I Built a $5,000 Mudroom for Under $1,700
What happens here
The project concludes with a final reveal of the completed mudroom. The total cost of the DIY build is calculated to be $1,662.03, a significant saving compared to the estimated $7,000-$12,000 for professional installation. The most expensive parts were the walnut slab for the bench ($500) and the plywood ($84-$88 per sheet). The creator highlights the functional storage with opening upper cabinets, spacious lockers with hanging hooks, and deep drawers below the bench. The finished product showcases a moody, modern aesthetic with the Iron Ore paint and natural wood bench. The creator invites viewers to share ideas for further improvements.
Goal: Present the completed mudroom and analyze the total cost savings
