Mud room

The mudroom -- with doors in both the front and back, we all use this as our primary entry and the dogs use it as their main area too.  Heated tile floors dry up spills (from the water bowl) and melt snow and ice that comes in on boots and jackets.

Everyone in the family has their own cubby (except the dogs have to share one).

The piece of furniture on the right is a built-in piece that has a large drawer on top. The bottom is a dog kennel where the girls like to nap.
