We used the long weekend to get caught up on the many house projects, this enclosure being one, at the top of the list! I didn't like the washer and dryer being exposed to the dining room so once the new entryway to the library was finished, we enclosed this doorway with a great find from our local Restore (Habitat for Humanity) and I love the outcome. Now I have a private laundry room for just $10!
We've been donating and shopping at our Restore, such a good way to help out and trim your budget too! The library is done, just full of boxes from the kids playroom. I got it painted on Monday and am in the process of finding curtains, rearranging and making the space kid friendly. We've taken the door off, with the new carpet it was too hard to open or shut so I'm looking for a cheap alternative? Any ideas? I was thinking about buying a wood screen door and altering it somehow? The old door maybe used as a chalkboard for the kids, with plenty of room for all four of them!
It's still raining here, we've gotten 6 inches so far but fall is near, a chill is in the air, and have spotted some sumac turning red already. I'm anxious for the new season, less the rain.....
Neat idea! We don't have the Habitat for Humanity around here, sure wish we did I'd be there often:)

Great! I don't know if we have a Habitat store in my area, but I am going to find out.
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to cross those projects off your list!
I am wishing you a sunshiney day to come real soon! :)
The door looks nice on the laundry room.My hubby has been working on finishing our kitchen ! I cant wait!
ReplyDeleteUnless you knew what was there, you wouldn't know what was there. That is a great idea and looks lovely. Sue, you've got the decorating flair girl. I just love your ideas and hope to incorporate some of them in my own little apartment. Thanks for sharing. xxoo

Love the pics Sue!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteThe old altered wooden screen door idea sounds cute there....or you can always hang up a cute curtain that hangs close the floor with a place to hook it off to the side when you want it open. Best of luck to you! xoxo
