Happy Tuesday! I am so excited to share our farmhouse mudroom reveal- it’s finally done!
I guess I got everything backwards here. While everyone else is sharing neutral mudrooms tastefully updated with fall furnishings, mine is screaming spring. But I can’t help it. Although I really do like the look of a neutral space, I just can’t live in one- at least right now (who knows what I will like this time next year?). And besides, I really do feel like a mudroom is a space that you can really have so much fun with color and pattern!
Here’s the before:
So here it is…our farmhouse mudroom reveal!
*This post contains affiliate links. Please read my disclosure here.
As is par for the course, our rooms are too small to get a good full view with my camera lens, but here are the best shots that I can get…
The room started with the pink buffalo check fabric wall treatment, which I had been picturing in here for awhile. I added board and batten to the lower part of the wall and painted it bright white (The Perfect White by Valspar, which is my go-to white). The door paint is Mystic Sea, also Valspar.
I added these hooks from Joss and Main. They are super heavy duty, were a great deal, and bring that coastal touch to the room that we love so much!
This is thrifted artwork that I’ve had awhile (I think I paid about $2 apiece for these). I absolutely adore how they look in this space- they really elevated the room as soon as I added them.
When we moved the mirrored overmantel out of here, we missed the mirror. So, I hung this one on the broom closet- perfect for a quick hair or teeth check before we head out the door 🙂
One of the needs in this space was somewhere to put our boots that are muddy or grass covered- a boot tray! I gave ours a coastal inspired update:
The updated light fixture (it’s the Dasent from Wayfair) is one of my favorite parts of the room! I think it, plus the doormat, help to tone down the sweetness from the pink and aqua a little bit.
Speaking of the doormat…(sold out from Target, but here’s similar)
Not gonna lie, I’ve gotten way more use out of those boots as props at shoots than on my feet 🙂
This artwork by Katie Phillips. I love! I think it looks perfect with the finishes in the room. We put it right by the door as a symbol of welcome to anyone who comes in. This is my second Katie Phillips piece and I just love her work.
Those hooks are my favorite part of the room. I think I could swing from them and they would hold tight 🙂 Just having more hook storage has been pretty life changing in here.
And no, I decided not to add any shoe storage. I like not looking at shoes all over the floor, and since the boys have finally gotten pretty good at putting theirs in their room (thanks to the dogs who would eat them if they didn’t!), I decided that I didn’t want to mess with a good thing!
Thanks for following along!

September 7, 2017 at 7:42 pmI love this makeover! I wish that I could get away with a pink wall treatment, lucky! You have so many cute ideas in this one little room. I am impressed! I cannot wait until I have an entire room ready to show off 😂

September 8, 2017 at 4:58 amThanks Keri! This room was so small, it wasn’t that hard to finish, so don’t be too impressed lol 😉 Plus even then it took about a month! Thank you so much for checking it out!

September 8, 2017 at 4:53 amHi Lauren! Thanks so much the sweet words! I’m always drawn to those colors and the coastal theme, even when I make a conscious effort to try get away from it 🙂

October 29, 2017 at 9:36 amI love this! But, can you clean it? We have house cats and dogs, plus we are on a dirt road that gets dust everywhere when it is dry.
Beth says
October 29, 2017 at 5:10 pmHi Pat, thanks so much! We aren’t on a dirt road, but I grew up on one, and remember well how hard it it to keep the dust down. I’d say if you are going to try the fabric, I’d do something different on the lower half of the wall (like beadboard, board and batten, etc.) that is easier to clean. So far though, we haven’t had any issues with the fabric getting dirty, but I’m sure the board and batten covering the lower half of the wall helps a lot! And we have two dogs and so far, no dog hair! Hope this helps!

July 11, 2019 at 6:50 amWhat about a Sealant over the fabric to make cleaning easier?

October 29, 2017 at 5:02 pmThank you so much Barb! It has been such a fun and functional space for us!

October 29, 2017 at 8:06 pmLove it will try in bedrooms does the wall need to be smooth or can it have a little texture does it hurt the wall finish underneath. Thanks
Beth says
October 29, 2017 at 8:50 pmHi Sharon, I’m so glad that you liked it! It definitely does not hurt the wall finish underneath. As far as texture, I believe this works best on walls that are smooth- but maybe try it with a smaller piece of fabric (maybe a fabric scrap of the same weight that you are thinking of using) on the textured wall and see how it does. If it doesn’t work, you can always easily remove it. I do think that heavier fabric would work better on a textured wall. Good luck!

February 6, 2018 at 1:06 pmThis space is one of my favorites of the $100 Room Challenge. I am working on writing a February favorites post (not exclusively about the challenge), and would love to share your new mudroom! I would use one photo with a link back to this post, and possible use in a collage. Is that OK with you? If not, please contact me back and let me know and I will remove it.

February 6, 2018 at 6:49 pmNicki, thanks so much- I’m so glad you like the mudroom! It’s one of my favorite rooms in our house. It is absolutely fine for you to use the mudroom and link back- that would be awesome! Just a note that it was my laundry/bath that is right off of my mudroom that I transformed for the $100 Room Challenge (not sure if that matters for your post, but wanted to make sure you knew just in case) 🙂 I loved how your dining room turned out for the challenge!

September 5, 2018 at 10:13 pmWhat an adorable mudroom – I really love the turquoise door paired with the pink. It is so sweet! I also love how the mudroom is such a rough and tough sort of space and you’ve made it so inviting and girly 🙂

September 6, 2018 at 9:07 pmThanks so much Laura! I am the only girl in a house full of boys so I have to add some femininity in there when I can 😉
