Mudroom/Office Plans (with mockup)
Mudroom/Office Part 1

First, we needed to determine where we wanted the closets. We have about a 20 inch utility closet and a 66 inch double door coat closet. Both closets are 28 inches deep. There is 4 feet from the front windows to the first wall. That space will have a floating bench and hooks. Hubby crunched all the numbers! Thank The Lord!!

Here he is framing the closets.😍

Adding the header to the closets.

Closets are framed. Electric is completed. You can see where Hubby cut out holes for the recessed lights. Now we are ready for drywall. That's my job... fun!!😎

This is where the room starts to take shape. It's wild how drywall makes such a difference! We bought 9 sheets, let's see how far we get!

My goal is to have as little seams as possible. Fingers crossed! Now this tool is awesome! It's call a RockRipper. You place your utility knife in the measurement hole you need, then drag it across the sheet of drywall. It just scores it, then you can snap the drywall, voile'!

Starting to look like a new room!

Whew! Drywall is finished! A few more seams than I wanted, but we hate to waste $. We used almost every bit of those 9 sheets. We still need one more...Oh well. Now for the mudding. I really don't mind this part... its the sanding. 😝

Did you notice the lights are on?? We used the same LED 4" Recessed Lights we have in the kitchen. They are SUPER easy to install! We have lights in each closet and on either side. Hubby did a great job!
