dry wall for the mudroom

After we gutted and framed in our newly divided laundry room and entry way, it was time to hang dry wall. We decided to do it ourselves to save money ... and this was by far the most frustrating home renovation project thus far.

In the last picture above you can can see the beginning of construction of the archway from the entryway into the living room. This matches the other arches in our living room that lead to our hallway and dining room.

We also go a tankless water heater to put in our laundry room so we would have more room for our washer/dryer.

We next had to sand and mud nails and tape, sand, and mud all the seams.

In the pictures above you can also see the tile we laid in these rooms. They are actually vinyl tile by Allure  from Home Depot. We originally wanted to use real tile, but had a lot of pipes coming out of the floor in the laundry room and thought cutting would be difficult. We needed something easy to install because the clock was ticking down on when our appliances were being delivered. We were really happy with the Allure because of the ease of installation and the "real tile" look, as well as ease of cleaning.

Next I will post pictures of the finished product!
