We altered our existing IKEA wardrobes into storage in our new laundry room. The ceiling was too low to reuse our sliding doors (shame) so I got some new hinge doors instead and also had the carpenters cut a few centimeters off the bottom of the wardrobe compartments. Even after trimming the bottoms off we still have a short skirt at the base (yay - for structure and aesthetics!) and the new doors doors fit just fine. We also cut one of the compartments in half vertically to maximize our reuse. In addition to the modifications to the wardrobes we added a counter top over the washer and drier to make a folding surface, added uppers above and updated the slop sink. We of course reused all the interior components (shelves, drawers, hangers and dressers). I am very happy now. Being organized sure keeps the clutter and random mess in check!
The laundry room is now finished now so that I can clean it up and start unpacking into it. Yay!!!
Tomorrow we have an exterior door installed to enclose our outdoor storage space and as well, our new bed will be delivered. Oh and the internet and phone will be looked at as well since it's still not working. No TV either... Anyway... Oh yeah and tomorrow we get our new car! Yay! No more earrrrrly mornings with 3-trips-into-the-city-and-return days!!!
It's been ...busy.
