More Than A Mudroom

This mudroom adjoins the dining room and outdoor pergola, while facing North toward the meadows and barns. It has a lovely old fieldstone floor which accepts a wheelbarrow of wood or company relaxing after a meal like Thanksgiving!

The exterior mudroom walls were gutted of damaged sheetrock and insulation was replaced with Roxul 15 (superior, nonflammable stone wool insulation) and exterior grade sheetrock. The entire room was electrically sanded, primed, and sanded by hand with 120 grit. Some new baseboards and recessed lights were installed.

Most of the room is exterior siding and matches that paint. The old beadboard ceiling is "Fine Paints of Europe Hollandac Brilliant" marine gloss in "White Dove". The Sycamore bench was handmade in Hopewell and the ceramic table is a beauty of Bill's. It could be heated electrically with a 7' Runtal floor radiator and the black window muntins allow a simple view of the dining room chandelier. The dutch door opens with a view of the large painting in there.
