Before....
- A truly hideous shade of yellow. It was almost neon.
- There was a hole in the wall where a sink/cabinet combo should have been.
- The wall above the stairs was just sheet rock- did not even have primer.
- Non of the doors, trim, window seals, or baseboards were painted.
After.....
The back door looks much better now that it's painted. It was a dingy primer white.
Found this little guy at Ross back in the Spring. It was only $8!
We still have to install trim for the staircase. We've just been lazy lately. :)
Please excuse the tackle boxes/fishing gear on the stairs.
Half bath in laundry room.
And lastly, the view from the windows :)
I am very blessed to have a large laundry room. Our LR before was barely big enough for one person to squeeze into! :) Our new laundry room is bigger than our old master bedroom. I still want to add a potted plant or two, some decorative pieces on the walls, and maybe a bench.
On the sewing front, I finally got around to unpacking all of my sewing gear. My first project was curtains. I'm really liking the curtains I made for the laundry room. I tried several different things with them before deciding on just a simple valance.
It took me forever to decide on fabric.
I thought I wanted something like this, but once I hung them I decided against the idea. Instead, I'm going to use this version in our office.
- Paint color: Subtle Oatlands Taupe. (A light khaki color with gray undertones).
- Trim color: Du Jour
- We installed a cabinet/sink combo, and storage cabinets above the sink.
- We spent countless hours caulking doors, trim, molding, etc... I spent an entire day on my knees just painting the baseboards.
- Made curtains for the windows.

My messy breakfast table :) It's serving as my sewing spot until we can get my official sewing room painted.

I think the simple valance worked best.
I'm posting before/after pics of our office next. Stay tuned....
