Well, I have spent every spare moment this week preparing to paint and then painting my bathroom and laundry room. The bathroom is still gray and white, but I lightened it up a few shades and then installed some new cabinets (ok, I put the cabinets together and DAD installed them, but it still counts). The laundry room lost a cabinet, got painted blue and then received a new closet system. I couldn't have done it without Mom who helped sand and paint and Dad and Shane who did the heavy lifting! Here is a before (though not a very good one) and an after of the laundry room:

BEFORE - You can't see it very well, but the walls are white, the cabinet is brown and the clothes rack is small and leaning precariously:


AFTER - The view from the doorway:



AFTER - The view of the cabinet, washer and dryer:


Lots of work, but well worth it!
