Rainy day projects...

Can you believe it is the middle of summer and we have seen very little sunshine?  I am getting tired of all these rainy days.  I guess it is good for the grass and all the plants but it makes for some dreary days.  I have been working on some smaller inside projects to keep busy.

This past week-the mudroom.  Yes I am excited that we actually have a mudroom and since it is a high traffic area I need it to be functional.  But there is no reason it can't be cute too, right?

We started out with some ugly brick red vinyl flooring and decided a cheap and easy solution was to buy a gallon of porch paint to brighten things up.  Then I found an inexpensive wooden bench and outdoor area rug to finish everything.  I was pretty happy with the transformation for only a few hundred dollars.
