I thought perhaps the mudroom was an addtion - and that would preclude removing the wall.<br /><br />But if you could bump into the bathroom from the mud room, that would give you more counterspace on that wall. <br />However, if the stairs approach on that mudroom wall - it's not possible. <br />I agree, I would want to keep the main area access to the bathroom as well. <br /><br />What year is the house? I was wondering if the bathroom and wonky closet were added later. <br />(I love kooky old houses too - but they do present challenges!) <br />TRSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179509.post-14661278603716527302009-11-12T14:50:08.288-07:002009-11-12T14:50:08.288-07:00I'd love to use the mudroom space as kitchen s...I'd love to use the mudroom space as kitchen space, but it was an addition so the true back of the house ends at the back of the kitchen. A lot of the old houses are like this and I think it might be too big of a job to change for only adding 3" of space.<br /><br />Plus, the mudroom as stairs down into the basement and I'm not sure how well that would work as part of the kitchen. <br /><br /><br />The only reason I like keeping the kitchen door to the bathroom is so there is a public entrance to it. That way our guests don't have to go through our bedroom if they want to use the facilities.<br /><br />Oh the joys of old kooky houses...Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05587622592688368240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179509.post-6746770075966535982009-11-12T14:37:20.809-07:002009-11-12T14:37:20.809-07:00I hope there is hardwood underneath!!

Not sure what to recommend - though slate is a good idea (wtih dark grout)<br /><br />Have you considered taking down the wall to the mudroom to extend the kitchen? And then move the kitchen entrance to the bathroom around to the mud room side? Cuz who wants the bathroom opening to the kitchen? Gah! That way, you would get more counterspace on each wall!! <br /><br />You would still have a cute little little entry/mudroom nook to the left of the kitchen door to collect boots & hats and such.<br /><br />TRSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179509.post-82952060830636735792009-11-12T13:04:34.375-07:002009-11-12T13:04:34.375-07:00If it's tile, make it easy to clean with dark ...If it's tile, make it easy to clean with dark grout!Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04576716257914307725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179509.post-15628014800108751352009-11-12T12:52:48.514-07:002009-11-12T12:52:48.514-07:00slate!
