Happy Friday! It’s time to share my laundry room week 1 with you. Now week 1 was suppose to be amazing. I was going to wow you with getting my new counter top made and my new sink and faucet installed.
That is not what happened.
Countertops
Last week I shared that The Hubs would be making my new countertop out of my Dad’s barn wood.
The week started out so good!
We – The Hubs – planed and sanded the wood – which took about a day!
Then he glued the wood pieces together to form the top.
So what happened next?
IT RAINED.
Since we build in the drive way this was a huge set back.
Fabric
No problem, I figured there were plenty of things I could do while we were waiting for a dry driveway!
So I began looking for fabric.
I wanted one that worked with the existing wall color, but had other colors too.
One that would come in fairly fast once ordered.
I looked high and low and found a picture of this fabric and realized I already had a yard of it!!!!
Sewing is in my future.
The Faucet
I also pulled out the sink and faucet that I purchased almost 4 years ago.
You know, just to check everything out and make sure it was all in working order.
The sink was beautiful and I eagerly pulled out the faucet ( see picture) only to find that the faucet did not fit the sink.
At all!
Time to go shopping.
I was looking for a new chrome one when I came across this one.
It matches the door handles and my floor in color.
Plus, the tall spout was much better than the old chrome one that I had purchased before.
Love!
So I ordered it and it will be in a day!
Laundry Basket hangers
Next, I decided to tackle something that has been driving me crazy for awhile.
I needed somewhere to hang my laundry basket.
However, all my wall space is take up.
Then I found these magnetic hooks.
Game changer!
I put them on the side of my dryer and it works perfectly there!
Side note: I did have to enlarge the holes in the side of the basket to allow it to hang properly.
It was a simple fix, just drew out the cut line, then using an exact knife, I cut it out.
Super easy, looks good and it solves a huge problem!
So my new time line to replace this countertop and sink?
Well, if it doesn’t rain again this week, hopefully this weekend.
Even though laundry room week 1 didn’t have the wow factor that I had hoped for, I’m still pumped and working hard for week 2.
Now I’m heading over to Terrie’s to see what she got done in week 1, I hope that you will join me.
