Eclectic Chinoiserie

Design Sponge

This is such a cool example of the versatility of Chinoiserie - an entryway/mudroom with a Chinese Chippendale mirror paired with a faux marble DIY bench. Details on this fun bench here.

One Room Challenge - Creating a Mudroom

One thing I wanted to do in my laundry room was to create a little mudroom area. I found this copper Smith & Hawken boot tray for my rain boots and wellies at Target for $25.00. For a spot to sit down while putting on and taking off boots, I repurposed an antique mahogany corner chair from one of my bedrooms. I covered the seat in a designer sample I found on Etsy for $15.00. It's Clarence House Les Porcelaines Bleu. Lastly, I already had a garment rack in the laundry room from The Container Store. It is now very handy for dry cleaning, ironing, and I keep on it a couple of my rain coats for dog walks in the rain. Total cost of under $50 for my mud area. If you missed my reveal on Wednesday, you can find it here.
