Can you believe it's already back-to-school season

Can you believe it's already back-to-school season? 📚🎒 If your mornings are about to get a whole lot busier, here's a little mudroom inspiration to help keep the chaos in check. This is a roundup of some of my favorite mudroom spaces we've created to keep backpacks, shoes, coats, charging stations, and all the everyday essentials organized. Notice how every one of these mudrooms is different? Some have open storage, others have closed cabinets, baskets, drawers, or a combination of both. That's because every family lives differently, and every mudroom should be designed to fit the people who use it. Because when your home works better for your family, even the busiest school mornings feel a little easier. ⁠

This laundry room didn't even exist before the renovation. And honestly, just bringing the laundry in from the garage probably would have been enough to make this client happy. Creating a laundry room this cheerful? That's just a bonus… and all thanks to interior designer @annecanaledesigns⁠
The homeowner also wanted a dedicated place to iron. Since this is a pass-through space, we needed a solution that could tuck away when not in use. The answer? A recessed ironing board built right into the wall, complete with a light and electrical outlet. ⁠
It's one of those little details that may not be the star of the room, but it makes everyday life so much easier. Because great design isn't just about creating beautiful spaces, it's about creating spaces that work effortlessly for the people who use them. Thankfully, this one does both. 😉 ⁠

Throwing it back to this kitchen project today because it's such a good example of how thoughtful space planning can completely change how a kitchen feels.⁠
⁠
Long spaces can be tricky, so instead of treating this kitchen like one long run, we created separate zones to give it more purpose and personality. ⁠
⁠
In this kitchen, we carved out a dedicated coffee/bar area complete with a wine fridge. Fun blue cabinetry and an architectural tile splash help set the space apart, while a tall larder cabinet sitting on the countertop creates a natural division from the rest of the kitchen. ⁠Honestly, one of my favorite things about larders is how versatile they are.⁠
⁠
The result is a space that feels more intentional, more functional, and honestly just a lot more interesting!⁠ And if you love a good before and after as much as I do, swipe to the end to see what this space looked like before it became part of the kitchen. ⁠

Proof that a little color (and a lot of personality) goes a long way. Loved bringing this layered bar moment to life with @lzminteriors 💙

#LMDPolishedTraditionalRenovation was all about blending timeless traditional design with functionality that truly supports everyday family life, created in collaboration with the talented @annecanaledesigns. We brought together a cohesive multi-room renovation and addition that helps this young family move through their day with ease while still honoring the classic charm and character of their neighborhood. ⁠
⁠
A standout feature is the creamy inset kitchen cabinetry paired with unlacquered brass accents and rich wood tones, creating a layered warmth that feels both refined and welcoming. ⁠
⁠
Knowing that these thoughtfully designed spaces now support everything from busy mornings to relaxed weekends is exactly why we do what we do. ⁠🤍⁠

Feeling lucky 🍀 or just loving a good pop of green? This moody green tile brings depth and richness to this bar moment. ⁠
⁠
Paired with warm wood shelving, brass accents, and smoky charcoal blue-gray cabinetry, the result feels layered, inviting, and timeless.⁠

Taking a closer look at this kitchen detail because details matter. If this cabinet had standard doors, access and visibility would have been limited. The answer? Bifold doors, which completely fold out of the way, making everything easy to see and reach. With a full-height slab backsplash, clearances had to be carefully planned so the doors could open properly all while maintaining the balanced look of the feature wall. Details like this are why working with a certified kitchen designer truly matters.
