Tootsie Heaven - Great Flooring

Flooring, it matters.  I hope to one day get all our living areas to hard surfaces.  I bet by the time all six kids are gone I will finally have hardwood/tile flooring.  (Kinda like I finally got a Suburban to seat all our butts RIGHT before my oldest went off to college. :o()

Here are some great or unique flooring ideas.

Dreamy Mudrooms

As a mom of six I have always dreamed of a mudroom.  Hey, I can dream.  Shoe storage is definitely a plus and cubbies for all those school items too.  Here are some dreamy Mudrooms!!

Lots of drawers, doors on the cabinets and room for shoes below.

No room for shoes and I could see this area getting cluttered but I like the backboard.

Classy looking cubbies but no good shoe storage.

I love the pull out drawers for the shoes, excellent idea.

Tons of nooks and crannies, great shoe storage, nice wood.

Well Done Shabby Chic

I admit, I am not much of a shabby chic kinda woman.  A lot of it is too sloppy and messy for me.  HOWEVER, these designs are well done shabby chic!
