laundry room renovation
We finished the laundry room probably two months ago now, but only recently got around to the door project we were going back and forth on. We decided to go ahead with it, and I am so glad we did. I am loving the new look. It's actually hard to believe this is the same room since we changed so much! Here are some before and after shots:
panoramic pics from my cell phone, a bit distorted but the only way to show the whole width of the room:
In case you are wondering - yes that is a tension shower rod stretched sideways across the room in the "before" photos. My solution to a temporary hanging space. And yes it did fall down at least once a week because we were constantly hanging too much on it...
This started as a simpler house project than it ended up (doesn't it always?!) Originally, we were just going to add in a counter top, base cabinet, sink, upper cabinets with hanging bar, and tile backsplash. We were also planning to paint - gold walls just ain't my bag, baby. We never intended to move plumbing and replace the tile floor, but you know - snowball effect... So basically we gutted the entire room and started fresh. We had replaced the washer and dryer when we moved in last year, so that was the only thing we didn't need to change out.
Remember all those kitchen cabinets we took down when we added in open kitchen shelving a few months back? Well, we were able to re-purpose all of them - two here in the laundry room and the rest are now extra storage space in the garage. The base cabinet was one we bought as a clearanced floor model at Lowe's. It was a lovely rustic brown color before, but I wanted it to match the upper cabinets so we decided to paint it. We also added extra wood to the top to make it the right height to support the sink and counter top. Here is a picture of it mid-project:
And completed:
We sanded, primed, and painted it to match the upper cabinets. We also removed the thermafoil covering from the upper cabinet doors, and gave them a fresh coat of paint so everything was the same color white. Added on some new hardware and that part was done! The counter top was built by Erik out of wooden planks. I think they were 1x6 boards. He used a jig to drill the holes (I have always wanted a jig so I was super excited about that purchase - yes, I realize my dork-factor here) and then glued and clamped the boards for extra strength. He then sanded, stained, and sealed (like eight times!) the top for durability. Once we decided on a sink, he cut a hole to drop it in. Here he is working on the counter top:
Like I mentioned, we had no intention on ever having to move any plumbing for this project. However, once we took out the washer, dryer, and sink, I was standing outside the door eyeing the project (dangerous territory - this is how it always starts) and I said "wouldn't it be nice if the washer and dryer were next to each other for laundry purpouses but also to give us a bigger folding area?" And Erik, after thinking about it for a day, decided he thought it was possible. "Just let me cut a little hole in the wall to look at the plumbing..." and the next thing I knew the room looked like this:
Ha! Erik worked quickly to put it back together and moving the plumbing ended up not being as big of an deal as we thought it might. Once everything was plumbed and patched up he moved onto flooring. We had also initially not intended on replacing the tile as the room already had tile and it was "okay" looking. But on one of our Lowe's runs while shopping for wall tile we came across the same wood plank looking tile we had used at our old house and we both stood there lovingly petting it (yea, that's what we do in home improvement stores.) We literally looked at each other and Erik, with a big sigh said "okay, just put it in the cart." So, that began this part of the project:
We knew we would be happy with the results once all the hard work was done, but honestly I now think we would really have regretted not changing out the flooring. The old tile, while being "okay," really wouldn't have fit with the rest of the renovation. So, once the tile was done, I came in for the wall prep and paint. Being a small room I was able to knock that out pretty quickly. I choose a slightly off-white color called Dove White, as I wanted to keep the space light and bright, and I knew the tile we had picked out would add enough color to the room. Once the walls were painted, Erik took back over with the project - installing the upper cabinets and glass tile backsplash. Actually I think before we got there the machines had to be moved back in, we were at that point well past a week without doing laundry and things were really starting to pile up! After the tile was done, the base cabinet, counter top, sink, and faucet were installed and the plumbing was hooked up. I came back in for the finishing touches - a new ceiling light, switch plate covers (we had to move some electrical and I had Erik add in an extra outlet near the pull-down ironing board) and organizing all those laundry supplies into the new cabinets. I can't say I miss that old, peeling shelf that was there when we moved in:
Lastly, we gave the door a makeover. I found a similar door on Pinterest and couldn't get it out of my head how cute it would look on our new laundry room. So, like the good husband that he is, Erik took over this project and did his best to recreate my Pinterest find. I think he did an amazing job!
