What was once part of an attached barn to an historic home became a spacious mudroom in keeping with the existing antique character. A checkered painted floor on wide pine flooring is the main eye-catcher in this space. Minimalist benches with cubbies and antique hooks found in the attic make up the coat and shoe storage. A custom ladder leads to the loft area, a future craft room for the youngest members of the family. The ceiling was wire-brushed clean and left in its weathered beauty.
