There's a hot new room that is high on buyer's want lists--the mud room! A mud room is a "catch-all" entry room that is very functional and can be decorated to the nines, too!

Many houses have an existing space that could be converted to the "mud room" aesthetic. In an existing house, finding an unused space to transform into a mudroom is the most cost-effective way to get this look (and not have to remodel!). If you don't have one (and unless you've got a fairly new home or are really lucky), Make One Up!
