the laundry room part 1.

So I am well underway in the laundry room. Over a year ago (I think) I ripped out the drop ceiling back there and installed a new one, wired in three recessed lights and before that I had updated the floor when I did the kitchen - and now I am getting to the walls and everything else that is left.

When it is finished, the paint will be the color that's smeared on the wall by the dimmer switch for the overheads (which was just a test to see how it looked when looking through the door to the kitchen color). The doorway will be trimmed out like the kitchen door. The cabinets will be painted white, have new hardware and a crown molding just like the kitchen cabinets. All the rest of the trim will be installed (7" baseboards, the door to the bathroom, out the back of the house and window) to match the rest of the original trim and stuff that I have updated. Oh, and the recessed lights will have trim - as opposed to just loosely hanging out of the cans.

I plan on keeping my steam with the walls so it hopefully will not be much more than a month and this room will be finished. Or so is my plan. We'll see. But I will of course take another shot from this same angle when it is all finished for a good before/after. Well, kind of. A truly good before/after would be if I had a photo of how it looked with all the wallpaper and crappy floor and low ceiling etc. like it was when I moved in. That would be good.
