Laundry Room Redo

post from Suburban Spunk on 24 August 2011 11:34:22 PM. © Suburban Spunk

One of the things that sold me on my current house is the bedroom-level laundry room. Coming from my first house, a side-split built in 1977 with the laundry space in the basement which meant climbing three sets of stairs, I was ecstatic to find a laundry room on the second floor in my 2nd house. No more running up and down stairs=easier laundry time.

However, the room was so plain and had do natural light. It was pretty deary, even in the middle of the day.
*I realize my dryer looks tiny in this pic. I picked up the brand new dryer for $100 at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore but it was a euro-size, which means WAY smaller than standard. It works and was a great deal, so it stays for now. I plan to sell on Craigslist and buy the matching dryer in the next month or two.

I love the turquoise color and used this as inspiration for my walls. It just brightens up the space and has a clean, serene feel. via Design Sponge/my Pinterest

I adore the hooks Bryn added to her laundry room, perfect for my delicate clothes that I allow to air dry. via BrynAlexandra/my Pinterest
?I chose Glidden eggshell paint, color matched to Behr's 'Pensive Sky', the middle color.
It's a gorgeous blend of pale green/blue/gray.

Much better!
The nest step was to conceal the detergent/iron/dryer sheets etc on the shelf. Because custom cabinets are not in the budget, I knew a fabric curtain was the most affordable option. I picked up some fabric at Joanne's ($10.99/yd x 40% off) that went with the pale blue/green color scheme I wanted to go with.
I used the no-iron hem tape (my new BFF) and purchased a tension rod at Bed Bath & Beyond to hang the new curtain.

The third stage was figuring out a counter top option. Because I needed to finish this room on a budget, I needed to find a cheap solution to the 74'' wide counter top. We browsed the plywood section at Home Depot and purchased a large pre-sanded 3/4'' thick sheet. For extra stability, I grabbed handrail trim to use for legs. We went with the round handrail trim because it could be cut to any height and was very affordable. After considering several options, including stain, paint the same as wall color, paint a bold color etc. I ended up deciding to go with a pale green color that compliments the wall color and fabric.

I used Glidden's Frosted Green Grape in semi-gloss for added durability.
I also added a $20 cabinet from Target to sit in between the washer and dryer, which hides our trash can:)
Here's a close up and better representation of the wall and counter color:

BMW 1 Series Modification

post from Car Enthusiast: Car Modification | DIY | 2ZZGE,4AGE,4G93T,JBJL,4G13,4G15 on 24 August 2011 09:34:50 PM. © Car Enthusiast: Car Modification | DIY | 2ZZGE,4AGE,4G93T,JBJL,4G13,4G15

The 1 Series was launched globally in Autumn 2004 and shares many structural, chassis, powertrain, hardware and electronic elements with the larger 3 Series. The model was started to provide a lower point of entry into the BMW range as the 3 Series moved gradually up-market. The 1 Series coupe (E82) and convertible (E88) went on sale in the United States and Canada in model year 2008 (30 June 2007)[1] as the 128i and the 135i. Other countries received the 120i and 125i in both platforms.
Even though the look of BMW 1 Series is already look nice and sporty but modifying bug does strike the owner of this BMW 1 Series. The owner of this BMW 1 Series modify his BMW 1 Series exterior to something special and unique where the easiest noticed parts are he sprayed the front headlamp and rear lamp with white color and a extremely big spoiler.
To be honest, if the spoiler comes in smaller one the car will be perfect. By the way, I wonder will the car against the law enforcement where both the front and rear lamp already sprayed to white. Anyway guys, enjoy the pictures.

Synthesists Tara Busch dares you to remix her album. Photo courtesy the artist. It barely seems as though it’s been that long, but synthesis pioneer Robert Moog died six years ago this week. That has brought a whole new wave of remembrances, including a great new EP you can remix. And if you still don’t … Continue →
