Striping Out and Planning a New Room

My husband and I have lived in our home for about a year now. Time has passed so quickly! We finally got the motivation to completely strip out a room that is connected to our garage. It's an odd space ..very long and rectangular.

There were built in cabinets and peg boards nailed to the walls which were a pain to tear down. We think someone wanted to use that room as a shop ..even though there's a shop building in the back yard. Weird, I don't know.

We have gone from considering turning this room into a dining room, spare bedroom and most recently a mud room/laundry room/bathroom all in one. Piping and water and sewer would have to somehow be connected to that room and that would be a huge challenge! In order to turn it into anything we want to knock out the wall that is in our kitchen that would lead to that room. I want to put in French doors. -drool- Also, we definitely have to take the shop lights out and put new lighting. There's a thousand plug in outlets that we need to get rid of. This room is going to be WORK!

Not sure yet what to do with it but, at least we have it empty and ready to go.
