The mudroom of this Italian Country inspired villa features ivory cabinetry which has been distressed and glazed to match the kitchen’s center island and the stained top of the built-in bench matches the stain of the island’s top. Lockers lend plenty of storage to house and charge phones and other devices and hooks create a handy place to hang handbags, coats and wet umbrellas.
