The Other Side of the New Painted Room (Sideboard, Pantry, Back Hall)

And today I thought I would share the other side of the room (except for the kitchen cabinets because I just finished painting them this weekend and haven't put all of the pulls/handles back on the cabinet doors yet).<br /><br />I also finally painted the inside of the pantry. I skipped over it when we first moved in but it felt so good to freshen it up in there. The walls were a scratched up mess. I would imagine it had been years and years since they had been painted. I actually have another fun little plan for in here that I am hoping to get to in the next few weeks. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_jlqE9tEhRWkytO57eNC3OgMyfMjWjE3XqktDiiqJAduQLKQyRMPRJjI8tZIeClUbxbemV3m-GQM8jJzZOgjvI8isZoS9Ktkn7xnmMwIV5yWw9TCPOLY6_AVxntYUhPnTL-zvc4rHD28R/s1600/uDSC_4347.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_jlqE9tEhRWkytO57eNC3OgMyfMjWjE3XqktDiiqJAduQLKQyRMPRJjI8tZIeClUbxbemV3m-GQM8jJzZOgjvI8isZoS9Ktkn7xnmMwIV5yWw9TCPOLY6_AVxntYUhPnTL-zvc4rHD28R/s1600/uDSC_4347.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />There's probably close to a foot to both the right and left side of the doors in the pantry so I keep some of the not as visually appealing items that we don't use on a day to day basis stored there. The girls practically never close these doors so it's nice having it look organized seeing how it's pretty much the first thing you see when you enter our house the back way which pretty much everyone does. And because we keep alot of our dishes stored in our sideboard and the rolling cart in our dining room we also keep most of our baking things and some of our other food items in our cupboards. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPjca6u0oRrsaHigWyMy-yAksmBvvFbZAeCKZAsAJv2WHS_fgXK4JhG3uP31PLrG1VzwscP0Gvoe0pFDcaedXNuilgesnWHgWNSjWIl9ouLsNScG9tDkoTmw3zWu5J7cic-MSbJxT5sg0V/s1600/uDSC_4394.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPjca6u0oRrsaHigWyMy-yAksmBvvFbZAeCKZAsAJv2WHS_fgXK4JhG3uP31PLrG1VzwscP0Gvoe0pFDcaedXNuilgesnWHgWNSjWIl9ouLsNScG9tDkoTmw3zWu5J7cic-MSbJxT5sg0V/s1600/uDSC_4394.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpr6KUDgZXq9nWQFXHupfJ-sLd1uMSWgvy6X9nTrMUwXf4wn-_wHd4R16neo4oqip6WreZdemf4QGJQhJGqSjgk2fTla7A933I0fo6hCY5eezO6EMcb-V1SdWUY7AQeYLZ4aZu7s0ChMCF/s1600/uDSC_4343.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpr6KUDgZXq9nWQFXHupfJ-sLd1uMSWgvy6X9nTrMUwXf4wn-_wHd4R16neo4oqip6WreZdemf4QGJQhJGqSjgk2fTla7A933I0fo6hCY5eezO6EMcb-V1SdWUY7AQeYLZ4aZu7s0ChMCF/s1600/uDSC_4343.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />I should have taken these photos AFTER a trip to the store.

All I have left to do is add photos going up the stairs (which I still haven't decided exactly the look I want) and then it will be done. We added this narrow cabinet at the top of the stairs. It adds a little more storage to the space. And then I used this mirror that I kind of "borrowed" from my parent's a few years ago. It's been in our study above the fireplace but now that I've added a new piece of art in there (I'll have photos of that next week) it worked nicely moving it up here. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Entryway, Laundry Room, Back Hall and Playroom Updating

Anyway, I thought I would do a quick post covering some of the more boring projects that I have been working on and then I can get back to some more fun posts including the progress we've made at Jason's house including his kitchen, living room and dining room and also lots and lots of photos from my niece Everly's first birthday party! And then seeing how I am just about done with painting (I got more than half of the playroom painted last night and am hoping to finish it up today and then can hopefully attack the doors tomorrow) then I should be able to FINALLY get started on some fun projects here back at home!<br /><br />So, anyway, today I thought I would show you a little round-up of some things including the artwork we added to the entryway, the progress we've made in our laundry room and the progress we've made in our back hallway.<br /><br />Here is a little reminder of what our entryway looked like when we first moved in:<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRRWl9z9R-zg4WgcnuDRVZUvdhFjYlrcmrK__mjOS0BS2RXR1xdSPUKTz-6H3Lka1597ho3WfhMZkMLiy9NA6JoQFmbxfnii5ZzTShtmqp2n3CKQQ8aJkeZzgdKREfetrwLRE2z8Ej_9k/s1600/jbbeforeafterhall2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRRWl9z9R-zg4WgcnuDRVZUvdhFjYlrcmrK__mjOS0BS2RXR1xdSPUKTz-6H3Lka1597ho3WfhMZkMLiy9NA6JoQFmbxfnii5ZzTShtmqp2n3CKQQ8aJkeZzgdKREfetrwLRE2z8Ej_9k/s1600/jbbeforeafterhall2.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />I saw this canvas at HomeGoods several months ago and snatched it up because I knew the colors would work well in our home. I actually originally planned on putting it in our master bedroom but ended up moving it down here a month or two ago and I ended really liking how it looked. And so now, except for the wall going up the stairs (which you can see in this picture) the entryway is pretty much done!

