modern coastal laundry room reveal

Since I haven't yet had any satisfying progress photos for our current One Room Challenge makeover, I figured I'd share with you the final photos from our laundry room makeover during the last challenge. When I last updated I had not had time to style or finish a lot of the trim work, so these photos are a more complete version of the room as it is today. With our many projects going on in the house we have not yet had time to put the crown molding or skylight in, but we'd like to do these all at once when we put up molding in our guest bathroom and master bathroom.

If you need a refresher on how the laundry room looked when we moved in you can catch up in this post.

I just love this hot pink lucite container that works perfectly to keep our dryer sheets handy without displaying their ugly box!

We do have a lot of positive news to share about our master bath progress for the current One Room Challenge (finally!). I'll be updating you in this Thursday's update!

one room challenge - week 4

This last week we spent our time searching for a plumber we could trust, and thank goodness we finally found one.

Even though not much progress is being made on the bathroom, we still have boxes of goodies arriving almost daily. This new rug is probably my favorite accessory so far!

In the meantime we're going to do the projects that we know can be completed, like our flooring, closing up the ceiling, and reframing our shower. At the very least, at the end of the challenge we'll have a toilet installed in here! Next time I join the One Room Challenge I'll stick to decorating :)

There have been major transformations this week in other One Room Challenge projects, so make sure to check them all out at Calling It Home! 

one room challenge - week 3

Thank you so much to everyone for the reassurance on my tile choices last week - it's good to know I'm not crazy for thinking it works together! Not a single thing from the to-do list got completed this week, but I'm not giving up just yet.

I spent about an hour on Tuesday trying to chip up the thinset that is left on the foundation from pulling up the tile, but I only got about 1 square foot finished before it felt like I had broken both my wrists! We promptly ordered a demolition hammer to take the rest of it off and to help break up our old shower pan for the plumber. Charlie took off of work so we have a four day weekend to complete the floors and hopefully get everything ready to lay tile next week! This means that we'll soon have a new toilet set and we can finally get our bathroom vanity out of our bedroom! It's only small progress, but it's progress nevertheless.

We also have a some promising leads on a couple of plumbers and a roofer, so all hope is not lost :)

Meanwhile, these pretties are just sitting around waiting to be installed:

>> tile, drain, towel bar, towels <<
