We enter our house 99% of the time through our garage, which is off the kitchen. Right when you walk in from the garage, there is a small mud room with cabinets, a sink, and an extra "beverage" refrigerator. There is also access to the backyard through the mud room. It's a great little room, perfect for kitchen overflow, pets, and of course, mud, boots, and coats! Everything was very old in this room- laminate cabinets, an ancient (HUGE) refrigerator, the exterior door. I had always dreamed of putting cubbies for the kids in this space, and in the winter of '13, it became a reality.

New cabinets going in:
(The black paint on the right side of the above picture is both magnetic and chalkboard paint, I painted one on top of the other. It took many many coats to become effective, but works great!)
Cubbies going in (Brian the carpenter built them):
