    I don’t recall which happened first.

    Learning about mud rooms on a project or entering someone’s home via the mud room.

    The concept made sense to me when I learned about it when I first worked on a residential project. It was a foreign concept to me as I did not grow up with people who lived in houses with a mud room.

    I also remember realizing that the way we would entered my BF’s sister-in-law’s house was not the main entrance and in fact it is the mudroom. Their mudroom had everything as you described – laundry machines, boots, outwear, and as you described, it was the entrance for people familiar with the homeowner. I must admit that I did think it was strange that family entered from what I considered as the “back entrance”.

    I would also say that there are regional differences in the US- in some places it’s very common to put the laundry in the mud room.

      Interesting, thought as much; lots of cross-overs
