Wash, Dry, Fold, Dance.....

Layla at The Lettered Cottage
is having an end of the year party for
favorite re-do's
Ok...so here is my project from last fall


The laundry room make over

 I needed an office......
So I got to thinking that maybe that storage room
attached to the laundry room could work, hummmm....
I don't mind listening to clothes being washed while I work
and while I'm at it.......

The sink was pink
There was a window where there shouldn't be
So down came the wall to the storage room
Out came the window so more cabinets could be added
gone with the sink
up with the office cabinets 
&
Viola
A beautiful place to

Wash, Dry, Fold,  Dance
oh yeah...*work*


Welcome to my *dated* laundry room
Only 1 cabinet on this wall is such a waste...

This window has to go to make room for more cabinets...

This pink sink and laminate are just not right.....
The wall to the storage room is down


 but this beam has to be recessed into the wall


finally the window gets moved

The window will  now go here over my desk


The contractor & The Hubs

My new window

A fresh coat of paint



The black granite sink


My pride & joy... a piece of  Sonoma Tile




The cabinets go up around my newly moved window......




Here's why I did it, really....
so Matthew could bathe in luxury!!!

  7. Kathy, I LOVE your laundry room/office!! I saw the photo of the little one in the sink & it reminded me of our last house. We had a laundry room with a big sink where our girls took baths. I loved it because I could fold laundry & one of my girls could take a bubble bath as long as they wanted!
