Sneak Peek

So slowly, but surely I'm trying to get a few of these projects FINISHED! I thought I'd share a few of the pics of work in progress...

Laundry Room:
This is the only before pic I have and it's the one I used to sell the Washer and Dryer on Craigslist.


I decided to go with a green apple color on the walls. I thought what the heck I'll experiment with color in a room I only pass through on the way to the garage or to do laundry. I kinda like it. Yes it is Bright! :) I'm definitely using the galvanized tubs for storage...Thanks IKEA! :) I'm not sure about the apples...my mom's idea for decoration.


The shelf has been painted a BRIGHT CLEAN White. I like the big contrast. That open area I'm planning on putting on cabinet doors to keep all the laundry stuff tucked away. I experimented with some Toille shelf liner...it may stay, it may go.


On to the kitchen....
This has been a big overhaul that is still in progress. It's just taking me much longer than I anticipated. I've run into a few problems here and there. Look at the couple of surprises I found when my counters were torn out! :)

HOLY SMOKES...Look at that below my sink I had some pullout shelves. WHO KNEW?! I NEVER thought anything could be put there I just thought it was always decoration. EXCITEMENT! Go check out the cabinets below your sink, you may be in for a FUN surprise!! :) I wonder how many places I lived in had these and I NEVER KNEW?! :)


Not a great picture, but this is some wasted space in the corner where my counters/cabinets turn. I always knew it was wasted space under there, but with the counters off I got a good visual and now an idea of what to do with it. It will be way down the line but that back wall opens up on the other side of a bar, so I'm planning on opening that wall from the other side to do some shelving. I think it will be a creative touch! :) BUT WAY down the line!!

Now for what is most exciting my COUNTERS with the new cabinet hardware installed! Yes you only get a peak at the counter color with the cabinets and hardware, but it's looking SUPER GOOD! I've just got to get the walls and a few things finished. :)
