Here we go again

It's about to be the start of a new year and what better way to start it than with another remodel.  That's right, folks.  We are doing another room remodel.

This time our energy will be focused on our laundry room.  We bought a new front-load washing machine and dryer as our anniversary gift to one another and we thought it was a little crazy to put them in our laundry room when it was in such desperate need of a facelift.

Every house has that one room where junk is stored and where you just can't bring yourself to face.  That is our laundry room.  It is bad.  Real bad.  It looks a lot like what the rest of our house looked like before we started systematically remodeling room by room.  It's an embarrassment and you can see it through the glass door in the kitchen, so it is also a constant eyesore.

That ends tomorrow.  We are putting down new flooring, retexturing, painting, fixing the trim, and changing out lights.  Our hope is to be done in a week.  We have to be done in a week.  We have an infant that loves to spit up and I do laundry at least every other day, so I don't know if we can make it longer than a week.

Here is a glance at some before pictures so you can get a feel for how bad it is.

Old bifold doors and paneling 

The old washer and dryer

Awful threadbare carpet and trim

Perhaps the worst light fixture ever

The good news is this that this room and one other stand in between me and my goal of finishing all our  remodels before I turn 30.  Then we get to paint the outside.  It never ends.
