I am excited to be participating in a new summer series this year. Amy from My Life from Home is hosting a Room by Room Summer series. A group of bloggers will be sharing their summer home, one room at a time. The best thing about this new series, we are sharing our rooms as they are this summer.

The first room in the series is our farmhouse entryway mudroom.
