Last week, right before we left for vacation, my husband and his dad tiled the floor of the mudroom. The tile is down and looks fabulous. We still have to paint, install new trim, and grout.
So obviously, we’re still not done, This is not surprising, seeing as it took us a full six months to finish our bathroom renovation. I’m currently deciding between 50 shades of tan to find the exact color I want for a room I barely spend time in. (Obsessive, much?)
God help us if we every decide to redo our kitchen!
Anyway, the reason this is stressful is that tiling the mudroom means we had to move the washer and dryer into the family room.
Which means I am unable to do laundry.
viaYou’d think this was a good thing.
Its only been like 5 days (since I was able to do laundry on vacation) and you would not BELIEVE how much laundry is piling up. A heat wave and kids at going to nature camp and coming home happy, exhausted and completely filthy is not helping.
Our house is starting to look like an episode of Hoarders.
But there is no WAY I am going to a laundromat in the middle of a 100-degree heat wave.
Anyone have a washer and dryer I can borrow while I spend way too much time deciding between nearly identical paint colors???

Your statement about doing the kitchen made me cringe! We did ours last year. What started with me just sanding and painting the cabinets and taking down wallpaper so we could paint… turned into gutting the entire kitchen down to the studs… walls, ceiling, floor… and doing the whole thing over thanks to termites we found {that had been treated for about 5 times in 2 years since we purchased our home} It took us 5 months to “finish”. We had no working stove, no kitchen sink… nothing for 5 months! A year later, We still have trim that has never been put up.
Hope you can choose your paint color soon and get your washer & dryer back!
After a vacation or some other “piles of laundry everywhere event” I would go to the laundramat cause you can fill as many machines as you need and its all done and over with at once. Otherwise it just seems and endless battle of the laundry. But you will have a nice remodeled laundry room and that’s a good thing.
Hope it all gets hooked up soon!!
call me if you want to borrow the washer and dryer! seriously!!
