Cowshed Bath Ideas

Cowshed Laundry Room

And... the floor is down
Going to put the Gibson girl cocacola picture in this approximate spot over the tankless water heater as a "door" to hide it. 


Paint!
I think we nailed the blue-green paint color. 
And the fresh coat of white brightened things up quite a bit.  




Here are the Before photos and what we started with after cleaning / prep






Had Gemini create a mockup of what I am thinking about the laundry room -- tried to describe what I know we have already as simply as possible -- still have a window on the left and not have the screen door / rather put a 9 pane upper window door that we have in the shop -- put the screen door on the interior side between laundry room and kitchen. We also have a small coca cola desk lamp and a box / trunk made out of vintage wooden coke boxes that could be used to store detergent, etc. 
also thinking of making a stackable washer / dryer in the front right corner and have space for ironing board or deep freeze in the corner by the door (maybe put the coke sign on top of the freezer as a table top / folding area?
