Last post I mentioned we painted the house. Here are the pictures of our proof:)

Since we live in one of those wonderful we run your life HOA communities, we only had 3 different paint options to choose from. The one we choose had the most drastic light and dark contrasts. It looks better in person. I need to throw some colorful flowers in the pots to brighten the place up. That nappy tree will be a goner soon too!
I should have figured that painting the house would lead into some more projects, because it did. When we get going we sure do now how to catch the DIY bug.
One fine day (last week) Casey brought home some cabinets off a job that the owners were going to junk. Off the subject, I have scored some pretty good things from jobs Casey has done. A huge shelf that is now in Lanes room, a jogging stroller, anywho, it's like Christmas when he does. So he pulls up with the cabinets and we instantly knew where they were going to be put.
I have always had partial feelings to my laundry room. I have never loved it or hated it. It was just the laundry room, nothing special. I am always looking for more storage space and we have pretty much maxed out every room in the house except that one. So that very day our laundry room got an exciting makeover. It was kind of fun doing it spur of the moment and not really knowing what I wanted and to just go with the flow. I really like how it turned out and of course wish we had done it years ago!

Choosing the cabinet color was the hardest part. I couldn't decide if i wanted cream cupboards with a brown glaze and paint the walls a fun bright color or going bold with the cupboards and having neutral walls. My inspiration finally came from a purse at Junky Trunk! You better believe I went straight to Home Depot for paint samples then back to the store to match the purse. The cute girl that worked there was hilarious. She had the purse and samples out by the window holding it up to the light to try and see which samples matched best. I was grateful for her help. I always doubt myself. I also really like the handles from Hobby Lobby.
It's amazing what a little TLC can do. I need to go get some Cheer laundry detergent because cheers to having more storage space!!
