Thank you for the compliments! My first time hanging up cabinets, tricky hanging with no help! I did consider with the short cabinet over the top load washer instead but would drive me a little crazy over time with my ocd. Now the next obstacle is what to decide for the hoses and cables...

OK quick update this is what I gti done yesterday.Everything perfectly level.

Wow I think that would work out great. I'll have to see the clearance I have after I put the wall cabinets up. Reason being is the washer has the top load feature. I will keep you all updated. So many good ideas, thanks guys. Pedestal seems the way to go but most expensive to build.

Okay I'm back and need ideas please. This is a picture of my laundry room, new walnut finish cabinets are going up this week but we will still have these ugly hose and wire hookups exposed. I guess I could lift them up by putting a platform but would like to see if anyone else did anything...

Thank you, Pinterest has been my go to as well haha. I am glad you guys agree with me, I don't think a woodbeam should be there either. Haha. So just paint it all white with some bordering to dress it up? I do like that idea too to border the kitchen entrance.

First post; purchased a new home and already have a huge itch to do some projects. Already did two rooms and now looking to do the sepeation between the living room and dining room. I want to keep the carpet but looking to change the columns, divider and beams. I do believe the columns are...
