Mid-century homes often have a poor connection to the garage. This is largely due to early building codes and a very real fear of fire and chemicals, which led to a deliberate separation between the living space and the garage. Breezeways, covered but open-air spaces, were one solution to provide a covered path from house to garage. Today, however, our need for convenience and a dedicated space for daily clutter has made the breezeway to mudroom conversion a hugely popular project.

In Today's Episode You'll Hear:

  • Why your mid-century ranch was probably not originally connected to your garage. 
  • What to consider before you decide to convert your breezeway into a mudroom.  
  • How to determine which type of breezeway conversion could work best for you.
