Mothers Want A Mudroom
A mudroom is said to be one of the most-wanted home additions, especially among homemakers with small children.
The chief purpose of the mudroom is to trap mud —or dirt of any kind—before it gets into the living area. It does so by changing the traffic pattern into the house. The well-equipped mudroom should have a lavatory, a sink with hot and eold water, a place to hang clothes and a work counter where flowers can be arranged and vegetables fresh from the garden can be washed. This means that the mudroom is not only a place to shed damp boots and clothes before entering another part of the house, but It is also Ideal for children to use while playing.
The ideal place for a mudroom is just off the kitchen. Other good spots are the garage or the laundry room, if it has an outside entrance. In any of these locations, a mudroom adds up to convenience for the family.
