The Laundry Room - Before and After

You may think that beginning my house tour posts in the laundry room is a bit strange.  But there's a method to my madness!  The laundry room was actually the first room to get a makeover - and it began the day after we moved in!  Here's what we were working with:

 

Our house - the layout

I've debated the route I'm going to take in terms of the path of my posts.  I considered doing one long post filled with the "before" pics of our house, and then smaller posts detailing each room and the projects that went into them, but in the end, I've decided to do room by room before and afters, with additional posts or tutorials where there were several projects that went into a room.  But to start, I think it would be helpful to give you an overall summary of our house and its layout.

I think the architectural style of our home is considered Southern Colonial Revival or something, owing mostly to the big white pillars out front.

 

Wow.  So it's been 3.5 years since my last blog post.  It seems like a lifetime ago - and, based on what has happened in my life since then, it may as well be a lifetime!  A week after my last post, I found out we were expecting our second child (a beautiful little girl, Charlotte, who will be THREE in December!).  Five months after my last post, my father passed away from brain cancer after an 18-month hard fought battle.  Miss you every day, Dad.
