First Project

The sauna just couldn't stay. We had two strong objections: one from a good friend who used to wrestle. He had fond memories of sweating his weight away wearing trash bags in a hot sauna. Didn't sound very appealing. The other friend is Russian and "the Banya" is a way of life when he grew up in Russia. We told him we'd save him the scraps, but the sauna was going to be history. The germs, the sweat...plus, my space-planning vision had already been set. The tiny "mud room" between the garage and family room needed to be expanded into a proper laundry/mudroom. Let the fun begin!

Sauna = waste of space.

Just imagine all the germs we could share.

Now we're talking. Tile from Master Wholesale. 

Hard at work.

Cubbies almost complete!

Already need to be cleaned and organized! 

Better than a sauna. I love paper towels. Don't tell anyone.
