The Laundry Room Makeover: A DIY Waterfall Counter.



 Once I got the laundry sink utility tub covered and done, man, I was pleased as punch!  Time to keep rollin' through the room, right"  Next was a DIY waterfall counter over the unstacked machines.  

A few things to wrap up the laundry sink area though:
-- since I had a crossbar at the back underneath, I propped another piece of wood up under vertically to push the back of the sink up to nearly level like a normal sink (can't find that photo, sorry)
-- since the sink was filled with stuck on paint, thanks to the interwebs I learned that you can use rubbing alcohol to remove it and wow, totally works like a charm
-- since the wood lath was bare, I used tung oil* to seal it up though it can be painted, painted in a design (which I almost did), stained, sealed....I mean, the options are endless -- since I tend to get splashy at the sink, I stuck some subway tiles to the wall, used pencil trim* around the edges, and exactly like the kitchen backsplash, added color to the grout I also bought some pegboard sample pieces, spray painted them yellow and stuck them on the wall.  Didn't much care for the look though.And then obviously of course, I added the patterned oversize pegboard.  Which, to be honest, I'm going to replace.   Not due to the pattern, due to, it's, it's a bit weird even for me.  And too big.
