I mentioned our laundry room makeover before and I know you're on the edge of your seat!!! First, let me start by saying that my laundry room was always my favorite room in the house:
Just kidding. It was
vile.
It has bugged me since before we moved in to the house. And because I hated it so much, I just let it get grosser and grosser until it was so gross I couldn't stand it anymore. So, with John being out of work, we decided to take it on. Here is what it looks like now:
John took a tile class at Home Depot and did the new floor all by himself! Before, the floor was a fake green "marble" linoleum floor. It had holes in it...and I do not even like to think about what sort of disgustingness that floor had met in its days. When he ripped it up, he sanded the plywood that was underneath:
And then laid a concrete subfloor (I forgot to take a picture of that part). Then he was ready to lay the tile. We decided to do black grout so it wouldn't show as much dirt.
...and then it was done!
Next, I painted, we removed the old wire shelf (I hate those things...raise your hand if you have them in every closet in your house.....and they leave lines on your clothes and things fall through them, etc.....not to mention they're ugly....ugh! HATE THEM!!!) and we put up some white cabinets from
IKEA. We painted and hung a dowel for hanging clothes to dry, hung hooks for our bags, and finally, I made a little curtain for the window.
Done! What do you think? Now I actually
enjoy doing laundry. That won't last long though.
