house progress–the laundry room

Here it is! The last room in the house besides the garage that we needed to finish. It ended up being really fun and bright which I love.

I designed the board and batten along the wall and added hooks along the wall. Eventually, I will put up a whole bunch of frames on the top ledge.

Then on this wall, we are going to add some cabinets above the washer and dryer, and finish the “mud room” area with hooks, bead board, and some shelving. I bought the bench base (bottom right corner) and am looking for fabric to match my orange! Ended up being a really bold project. I am able to house all my cleaning supplies and riss floral supplies in the back. The subtle chandelier is great too.

worth a thousand words

our life? check it out-

our girls never sleep in their own beds

we love Kneaders on a Saturday night

Dan and I both got new phones – just in time because mine shattered the day before I could get a new one – so we tried out the camera-

Brookie is such a great helper. She loves plugging and un-plugging things and helping to load the dryer. She was loaded up with her backpack and baby – two things that go everywhere.

I had paint chips on my door for weeks trying to pick the right hue-

People were caught red-handed sneaking candy.

I marveled at the beauty of my girls’ eyes-

We watched movies in weird manners

We adhered our granite countertops – notice our sink (it was sink #6 by the time we got through with sinks)

We spent a Saturday painting doors and dresser drawers.

And we finally put the door on after a big rainstorm and stake conference adult session – our poor babysitter – but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the color!

We then had to vacuum up all the midges and flies and mosquitoes who had entered that day.

My first try with Frog Tape’s Chevron tape – worked well!

We bought a couch off KSL the same night as all this door stuff!

I finished my “mother board” wall sapce

We finished the laundry room! I love the board and batten on the wall. Fun project.

Dan and I had a wonderful graduate dinner at BYU. This dessert was incredible!

I arranged flowers for Dan’s classmates one day-

We had dreams of flying!

We painted our nails to look “smokin'” as Abi let me know!

We babysat our favorite dog while our friends welcomed their 5th child into their family.

We painted our eyes with chapstick – looks painful.

We FINALLY seamed our granite countertops in the kitchen- hated every minute of it!

We invited ourselves over to our new neighbors for a football game.

And slept on their coffee table! (this is the third place you have seen B sleep in this post!)

We spent a lovely evening in Park City with Dan’s family for a dinner.

And for FHE we ate “lava” - caramel with apples to dip… and fingers.

Are you wiped out? This doesn’t even include the daily grind – school and music class for Abi, school and work for Dan, scouts, relief society, temple trips, cleaning, unpacking, organizing… etc. And this is only two weeks worth of stuff? What’s next? Bring it on!
