Kara's List - Third Week of November 2019

Happy Wednesday! This past week, I’ve been working on a mudroom renovation and realized that it is usually a high traffic space that often gets overlooked. A mudroom with a great design has cabinetry that hides away your “stuff” and then introduces other materials (cabinet hardware, countertop, fabric, flooring, lighting, rugs, wall covering etc.) to add charm, texture and depth. Although I am a big proponent of tucking away the “stuff” to create a clean look, some things are meant to be displayed.

Here are some of my favorite mudroom accessories that are meant to show off!

Enjoy…

ONE - The chunkiness of a woven basket is a perfect way to add warmth into your mudroom, while simultaneously hiding away your kid’s shoes or toys. This jute basket comes in five color options, shown in gray above, and the dusty rose is another favorite of mine.

TWO - Ah! I am all about a touch of leather, especially on hardware. These wall hooks give you the option to hang your coats on the round, light beechwood hook or you can place your scarf through the leather loop strap.

THREE - Yes, I am aware its freezing outside but I can’t help shopping for items that remind me of hot, summer days! This handwoven, natural cornhusk tote would hang beautifully on the leather hooks (click here for number two). This bag also comes in a black or melon fringe strap.

FOUR - Every mudroom needs a door mat. Go basic and let your flooring material or area rug be the star!

FIVE - Love me a hat! This company has so many amazing choices but I was drawn to this one in particular. The rich brown straw, mixed with the monochromatic suede strap makes me feel like I could pull it off year round. Plus, a hat is a great accessory to hang in your mudroom!

SIX - This company’s raincoats are too good to not share! I have been a fan for years and I can’t get enough of the feminine silhouette. Light sand (what is shown above), potato and khaki green are my top color picks but if those aren’t your tones, don’t fret, you’ve got thirteen other color choices!

SEVEN - Here is a visually appealing way to hang up your “to do list” of family chores!

EIGHT - These boots have been in my “saved” posts on my Instagram feed for years. I prefer short rain booties over tall so these are ideal in my book. The bow on the back adds a glamorous, dainty detail, that I am all for!
