Laundry room progress.............

First my apologies; I did not take any before photos.....feel free to yell at me!!

Suffice to say it's come a long way since we moved in.  There was drywall on the window wall and on the wall where the washer and dryer is.  There was no ceiling, nor flooring down.  The rest of the walls were bare and hubby framed in more walls; amongst other things.

I have said this before and will say it again; people who think/or have a little bit of knowledge make more of a mess than folk with no knowledge!  So thanks to that hubby had more work than he intended to do, as many things had to be corrected.  Including a gale force wind coming in from outside 😟 The electrics were dodgy, and on and on it went!

The room size is around 16 feet 9 inches long, by 12 feet wide at the widest point (in the alcove) but around 9 feet without adding in the alcove.

So this is the entrance to the laundry room.  All new trim had to go in, as there wasn't any.  New drop ceiling.

This is looking towards one end of the room.  Although you can't see it in this photo, the ceiling had to be angled so we can "escape" in the case of fire through that window.  It's a requirement by law.  The flooring is a vinyl planking and has made a huge difference in that room.  We went with a mid-price one from Home Depot and that extra cost was well worth it. 
This is the other end of the room, where the washer and dryer is.  There is a sink unit to go in on the left hand side by the washer.  The washer and dryer needs to be pushed back into place.  We are going to add an upper cabinet on the wall above the washer and dryer.
This is the alcove part of the room.  The chest freezer will more or less stay in the exact place.  The door frame has still to be installed.  Through the door way to the left is where the furnace and water heater are.  It can be accessed by another door in the main room in the basement as well.
This room is big enough it could have been made into two rooms.  We just decided to keep it as one big room.  Between the two windows we are going to add a double door base cabinet and probably and upper cabinet for more storage.

So our next plan of action in this room is to add the sink unit and get that plumbed in; and yes the guy screwed up the plumbing as well {{{SIGH}}}  We'll then add the cabinets.  I have started to move things back into the room.

Then we'll tackle to room through the alcove.  That needs beadboard adding to the walls.  The flooring installed and the trim.  All trim to be painted in that room as well as the door in the laundry room.  I figured I would do the door when I did the other trim.  

The goal for all this is by mid-April, before golf season starts!!!  Overall very pleased with how it looks.
