French-country Formal
Traditional Entrance, Chicago
This sunken mudroom, with half-height walls on the kitchen side, allows for parents to see over the half-wall and out the spacious windows to the driveway and back yard, while also obstructing view of all that collects in the homeowners' primary entry. A wash sink, cubbie lockers, and a bench to take off shoes make this room one of the most efficient rooms in the house.
Alternative to front closet (or back entry)
