MUDROOM: How to create a mudroom without remodeling - A mudroom is a wonderful thing, particularly for families with children. As a staging place for coming and going, a dedicated mudroom helps keep snow and mud off of good carpets while maintaining a centralized location for coats, boots and other outdoor paraphernalia. If I’m working on house planning concepts with clients, I always recommend building one into the plan. And if a client’s existing home doesn’t come equipped with a mudroom, there are still ways to make it work, even in the smallest available spot. By Linda Merrill, Networx.

In their downtime, they love to entertain, but their open-concept kitchen/family room was definitely more factory than functional. By Candice Olson, Scripps Howard.
