Laundry room update

Laundry  Room Update

It's embarrassing, but here is what our laundry room used to look like:

It's a basement laundry room and a small one at that.  The placement of the washer and dryer made it virtually impossible!  When you were putting laundry in, you hit the wall behind you.  It was a nightmare.  I had a plan for it! 

It helps that I have free labor :)

 

First we had to gut the entire thing, Handy Man there had to re-route the plumbing too.  Here my hubby is putting in the new drywall.

 Hubby's way of taking measurements and drawing out a plan. :)

  

After rerouting plumbing, we built a platform for our washer, dryer, sink, and hot water heater.  Here it is slightly unfinished.

And here is the finished product:

View from the doorway :)  Behind the washer and dryer, we put bead board on the wall, and hung a shelf. 

 

 

 Bead board on the ceiling too!  I like how it makes everything look crisp and clean.  For a small basement room, that was super important to me.

 

I know the pics are kinda dark... SORRY!

Since this, we have replaced the old dryer with a matching one.  It was a project!  But it was well worth the results!   What do you think?
