Sneak Preview: Laundry Room (and other miscellaneous incomplete improvements)

I'll eventually post complete "afters" I guess you'd call them...just nothing feels done at all right now... in the meantime, see below.

This is our kitchen right this minute:



And what used to be there:



WHEW! We're getting so close! Hopefully after this week I can show you the AFTER!

Here's a sneak peek of the laundry room, with the monsters in their new home (not "fixed" or done yet, per se, but in total working order):



(washer and dryer are now stacked.)

New vestibule floor, inside carport door:



Rug I've been whining over acquiring:



IN LOVE WITH IT! It totally changes our den for the [much] better.

Speaking of den...bamboo shades hung (curtains to follow):



And an adorable owl mug. $2 to the first person who can guess where it came from (Marth and Mom, you can't play).




There you have it. Labor Day weekend in a nutshell, spent with Husband studying and Leslie straightening and cleaning up (with very gracious help from fam).

Hope you all had a wonderful long weekend too, wherever you are!
