![]() ![]() I had bought some cheap fabric bins when we first finished the mudroom. Our cubby baskets were really bugging me. I switched it out for this classic seeded glass bottle lamp with a bit of a taller, thinner shape and I think it’s a great neutral piece that I could instantly use in a number of places around the house. It was honestly starting to feel a bit more tacky than fun to me, and it was just a bit too big for this corner of the mudroom table. I had kind of a fun blue and white lamp in here on the console table previously. My goal for this update this time around was to switch out a few things that I considered to be the “cheap and cheerful” temporary solutions in here to more permanent, sturdy items that would stand the test of time a little better, both in durability, and in style hopefully. I love it so much that I actually just painted one of our back doors black as well. I had also painted the door between the mudroom and the kitchen black last year, which you’ll see in a minute, and I’m just so glad I did that. □ (Can someone please also notice how the light on the garage outside matches the hardware in this room? Quite proud of that. ![]() I also strongly believe that every traditional space can benefit from at least a little blue and white, so I’ll never part with my umbrella stand. Some of the best choices we made were the long open bench design that allows us to sit down or toss things down easily, the heated floors that dry boots and snow gear quickly, so many hooks (we could use a few more, actually), and the classic demi-lune console table and arched mirror that make the space feel so welcoming and not completely utilitarian since this is the entryway we use the most.

Here’s my latest version of our timeless farmhouse mudroom. With this latest mini refresh, I’ve added a few things that I’m really happy about and this is a space that just makes me feel good, because it just works. ![]() Slowly, with each refresh, you start to uncover what “classic style” really means for you as more and more things start to stand the test of time. It’s amazing to see that with each “pass” of a space, there are things that you’ve added that you just love and want to keep, while there are always one or two things that didn’t turn out to be so timeless after all. The truth is though that this process of going back over a space and making little changes is also my favorite part. If I bring something in, I want it to ideally be something that I’ll love for at least the next 10-20 years and if I’m tired of something after just a couple of years, I feel like it’s a bit of a failure. Of course, there’s a big part of me that wants all of the things that I add to my home to be completely timeless. I have to admit that I sometimes have a love/hate relationship with this whole process of going back over a room and making little changes as time goes on. We’re at the point in our renovating/home updating adventure where there are several rooms that we still have barely touched, while there are others that we addressed early on that have already gone through several different updates, changes, and “looks”. Here are a few little changes I’ve made in our home’s timeless farmhouse mudroom. 25 Shares After years of serving us well, our mudroom was in need of a little decluttering and refreshing recently. ![]()
