Laundry Room Re-Do

Our laundry room was a sad place. Never got fully painted, ugly dark cabinets and shutters. Weird outside door to the patio that never got used. It was just a place to do laundry and put stuff that you had no idea where else to put. So...Mike redid everything and turned it into a MUCH more use-able space. It's now 1/2 laundry room, 1/2 sewing area for me. Now...it is a very small space...but it's mine. Bright, cheery and functional!
He knocked out the broom closet and removed the outside door. Patched and finished everything up. He took down the ugly brown cabinets and repainted them. The whole room got a fresh yellow coat of paint. New built in desk area and shelves. New bi-fold door instead the old door. And, a little matching curtain to finish the room off!!!
There are still a few things to finish. The door and door trim needs to be painted. And the ceiling and floor boards needs to have caulk around the edges to finish them off. And...outside need some work. Still have to paint the outside of what used to be the door. And find a dumpster for all the old stuff that came out of the room. But...it's just about finished and I think it looks great!!!
Next house project will be MUCH bigger. We have plans to knock down the wall between the living room and family room!

I love it...super cute and functional!!! Talk to me about knocking out the wall!! I'd LOVE to knock out the wall between our formal dining room (which we don't use for that...it's an 'activity room' for the kids) and the Living room.

And I'd also like to knock out the kitchen wall and make it a sit down bar into the living room. Thinkin' i'll have better luck talking Mike into the first project, though!
