Laundry Room

I took a few pics of my laundry room the other day and thought I would share

Its nothing special, but I am kinda loving it....lol

But just let me give you some back ground info in my house first.....

My house was built in the 1950's as an Executive Bunglow for some head guy of  a fish plant company here in this town.

My dad bought it in the late 70's as an income property and renovated it into 4 apartments (2 in the basement 2 on the main floor)

Then in the mid 80's (after my dad met my mom and I was born and we were living in Ottawa, ON and then Sheet Harbour, NS.....My dad is RCMP so we moved a bit) he built a 24 x 24 2 bedroom apartment second story addition on half of the house....which was to be used as their place to stay when home on vacation.

But because the apartments were in such great demand he ended up renting it out ( as apt #5), and also turning the garage into a 6th apartment.

So when we got this house from my parents it was a 6 apartment complex.

My parents lived on the main floor ( they converted the main floor back into the house it used to be) and we lived upstairs in the 2 bedroom apartment for a year while my parents were building their new house.

Since we took over the entire house almost 2 years ago and have done quite bit of work since.......

SO now that ur caught up on the history of the house......

The laundry room is part of the old garage (turned apartment #6).

The laundry room is small because its only a quarter of the old garage. The rest is a bathroom and one room (bachlor ) apartment. 

We plan on tearing down the wall that seperates the laundry room from the bathroom, removing the bathroom (to make my laudry room bigger) 

Then the the rest of the old garage/bach apt will be out new family room!!! 

Did ya get all that......or did I lose ya? haha

I know its a lot to take in......

anyway here is what my laundry room looks like now......

This old door I was given by my best friend....she lives in a house that is over 100 years old.....this door was in the basement when they bought the house. She was gonna throw it out until I told her I was looking for one!

This was a entry way down to the basement......I found a duvet cover at Value Village (14.99) and had my mom make it into a curtain. (The back side of it is black and cream checkers (or plaid) so i can switch it around for a different look!

I have the color "allspice" its a golden yellow (from Kent Building supplies)

picked out for wall color.....I want to find a few more "country" things such as a old fashion wash board.
