Mudroom: June 2008 to Feb. 2011 Interior The plan was to drywall the mudroom. I hate dry-walling so after discovering wood siding below 2 layers of newer siding on the 3 original walls I decided to put up wood siding to match on the new wall. Only later would I realize that although I saved work in siding, I made more work in trim.
The mudroom was finally finished on Sunday, February 6, 2011. The final touches included painting the wood siding and trim, installing a stamped tin (steel) ceiling, installing a new light, and installing a coat rack / hooks. Our neighbor Steven handled the final painting and did a fantastic job. However, prior to that, Em and I had to patch every single nail hole and then prime the wood, which took quite some time. The tin ceiling is from ClasssicCeilings.com and consists of four 2'x4' main panels (model S209) and one 2'x4' panel (model S235) cut in strips to fit around the border. All five pieces, including tax and shipping, cost $168.92. I think it looks amazing. The light fixture and paint are from Home Depot, and cost $45 and $5 respectively, with the latter price being low since it was "Oops" paint. The stainless steel hat/coat rack and hooks are from IKEA.
