With an exception of a few "tweeks" left in the mud room, I'd call this project complete.

| Move In Day (so many doors!) |
For a review, here's what we did....
- Removed door and trim adjoining mud room and kitchen
- Added tile flooring
- Swapped the oak flat-panel closet doors for white six-panel doors
- New white closet trim
- New paint (same color as the rest of the main floor)
- Added custom bench, shelving and trim
- New light fixture
- Added wall hooks for jackets

| Flooring done, wall taped off to visualize hook spacing |

| Closet: Final View |

| Final view |
The bench provides a nice area to sit while putting on your shoes. It's also a great place to leave your purse or to stack up science projects/baseball gear/library books so they're ready to go out the door with you in the morning. Everyone has their own "zone" and a place to leave their daily jacket. Other coats are kept in the closet.
The shelf was placed near the ceiling so that we didn't block the window. Its tall but perfect for beach towels, extra mittens or other items you don't need on a daily basis. Eventually we'll move the adult hooks up higher toward the shelf but we installed them before we had all these great plans. The boys hooks are perfect for them to reach right now and we'll move them up as they grow. I'm very pleased with the final results- it feels spacious and functional!