It was the one room I wasn't sure what I was going to do in. Most of the rooms when we moved in just needed lots and lots of painting. The bathrooms, laundry room and kitchen though all needed quite a bit more work. We chose to the <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2013/10/an-oversized-chalkboard-and-bench-in.html">the kitchen</a> in two parts (we painted everything and replaced all the appliances right away and then soon will be doing part two which includes the counters, sink and backsplash). We did the <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2013/10/progress-in-our-powder-room-before-and.html">downstairs bath</a> shortly after moving in and are working on the <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/progress-in-our-upstairs-hall-bathroom.html">upstairs hall bath</a> right now. That left us with two other indoor projects that involved some remodeling - the master bathroom and the laundry room. Seeing how I would rather do the master bathroom first and it may be a while before we have saved up for that project that meant the laundry room projects could be quite a ways off. Because of that I decided to at least spruce it up a bit in here temporarily until we eventually can properly replace the floors and add a nice countertop.<br /><br />Here is what it looked like on move-in day. There was a lovely wallpaper border with a clothesline on it in case you weren't sure it was a laundry room. =) <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIbxrzBU3ciJCvFm-B0NwRVSw5nOaughDLbBubcAwbAdGorRJC_ocI_bI5jxd-uM0xEJgnmAP3YMLYlRm4zdcG2RrcOsibvQ0Ngt258tdEpUdJhZo9OH266C9XkszfdiFo24I3xr0alGA/s1600/bdownlaundryIMG_2339.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIbxrzBU3ciJCvFm-B0NwRVSw5nOaughDLbBubcAwbAdGorRJC_ocI_bI5jxd-uM0xEJgnmAP3YMLYlRm4zdcG2RrcOsibvQ0Ngt258tdEpUdJhZo9OH266C9XkszfdiFo24I3xr0alGA/s1600/bdownlaundryIMG_2339.png" width="436" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Here it is mid-way through.

Eventually I'd like to do the same floor we did in <a href="http://dearlillieblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/progress-in-our-upstairs-hall-bathroom.html">our upstairs bathroom</a> that I showed yesterday but seeing how this only cost about $35 it was a nice inexpensive improvement for now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nbpiRxzRamjDqwqFGPcuxBZDrPJd4emEvhfRy-i8yNnsWriaNGejFHZAfetYDT_5Mf1GW6aTodMPUccztNvdA_zhKE2c_nF0AhLaR63UGW5iKc-BQOtLquQ_1EymhnRHvgLI_U11s7c/s1600/jIMG_5043.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nbpiRxzRamjDqwqFGPcuxBZDrPJd4emEvhfRy-i8yNnsWriaNGejFHZAfetYDT_5Mf1GW6aTodMPUccztNvdA_zhKE2c_nF0AhLaR63UGW5iKc-BQOtLquQ_1EymhnRHvgLI_U11s7c/s1600/jIMG_5043.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />I painted the door, trim and cabinets in London Fog which was leftover from our kitchen and then painted the walls in White Dove which was leftover from the upstairs bathroom. I would have preferred to use Simply White but I didn't have any of that in the right finish and I was trying to keep the cost on this project as low as possible so just went with the White Dove seeing how that was free.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgolTfNTkmRPkfhseRiT4DKYLg4rdCE4GrGAublW5xg32cK9EPdzIIrAvgG2YBHpYMM1IcrPRgGZmr32e3IfXaHXVK3N8fzBsX1cZLnuJPi2uqb7N3baxl5RtXEhb6hmio_nZYrjYpCn7M/s1600/jIMG_5048.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgolTfNTkmRPkfhseRiT4DKYLg4rdCE4GrGAublW5xg32cK9EPdzIIrAvgG2YBHpYMM1IcrPRgGZmr32e3IfXaHXVK3N8fzBsX1cZLnuJPi2uqb7N3baxl5RtXEhb6hmio_nZYrjYpCn7M/s1600/jIMG_5048.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />Then I got a huge piece of plywood to act as a countertop for above our washer and dryer. Eventually I'd like to replace it with a proper counter but for now this works and makes the whole space so much more functional! I added some baskets - one for Jon, one for myself and one for each of the girls. I have to say this system works so amazing! Right now I just temporarily have a piece of fabric thrown over a tension rod to cover the space where where we keep our larger trashcan and dustpan and other little things like that. Once I find the right fabric I will sew it properly. Anyway, this was just a quick fix to help make this room more functional for now. It took me a couple of days to get the cabinets, trim and door all primed and painted because I was working on and off in between a few other projects and then getting that huge piece of plywood in there was a huge undertaking. I did that project while Jon was out of town and have to say it was probably one of my least intelligent moves. Just trying to get it down off the top of my car by myself was interesting enough and then I got it stuck trying to get it in the laundry room - let's just say a few tears were shed doing this project. Haha! Although the countertop was a nightmare the floor was the opposite. I would say it only took about an hour to install it and it was actually pretty fun! I have my eye out for some inexpensive options for the walls but for now just have some completely random things up there from our attic.  So, nothing too creative in here but all in all it is an improvement. <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGzATCVukoB6coHp1kdLbXutiO2OdENCgiAfENcENnzrQQEJH86ej_rJuAx231nPqhjvuHtOO9B4RrT2lsD0mkOB0wYBgmOGjEVj4qLfxIUifN8UP1B3Yi2D-1NjEvuaVRswX9OLGue_g/s1600/cDSC_5454.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGzATCVukoB6coHp1kdLbXutiO2OdENCgiAfENcENnzrQQEJH86ej_rJuAx231nPqhjvuHtOO9B4RrT2lsD0mkOB0wYBgmOGjEVj4qLfxIUifN8UP1B3Yi2D-1NjEvuaVRswX9OLGue_g/s1600/cDSC_5454.jpg" width="436" /></a></div><br />Another project I worked on was getting this little back hall painted.

Entryway, Laundry Room, Back Hall and Playroom Updating
