    This is another thing that my home doesn't have. I want one.

    Does your home have one?

    Nope. The house I grew up in did.

    They are great places for tripping over shoes, and footballs.

    Nope.

    A mud room is like a little entry room to kick off dirty shoes, stow the dog leashes, hang the jackets, etc. It's a completely separate room though.

    Not A Dedicated One As Such, But The House Has A Wrap Around Veranda And

    At The Front Door There Is A Covered Area, I Think It's Called A Portico And The

    Previous Owners Used To Hang Their Wet Coats And Boots There, Not Really

    A Good Look At The Entrance To A House But GLEN Has Been Storing A

    Lawnmower, Brushcutter, And Assorted Other Garden Tools There So

    He Can't Really Talk.... ;)



    Cheers Glen.

    Not an actual mud room Per Se, but my enclosed back porch is the perfect transition between the outside world and the living area where boots can be removed before muddying up my floors or ruining my carpets.

    As for the front door, everyone is expected to wipe their shoes on the entrance mat

    Yes... Between the garage and the hall to the kitchen.

    A long time ago, according to the blueprints, it was a breezeway. When that area was enclosed they put up windows. Last summer I removed the windows and installed double doors. So now it's a proper mudroom.

    Same here. We just have a rug at each door to put shoes on.

    No. The house I grew up in did though.

    I live in a shoebox right now, so we have what is called a "closet" that we use for shoes and jackets. My fashion vests I hang in the closet in my bedroom, not in the closet with the jackets.
