Got all the drywall sanded and smoothed. Painted the ceiling and walls last night. We went for a really beautiful, pure blue color that is hard to describe. It's close to primary, but it changes quite a bit in the light.
After we got all the paint done, however, I realized my plan to leave the laundry without its own light wasn't possibly the best idea. Sure, it's right in the hallway, and that has two light fixtures of its own. But not having a source in the laundry seemed a half-measure.
So I went ahead and cut new holes, ran new electrical and installed a light. Actually, the one here is temporary while the understated new one I ordered is delivered.
It was then time to install the flooring: medium-gray Flexi-Tiles in a slate finish. You install them by pounding the interlocking fingers into one another. I have to say that I wasn't quite as impressed with the engineering as I thought I might be, but they went in pretty smoothly.
Those in place, it was time to decide on shelving. We hadn't really intended to do this tonight, but we had to go to Lowe's for some caulking anyhow -- so why not just get the shelves before messing with the washer and dryer?
Rubbermaid wire shelves are the perfect solution here. Add the laundry machines, and our first room is pretty much done. One of the hardest ones down. Now on to the bathroom with my full attention.
