On top of all the traveling and camping going on, last month an awful thing happened: our washer blew up, flooding the whole laundry room! Matt had to pull out all the flooring and put fans in the room for about three days to dry up all the water.
It sucked. But as luck would have it, our neighbors' dryer was dying at the same time. They went out and bought a new set and we acquired their washer. SCORE!
We further turned this little frown upside down by taking this opportunity to do a little remodeling. This house was purchased out of foreclosure, and was a complete mess when Matt bought it. He has done amazing things so far, but the laundry room has been low on the list.
Can you see my hands and forehead? I'm trying not to get me in the mirrored (YES MIRRORS!!!!), cabinets. I cannot believe someone thought those mirrors were a good idea. They thought it was such a great idea they did it in the kitchen too! I would not believe it myself either if I had not seen it.
This picture has horrible lighting, but the door is a dingy dirty white and there were once these hideous egg yolk colored mini blinds covering the window.
So we painted the ceiling, the walls, took down the mirrors and painted the cabinets and put in clothes rod. It is not finished yet and I hate to put up pictures with the room only 80% done, but I just cannot hold in the excitement of this accomplishment any longer. Plus, I told my brother, (he just so happens to be my first follower!) that I was doing this and I want to show him the progress.
So, here is just a little sneak peak. I am going on a big camping trip in a week and then to Disneyland (yipee!) with the my family so the reveal will have to wait until the end of next month. Not to worry though, I'll have other things to talk about until then!
