New Laundry Room

So...our laundry room was-ugly! There was not much to it. It's a pretty small space that you walk through when you come in from the garage. Had an old side-by-side washer/dryer with a beautiful wire rack above it. ;-) I had already cleaned it off in the picture, but it was stacked full of detergent and other random things.
Inspired by a closet laundry room in the "Lowe's Creative Ideas's Magazine"(yah, they made their money off that "free" magazine!) we decided it was time to make our room PRETTY! We hired my brother to do the work, picked out new appliances, paint colors, counter top, sink, etc. Now, it is a functional space! We have closed storage, a laundry tub, AND washer and dryer! I am LOVING it AND loving the new appliances!! (and...I totally need to STOP using my cell phone camera and taking crappy pictures, but I'm too lazy to find the other one and then get those pic's on the 'puter! SORRY if they are fuzzy pic's)
The best part (as I'm sure those of you who already have front-loading machines know) it provides hours of fun for your little one's!!! Elliot LOVES watching it, and was even trying to convince her friend to go sit and watch it with her the other day! HAHA I gotta admit, it is pretty fun to be able to watch your clothes get washed! Here's a side-by-side pic. for comparison. Doesn't it look like a totally new room?!?!
