This project was a few weeks in the making. The following two pictures are of room before the renovation.

The next few pictures are the renovated laundry room. This is my first attempt at using melamine. Melamine has it benefits but I still prefer using birch ply for cabinetry. The built in pantry has 3/4" in melamine for the carcase and drawers. The face frame and doors are hard maple. The top cabinets are made of 3/4" birch ply with hard maple face frames and doors. All the door knobs are cherry from LV. I did not change the sink cabinet but the doors are hard maple. The table is 1 1/2" laminated ply with an arborite top, hard maple skirting and legs. Everything was finished with Minwax poly. Some of the doors are hand finished and some were sprayed with a turbine. I also moved the plumbing around, electrical, painted, replaced the trim and put ceramic tiles in.
