I shared with you earlier about a fun, new project that I am working on along with Daybreak Utah, Bangerter Homes and Brian Clark, from Brian Clark Designs (an award winning interior designer). We are working together to build and design a home that will then be a part of the Utah Parade of Homes in August. I also have the opportunity to work with some of my favorite blogger friends: Char, Jen, Lara and Shelley.

Things are really moving along fast. We have less than 90 days to go from an empty dirt lot to a full blown, fully decorated home.

I am responsible mainly for the Laundry Room and the Mud Room in the home. I have been working with Brian Clark, the interior designer, and am getting really excited about the direction we are heading with our plans for these two rooms. We are on a tight budget and the home is not huge, but I am really happy with things as we get closer to finalizing our plans.
Mudroom
I actually picked these two rooms. Does that surprise any of you? Ha Ha! Here’s my thoughts on why I specifically picked these two rooms out of the other rooms in the home. Most people spend their time and money fixing up and beautifying the more “public” areas of their homes, the rooms that their guests are more likely to see. Which is great! But…in my own home, as a home maker I spend quite a bit of time in my Laundry Room doing some fairly unglamorous household chores. Why not make it an area that you LOVE to be in?
Here are some inspiration pictures that Brian and I are using to create our Mudroom space.

So I am on a quest to make these two areas as inviting yet functional as some of the other main areas in the home.
These are some of the inspiration pictures that we are using to create the Laundry Room space. Want to see more of our inspiration pictures? You can follow along or check them out on our DIY House Pinterest Board.
Things are moving along so quickly. Pretty soon we will be able to actually get inside the DIY Blogger House and get to work! I love the overall look and charm the home has on the outside, don’t you? Can’t wait to start working on the inside!
