Once we decided we were going to stay in our house for a while, I declared I was going to at least make the house more bearable (for me at least--my husband doesn't care).
First was the kitchen, then the office, then the bathroom. What's next? The laundry room. I went from Craigslist where someone quoted me $600 for used oak cabinets to Lowe's who quoted me $722 with tax for new unfinished ones--and neither one of those included the countertops we'd need to purchase. We went back to Lowe's today to get the cabinets but first decided to check out the ready-made utility type cabinets. What'd we go home with? The ready-made utility cabinets--Estate Storage Systems, to be precise:
Not only were they cheaper, but we also won't have to refinish them, buy hardware, or buy a counter top. The only things I'm now prepared to buy are wall paint & contact paper to go over the tops of base cabinets. I'm so excited!
I just have to decide on color. I'm thinking a light green or light orange might be fun. C said no to blue because of the other rooms. Something like this? (but lighter)
Or this?
