more progress on the laundry room

baseboard painted


shelves up


texture painted, cleaned up


Well the laundry room is getting close. I finished cleaned up all the mess from the texturing and masked off the floor trim. Meanwhile Tom nailed up the shelf rails and cut cedar to trim the space between the wall and ceiling. I used some paint from the garage which doesn't quite match but it's close enough for the space behind a washer and dryer. Tom cut shelves which I will have to paint before we move the appliances into place.

We are still trying what to do for the sliding door. What we want is something with translucent panels kind of like a shoji screen. There are some beautiful sliding doors on the market but they cost a small fortune. Ikea has a nice looking metal/translucent door that is inexpensive and lightweight; unfortunately it was discontinued and the local store was out of the size we need. But they have a larger door we can cut down to size. Either that or take another pass through the Habitat for Humanity store and see if there is anything usable. That or build it from scratch.
