Dirty Laundry--part 2

What fun to come home and find progress being made. Our powder room looks IMMENSE with everything ripped out. It almost makes me wish we would have gone with a pedestal sink (like my walking partner did) so we could enjoy the floor space. I gotta have storage though!!

Meanwhile, the pocket door has never worked correctly and had to be removed, necessitating a neat hole in the drywall. We have a new track and hardware on order. Let's hope it comes earlier than the predicted week's delivery!

Don't those painted laundry room cabinets in the background look hideous?! The masterplan involves new wood doors and unpainted hingers. Did ya know you can get doors online! That's where I found the pocket door hardware too--saved a hundred bucks. That works for me!


Here are the cabinets which, with a little tweaking, will replace the old vanity. They are actually wall cabinets, BUT they have huge doors with no center post and total a whopping sixty linear inches of storage. We bought them cheap at Home Despot just for the front faces and will build a kickspace and twenty-inch-deep new innards. It will be soooo easy to get into them to grab a towel for wet puppy paws and I'm hoping my sweetie will actually be able to locate a new box of Puffs Plus next time (it's not his fault he has the Y chromosome which prevents being able to find socks in a drawer or tissue in a vanity). We'll even have a place to hide Kharma's dog food. Life is good!
