I owe you an update of the laundry room renovations, which you may remember was described as a Level 1 project (so, no electrical or plumbing and less than 100 trips to Home Depot). Even though the duration on this project has been relatively short, I have to admit that it has still been a surprising large pain in the arse. Those sticky vinyl tiles, though self-described as "The Easier Floor You'll Ever Install," were actually majorly time consuming and challenging to align. Plus, they aren't all that durable, so the corners were easy to bend and the edges were easy to chip. And even before that, we attempted to level the terrible floor with some self-leveling compound, which turned out to not be all that successful. You can see how terrible the floor was on the kitchen side of the room. It...was...gross.
But Wilson plugged away, and eventually covered it all up. Here's a photo, pre-trim.
Overall, the room looks better. It really does. But I'm not really in love with the floor. I think the color is ok, but the tiles still feel cheap to me, and the foam underlayment we added below the tile gives it a sort of squishy feeling that I don't really enjoy. The thing that I LOVE though, is the wall that Wilson built out behind the washer and dryer. It looks AMAZING.
We picked up a big cabinet from Craigslist last night, which I plan to stick in the corner behind the door, after I paint it (of course). I want the cabinet to hold various mudroom things, including: cat litter and supplies in the bottom, swimming stuff, disc golf stuff, camping stuff, seeds and gardening hand tools, etc.
