Well thanks BF!  Nope, we talked about the paint thing and you're off the hook on that one.  ;)  You know I'm too much of a perfectionist when it comes to painting and you'd have to step aside since I need room for the creativity to flow...Besides, the laundry room is too small for two people to work!  Could have used your help to haul stuff out though.  I am almost done and can't believe the AMOUNT of stuff I have in there!  Including 3 emergency lights, one of them the older kind with the propane and mantle setup. 

Problem is, I can't decide on a paint color.  I have a feeling I'm going to do one of my signature multiple-color paint treatments that people end up seeming surprised to realize they like (that is, after they realize there's more than one color in the room--always seems to escape people, which is my intention!).