Using the existing door, he cut out the top four panels. He then installed thin wood fillers to make something of a "box" inside the door, since it is a hollow-core type door. We had existing plexiglass leftover from the kitchen project, which he cut to fit the hole. Up until this point the project was free as we were able to reuse materials we already had on hand! On the back of the door, he used a roll-on style window frosting we found at Lowe's and then installed the glass. A thin piece of trim was added to both sides to hold the glass in place, and then he gave the whole door a fresh coat of paint. After it was installed and the hardware replaced, we were able to add the last (and my favorite) part - the decal sign. I found it on Etsy and it ended up being just the right thing to finish off this project.
And because I can't post without including Arlo...
And one last thing. If you ever visited our old house and are thinking that the new laundry room looks really familiar, it's because you have pretty much seen it before. We loved our last laundry area so much we literally copied everything we could about it. From the white cabinets to the dark counter top and tile floor, to the same exact paint color and very similar tile back splash, we tried to recreate that space again in this house. What can I say, when you find something you like so much why try and switch it up? Here is the laundry room we renovated at our last house:
And that's all, folks! Thanks for coming along on the laundry room tour. With baby #2 expected to arrive any day now, there are no other big projects on the horizon. But then again, that's been said before...

We also found a really cool sink specifically made for laundry rooms that has a built-in washboard:

9 months
Whew, final pregnancy update. Yay! And I am ready. We are ready. The house is ready. Baby 2.0, let's do this!
How am I feeling you ask? Pregnant. Quite pregnant. Also, it's confirmed - I have zero immune system when I am preggo. A few weeks ago (in the middle of the hottest weather ever, no joke - I think we hit some records or something) I contracted a nasty summer cold. How's that for irony? And it stuck around for a week or so and started to go away but then BAM, turned into a painful sinus infection just like that. I have had two sinus infections in my whole life that I can remember and both have been during this pregnancy. I had no idea they could make your face (eyes, head, nose, teeth) hurt so bad. Anyway, even though I just said how ready we are for baby, I am really hoping to be 100% recovered before he/she actually arrives. I think I am on the upswing finally but would like another week or so to recover. I was so sick when Arlo was born and it did not make for a fun recovery period those first few weeks...
I am totally eating my words from my last update when I said I hadn't been bothered by the heat. Ha! Shortly after I posted that we had something like 10 straight days of temps in the high 90's with most days having a heat index of 105-109 degrees. I know that I would have been miserable in those temps had I not been pregnant for them, but add in the fact that I was nearly 9 months along and the discomfort was taken to a new level. We stayed inside as much as possible, but when I did have to leave the house I felt sick almost immediately, nauseated and exhausted. This is around the time I also started noticing mild swelling in my feet and ankles, pretty much just on my work days but I also blame the heat. I have been wearing compression socks to work which keep the swelling down and as a bonus have also helped me reach a new level of sexiness. Fortunately, the temps have cooled down a little and we have been able to spend some time outside in the mornings and evenings when it's not the heat of the day.
Not too many other new symptoms to report. I feel like in the last few days baby might have dropped a bit. My belly looks like it's sitting a bit lower and I have had some random sharp groin pains here and there which kind of feel like round ligament pain but a little more intense. Some pelvic pressure too. Walking normally is a thing of the past, it's a full-on waddle now and has been for weeks. Contractions have decreased in frequency over the past month or so considering I was having so many for most of this pregnancy, but when I do have them now they are much stronger than before. I really have zero feeling that labor is coming anytime soon, it just doesn't feel like baby is quite ready to come out yet, and that's okay with me. Come when you are ready little babe (and when mama is feeling better, please!)
I had to miss my 37 week appointment this week due to sickness but the midwives were okay with me coming in next week instead since I have been measuring on track and they don't have any concerns right now. At 34 weeks my weight had gone up 3 lbs for a total of 20, and less than three weeks later at 36+4 it was up another 3 lbs! I think some of that was water weight though since it was a work day and I had already noticed some swelling in my ankles when I arrived at my appointment. Belly has measured right on track every time though, and unfortunately this stubborn kid is also still hanging out OP (sunny side up.) So besides doing some light exercises to try and turn him/her and sitting on the birth ball a lot, I have also been mentally preparing myself for a long and intense labor which is typically the case with babies in this position. And I have gone from being worried that the baby is going to be born in the car to being worried that the baby is going to take 40 hours to come out. There is a chance that baby could turn during labor and of course I am hopeful that is what is going to happen, but my motto this pregnancy has been expect the worst and hope for the best, so that's what I am doing. Sometimes there is a reason that a baby picks the position that they grow in depending on factors happening on the inside so I am trying to keep in mind that this might be the healthiest position for baby right now. I also think this baby is going to be bigger than Arlo, if I had to predict I would say somewhere around 7 lbs. Arlo was 6lb 3 oz and while I feel like my belly is around the same size this time around, this baby just somehow feels larger. But maybe it's just the OP position?? We will find out soon enough I suppose.
