I wish I would have gotten pictures of our laundry room before the contruction began however I didn't so these is will have to be the start pictures. Our laundry room downstairs is HUGE! It is pretty much the size of our entire kitchen upstairs. MUCH larger than a laundry room really needs to be. I had great plans for this room. I was going to make it in to an awesome room with laundry bins and a folding table etc etc. However, it was not to be. It is now officially going to be our "scouring room." I am sure you are asking "what in the world is a scouring room?" Well, a little back ground is needed first. We have come to realize that opening a catering trailer is A LOT of work! You have to cut through a lot of red tape to get it going legally. The health department requires so much of you to be licensed to sell food. These requirements are nearly impossible to meet in a small catering trailer due to the space limitations. We realized that we would need a separate area where we could wash dishes and store other items in order to be compliant with the health department. Our choices were either block off a portion of our garage or make the laundry room our scouring room. The laundry room was the cheaper option. I am very thankful to have a very handy husband because he will do most of the work himself saving us a lot of money. We will be moving the laundry to a large closet in the basement which will work just fine as a laundry room. It won't be the dream of a laundry room that I had imagined but it will do it's job. I am willing to sacrifice my dream laundry room for my husband's future amazingly successful business. After all, it is just laundry. Who wants to spend enormous amounts of time in a room used for doing the annoying task of laundry!
Jamie is taking out the wall next to the stairs so that we have more space. He will have to support the ceiling more before he removes the studs but it will be nice in the end. Underneath the stairs at the end he plans on making two tiny rooms meant for his salume making. It will be really nice because currently my home smells like salume culture(which isn't always the most pleasant smell)
Jamie pulled out some big cupboards along this wall. Eventually large sinks will go here.
We pulled off the ugly linolium from the floors and walls and will eventually put plastic up to keep it clean.
Thankfully we already had a drain here. We decided to make it our mop sink and have all of the other sinks indirectly drain into this one drain.
Here is the after photo for the mop sink. It will eventually be tiled.
