How to Remodel a Laundry Room

We spent parts of the last few weeks remodeling our laundry room.  Melanie came up with the idea. Dave came up with the design (inspired partly by this site) and did the work himself. It was a fun project and luckily nothing went wrong. While the room is too small to be a mudroom, it at least gives us a place to hang backpacks and jackets.
