Airing out the Laundry Room

My brother and sister in law recently went on a trip to Peru with a bunch of family and friends. A few days before leaving they took possession of their first house. As a house warming gift, my cousin Ali, her husband Ben, Jen's (my sister in law) sister Jody and Aaron and I decided that we would redo a room for them. We had originally thought we would do the kitchen with new tile, counter and hardware, but the laundry room as you can see was just crying out for some help. It ended up being a big job, but it looks amazing now. We painted the walls, cupboards, replaced the flooring, redid the lighting, and accesorized. Ben put up the wallpaper which was great. He is tall enough that he didn't need a step ladder like the rest of us. Looks great Ben.

It was a surprise, so they had no clue it was happening. Those of us who did it love the finished product and by the sounds of it, Travis and Jen are thrilled with it too. I had a great time working with everyone. Great Job everyone, it was a lot of fun doing this together. I wasn't able to be there for the final accesorizing of it all, but Ali and Jody, it looks amazing! Thanks Travis and Jen for leaving us a key. I guess we'll know what they really thought by whether they ever leave us a key again.

WOW! How would anyone NOT be happy with that! I'm sure they'll leave again soon and leave a key :) Just watch, they'll be gone every weekend until the house is done!

what a great idea... we should go away and leave more people with our keys and see if our kitchen gets done!
