Laundry Room....almost finished!

We purchased a three panel room divider to help hind our hideous water heater and furnace.  When we removed the door in between the kitchen and laundry room, our view from where our kitchen table will be looks awful.  We thought this might make it look a little better.

Before...

After...you can still see a little on top but at least most of it is hidden.

Here is one side of the laundry room so far.

Here is the other side...

We still need shelves above the washer and dryer, doormat, bamboo curtains to hide the shelves (again another idea from thisyounghouse) and paint the trim around the door frame where we removed the door.  We are almost there...

Washer and Dryer

I am extremely excited about the laundry room!  It is looking great.  Our first big purchase for the house was a new washer and dryer (YAY...haha).  We purchased them at Lowes.  They were the last in stock and Drake was able to talk them down on price because of a small dent in the back that you can barely see.

We decided against the pedestals because Drake saw on thisyounghouse (my new favorite blog) they used the top as a place to fold clothes.  Since I am a little short, if we put pedestals on the bottom I wouldn't be able to reach :) So Drake bought a piece of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and cut it so it would fit the top and go against the wall.  After we went to Michael's and bought a piece of fabric to cover the MDF.

I know it has the sage green color but I thought since the laundry room flows into the kitchen, it would look better.  I am trying to stay away from sage green since I seem to be using it a lot.  It does have a little white design on it.
