Laundry Room Redo

Check it out!  We completely transformed our laundry room in one weekend -
and it cost less than $400.  I'm skipping all the way to the bank with all the money we saved. 

Here's a quick breakdown of what we did...
  1. Added a new-er dryer that was given to us from Rob's Aunt Donna
  2. Tore down the very old wire shelving and installed a new cabinet and drying rack
  3. Painted the walls and doors 
  4. Added new base boards
  5. Pulled up the 20 year old linoleum and layed new tile flooring
  6. Removed the old light fixture and replaced it with a new one
  7. Replaced all the light sockets
