The mud room in Brad and Kristen Jacobs’ home has many features.How many women would join Kristen Jacobs in naming the laundry room their favorite spot in their house?
It’s an easy choice when the workspace’s design is as user-friendly as that in Jacobs’ East Brainerd home.
The parents of three small children, Kristen and Brad Jacobs worked with Becky Worley and the staff of Classic Cabinetry to design a room that’s space-efficient, functional and durable.
“In our old house, we hung hooks on the wall of the room where you’d walk in, but the coats almost overtook the space,” Mrs. Jacobs said.
Now each child has a locker hidden by cabinetry panels, each with hanging space and shoe shelves. A laundry chute eliminates trips up and down stairs. A stainless-steel sink is installed in a wide, granite-topped workspace.
