Garage Entryway and Mudroom - Putting on Paint

Last week, we celebrated one year up-stairs and I posted unflattering before photos of our garage entry / mudroom.  Here's a quick show and tell of how the space has been slowly transformed with reclaimed wood and leftover paint from "upstair" projects.  So far, I've spent $24 out of pocket on supplies and wood and am starting to love the new look.  :)

Before: Photo taken from inside the garage, looking into the mudroom entryway.


Stage 1: Patched walls, painted trim white (leftover trim paint), painted door Victorian Pewter (leftover bathroom wall paint), attached free reclaimed wood louvers in a square pattern using construction adhesive.

Stage 2: Attached reclaimed bamboo quarter round to door using construction adhesive.


Stage 3: Primed and painted molding, ceiling, and walls using leftover paint.  Removed mudroom carpet.  :)


I'm halfway through giving this space new life and am excited to share the last half of the remodel next week, with tutorials to follow.  :)

    1. I didn't realize what difference molding can make on a wall, but I think it is safe to say I'm hooked. :)

    1. Thank you, Kim. :) The louvers had been sitting around in my garage for a while. It's funny how project ideas just have to simmer, sometimes.
