On Sunday, before the laundry room demolition began, Wren wanted to take everyone on one final tour of the old room.
Here is the view from the hallway, where the future shelves will hang above the dryer.
Coming in from the garage this is what used to greet us.
We are hoping to keep this room's budget under $1,100, not including appliances. We were actually forced to upgrade the appliances 1 week after Wren was born and the washer died. Thankfully it was a blessing in disguise because that was boxing day, so we scored this set at Best Buy for $800. Sean braved frigid temperatures at 5am to grab 1 of only 50 sets, but we haven't seen such a deal since so it was worth it!
This is our 1 and only light. It will be replaced by 6 pot lights to give us a nice bright spot to work.
Bye bye closet! I can't wait to see the hallway door from this door and get more natural light in here!
On Monday Sean ripped out all the cabinetry and dry wall on the closet. Here is what it looks like as of today:
We will be taking out the 2x4's today, and hopefully the tiles!
It always gets worse before it gets better, but wouldn't it be nice if it just got better???

Oh, I can't WAIT to see!! I love a before and after!
Ok really, who can pull off a clean looking demo other than you guys? lol! Wren is absolutely adorable in those pics!!
What a great big laundry room. Having your layout exactly as you want it will be wonderful, you are going to love it when it's done.
I know what you mean about it getting worse before it gets better. We just ripped up our master bath, and I can't wait till its done and pretty again!
What a sweet little happy face! I don't know how you get any work done with that one around! My favorite pic is the one of the dog trailing her. Lol.
I'm sure it will look amazing! Wren is adorable, this may just be the start of her modeling career :)
Oh I can't wait to see what you do. I've been wanting to redo my laundry room but don't know where to start. Good Luck with the reno!
I can't wait to see the afters. Is it pathetic that I would DIE for your old laundry room? I could swim in there its so big!!
I love it! Let the demolition begin! I just can't wait to see the finished project. It will be awesome!
We had those exact same grey 8x8 tiles in our front foyer! I was so happy to destroy them with a hammer!
Thanks for the tour Wren!! You are to cute!! I can't wait to see what your mommy and daddy do with the laundry room!! :O)
Kelly (and Madison):O)
Can't wait to see how it turns out
Wren is so stinkin' cute!!
Can't wait to see what you guys do with this room! I'm sure it will be fabulous :)
CANNOT wait for the finished product! Of course Wren looks ADORABLE! Love her Juicy sweats!
I can't wait to see the final result. Your house is so beautiful.
Love your laundry room already because of all that space and can't wait to see what you guys turn it into. We are in the middle of a laundry reno right now as well and I would love to see your ideas!
I can't wait to see your finished laundry room! What is it about a nice laundry room that excites a girl (is that pathetic?) How adorable is Wren too... she looks just as excited as I'm sure you are!
Wow, it is going to be awesome!!!
cool - can't wait to see the rest. Call me crazy, but I love seeing the work in progress pics that my blogging "friends" post - such great ideas to keep in mind for when I start these projects!
Your daughter is such a cutie :)
Good luck on the revamp!
Holly,
I can't wait to see the finished product!!!
I am always excited when I get a comment from YOU! Makes my day!
Okay the lens~I really don't know anything about cameras, My husband got me this camera for Christmas 3 years ago, because I love taking pictures, so I'll tell you it is a Canon EOS 40 & has the same lens that came with it. Which the numbers on the lens are 28-135 lens. I just move things around until I think the picture looks decent. (I am a little add with that) Terrible I know, the book that comes with it, has limited info, and I really want to take a class in photography, because I know I could be doing so much more with it. Hope this helps!
LOVE your blog!
Take Care,
Maria
Looking good Holly!! Do you care if I highlight your blog on my new building blog...www.busybuilderbrittany.blogspot.com? You are such inspiration for me!!
