Evanston Kitchen Addition & Renovation

Leader Builders added a side entry and mudroom to the house. This kid-friendly room includes a large cabinet with cubbies and a wood-look tile floor which can stand up to wet shoes. A radiator by the door comes in handy for drying off those wet shoes. The mudroom can be closed off from the rest of the house with a glass-paneled door, preventing winter drafts from coming in.
