almost ~

Just popping in for a quick minute!  We have been busy working on our laundry / mud room transformation.  The walls are painted in light grey called Nimbus Cloud (Martha Stewart at Home Depot).  We have no windows in the space and get ZERO natural light, so this light grey really seems to help lighten the space.  We also completed the bench!

I gave it three coats of primer to cover up that original black finish and then 2 coats of nice bright white paint.  I was unable to locate the perfect grey and white quatrefoil fabric, so I opted for black and white, which I lucked out and found at Hobby Lobby and was able to use my 40% off coupon.

Here is the ugly BEFORE:

Woo Wee baby, that is baaaaaaad!  Almost surprised I purchased it looking that that!  

Today we are focused on hanging these:

Lack series floating shelves from IKEA.  We have three....not sure if we'll be using all three or not.  Planning to hang them in a staggered fashion above our washer and dryer to create an elongated look to that wall.  Nervous about this........I hope it turns out as I'm seeing it in my head!!

Well, that's all for now!  Going to get back to work!