Ok, so we still haven't officially decided on a boys name. We have had our girls name for a couple of months now. Somehow that one felt relatively easy to choose, and Erik picked out the middle name which is lovely. I have a boy name in mind but Erik isn't completely on board yet. We have a few other contenders on the list but nothing has jumped out at us like Arlo's name did. The past few weeks I have been thinking so hard about boy's names that I have started to wonder if random words are names. Can we name our kid Tree? Honda? Lamp?? Now I am just rolling with it. If it's a boy we will figure it out when he's born. Maybe when we see him the name will come to us. I never thought I would have this attitude but spending hours upon hours reading through lists of boys names hasn't proven successful so this is what I have come up with as my alternative plan. We do have a boys middle name picked out (well technically we have two family names in mind and will use the one that fits best with the first name we choose) so at least that part is figured out.
Since my last update, the crazy-pregnant-lady nesting behaviors havecontinued gotten worse. Our pantry is so stocked with food it literally falls off the shelves if I am not careful. The freezer has been completely cleaned and restocked with food for when the baby comes. I have typed everything that I bought in a neat list organized by meal type for Erik so it's easy for him to make our meals the first few weeks. OCD, why yes I am. We had our foyer, stairway, upstairs hall, and master bedroom painted (good riddens gold hallway and puke-colored master bedroom walls!!) I wanted to do part of the painting but was obviously too pregnant by this point in the game so we decided to hire someone, and I was so glad I did. As much as I love painting having someone else do all the prep, edging, rolling, and clean-up while I sat on my butt with my feet up was pretty much the best thing ever. Erik also rented a carpet shampooer and cleaned all the rugs and carpets in the entire house. The nursery is 98% done. I have been crafting like crazy sewing baby things but also making/buying things to hang on the wall because you know it's going to be really important for the baby to come home to a fully decorated house, right?! ;) All in all, the house is feeling so much cleaner, cozier, and more of our style than it did before.
Arlo knows that baby is coming soon and is very excited about it. When he sees me rub my belly he asks if baby is awake or asleep and when baby is awake he wants to feel him/her move. This pregnancy surely hasn't been the blissful, easy one I had with Arlo, and when I think about doing it again I can't say I get too excited about it. But when Arlo is so sweet with my belly everything else is kind of forgotten and I think - "yea, I want this again!" We've always talked like we would have three kids but are definitely not set on that idea and we really need to see what life looks like with two before we make that decision. If we do decide for a third there will likely be a bigger age gap before that one comes along. Three-ish years would be ideal I think. Arlo would be in kindergarten and 2.0 would hopefully be as independent as Arlo is now - potty trained, sleeping in a big kids bed, able to feed themselves, etc. That being said, if we only have two I would feel so incredibly lucky and really, really fortunate. I already feel that way when I think about how much I love Arlo and what a cool kid he is, and how we get to have another one soon. So, maybe a third is part of our future, maybe not, time will only tell.
And some final thoughts... I am really excited we have chosen to find out the gender at birth. And while it was pretty easy not to know initially, I am SO ready to find out who this little person is! My patients at work are always trying to guess the gender and some people tell me they can tell for sure based on whichever old wives tale they decide to use, ha! Old men almost always tell me it's a girl. It's pretty much a 50/50 mix from everyone else. I have loved hearing everyone's guesses and it really has been fun not knowing. The vast majority of women my age tell me there is no way they could go the whole pregnancy not knowing. And some people (again, typically the elderly folks) get really excited when I told them we chose not to find out. Arlo has pretty consistently said that he is getting a sister. Erik is guessing boy. I am still undecided. I said girl a few months back purely based on symptoms but now I am not sure. When I was decorating the nursery I hung up the baby's ultrasound picture and think it looks exactly like Arlo. In my mind this baby is going to pop out a little Arlo but I guess because that's all I know. I can't wait to see!
From here on out, there's not much to be done besides wait for baby. We are meeting our postpartum doula this weekend (yay!) My next midwife appointment is on Monday. I think yesterday might have been my last day of work (sniff, sniff) but not being good at good-byes I haven't committed to a last day yet. I told my manager I might show up on Monday for a partial shift after my appointment, and if I am magically feeling way better than I actually might, but there's a good chance I will instead use the day to take Arlo out to lunch or to park and just enjoy these last few days/weeks of him being my only little one.
Come when you are ready baby, cause we are ready for you!! : D
Next baby related update will hopefully be a birth announcement, eek!! (but I also have some house and craft posts in the works so depending on timing those might come first!)
