Laundry Room

New appliances are an excitement.  It still means chores, but provides for a more user friendly fixture.  It also sometimes gets you in the spirit to actually accomplish those tasks in a somewhat enjoyable manner.  I recently purchased a new washer and dryer.  This meant that I could finally get rid of the ancient set that caused me frustrations.  It also meant that I had a lot of work to complete before the new set arrived.

First, I needed to get rid of the old set.  Fortunately I had a friend who needed them.  Task one completed.  Then I decided that since the old set was gone, that I should finish the floor and wall, and give the laundry/pantry room a complete deep clean.  So, hauled everything out, clear finished the floor and walls. 

Here is a "before".  Notice the unfinished walls and floor.

Here is an overall view of the Pantry/Laundry Room. (Left and lower) And on the right is a better photo of the new wall.  This is birch and mahogany plywood, cut in strips.  Thanks to the lumber company for cutting it... 

The stripes are made from some leftover paint I had lying around the house.  I think they bring a little bit of cheer into an otherwise dark gloomy space. 

If anyone is curious as to whether or not Samsung's Vibration Reduction Technology works, I can positively tell you it is great!  This set is quiet and does NOT shake my whole entire house when the washer is spinning.  They're easy to use, and aesthetically much more pleasing than the old set.
