Home Project 1 Complete: The Wash Room

The first completely finished home project. The wash room when we got here was a bit cramped, with old cabinets as the only storage. So we started by removing one set of cabinets so we could stack the washer and dryer. Then I ordered the shelving and selected the paint. When the shelving got here we removed the other cabinets and repaired the wall. Let that dry, primered since there was icky old stuff and the new paint color was light. Then I painted. Next we hung the shelving. I could have taken the shelving above the machines, but new machines are so big that I thought I'd leave it open for now.

All of the shelving is Elfa Shelving purchased at The Container Store. I have been very pleased with their on-line site and shopping experience as well as phone service and product delivery. They also offer free design services for your space. I'll be utilizing this when we tackle the walk-in closet.

I'm loving the new space. I've got way more shelving, a place to hang dry clothes and it's all so easily accessible. Organization makes me happy!

So here is the after:
