Progress

Progress in the laundry room is trucking along. There is a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore "Wickham Gray" that has livened the whole place up. It's fresh and light and we both like it very much.

The first cabinets are up! Ikea's mounting system for wall cabinets is BRILLIANT and they are easy-peasy to put together. Jeff chose the "Stat" door fronts and they work very well with the whitewashed ceiling and cottage-y look of the room.

Jeff also made square panels to hang real light fixtures. Goodbye bare bulbs! We got the idea when we were looking at Ikea model kitchens and it looks great.

Jeff and his dad also stacked our washer dryer. Tracking down the right stacking kit took 2 weeks and five more phone conversations than it should have required (hear that Sears Canada?). Nevermind- it's up now and it works great. I love being able to see lost socks in the bottom of the dryer. Here's a full view of how things are shaping up. Those light fixtures are such a big improvement and the room no longer feels like a cave.
