Laundry Room

The laundry room is finally finished. 
 It has been a long, stop and start project. 
 It actually is a very small
(tiny, tiny) upstairs bedroom full of angles
and a slanted ceiling.  No closet, only an under
the eaves cubby and a couple of built in drawers.
The laundry room was actually in the basement but right
after we got the house I was dragging some sheets
down the staircase and took a tumble.  So we came up with
the idea of putting the laundry upstairs. 
And it has worked out great.  This what the room used to look like.
 
 
The plumber had to come in and put in pipes and drain.
Mike painted the room blue and white then
 put in lower kitchen cabinets and a counter top.
 
 
 
 
I made the curtain,
 
 
out of this fabric.
 
 
Added some "old things."
 
 
Made a laundry bag.
 
 
Mike added overhead spot lights.
 
 
I keep all my scrapbooking supplies in the cabinets.
And use the counter to work on projects.
 
 
 
At the other end of the room is our old
Hoosier cabinet.  This picture also gives you a good idea of what
a head banger the slanted ceiling used to be.
 
 
I still have a few decorator projects left to do, such
as paint the under the counter stool and I want to put another
old shelf above the washer and drawer.  Will show you
those projects after they are completed.
Have a great week.  We are supposed to get snow.
