Laundry Room Renovation

During my 3 weeks off I tend to be on the bored side after the holiday hustle and bustle is over and Whitney goes back to work.  This winter I decide that it would be a great idea to fix up the laundry room!  We have been wanting to tile our laundry room, bathrooms, kitchen and entry way for some time.  We also have just enough tile given to us by a friend to use in the laundry room.  So the plans I proposed to Whitney were to give it a fresh coat of paint (I love doing this actually), put a cabinet for storage on the wall behind the washer/dryer, tile the floor, and possibly update the fixture.  This project being all DIY so that we learn how to tile an easy space, since our laundry room is pretty square, and save money by doing it ourselves.  Whitney said it was a go and I started immediatly!  Currently you can see what I have done with Whitney's help on the cabinet and floor removal.  Tiling is next...I can't wait to see the final product!  After all is done we have some new chocolate colored laundry hampers to add that my brother gave us for Christmas and our ironing board that matches as well:)

Here you can see the new tile we will be putting down

New cabinet...this almost fell on top of us because it was not quite in the studs the first time but no worries it is now in the right spot and holding up well!


 
Love being organized!
