Mudroom Addition
Tripping over book bags? Using piles of coats to hold the mail? While things are not quite that bad at my house, I must admit I am dreaming of a mudroom addition.

Consider what a perfect place to tuck a powder room (for quick clean up) and maybe a small closet for cleaning supplies and a vacuum...

The best part is mudrooms do not need to be large to solve a whole host of issues! This small addition makes a huge impact, both inside and out.
Since they don't tend to be large, mudrooms are often inexpensive additions - See, my dream is not completely irrational!
AFTER
On a row house, I envision some type of two story addition on the back of the house. Something that is reminiscent of an old sleeping porch.
Since the whole point of a mudroom is practicality, it would need tile floors. Black and white octagonal tiles would be great with my historic home and they wouldn't compete with the wood floors leading out from the kitchen.
Small spaces call for inventive solutions. Thinking sliding barn doors or pocket doors into a (my new but imaginary) powder room.
