Laundry Room Project

I really intended to update my blog more regularly, but can't seem to make it a high priority. How do you all find time to do this? I can't keep up with anything in my life...laundry, housework, grocery shopping, kids' homework and activities, my church calling, etc. All my free time lately has gone to working on my laundry/craft room. My husband framed and wired it and we put sheetrock up like 6 years ago and there it sat. I'm happy to say that after the past few months I am done mudding and sanding and sanding and sanding and sanding and painting. We had a good friend, Jeff, help us tile and after some creative cutting and piecework for the downward slope to the drain, it is done. Not what I had in mind, but definately a unique piece of art. I'm working on door frames and refinishing some cabinets now and hope to get all the stuff out of my basement family room shortly. I'll add photos when we're done.
