"Mudroom" is under way

We got the final sketch ups to approve last week and the "mudroom"/entryway built in is in the works. We have no idea how long it will take to finish, but we can't wait. I hope it will be all in and stained by mid-December. We'll see.

Without further ado, here are the sketches. 

We didn't like the look of the paneling detail in te right side. Taking it out will imitate the design of the paneling by our fireplace. 

Terrible picture but you get the idea. 

I even picked up the metal grating that will go on the lower drawers from Winks Hardware today. I just need to pick out and purchase hooks. We opted for the clover leaf pattern. Should add some nice "breathing" to the drawer as we plan to stow shoes, which are often wet in our climate, in the drawer.
