Laundry area redo

 When we moved into our house, one of the things we wanted to do was update the laundry area.  We "inherited" a nice washer and dryer with the house, but the laundry closet was not big enough to hold the new high efficiency washer and dryers.  So, there were no closet doors on the laundry closet.  We wanted to change that. 

 This is the before photo, cabinets and washer and dryer all exposed:

In order to be able to push the washer and dryer as tight against the wall as possible, JD had to alter the plumbing and dryer vent.  The dryer originally vented from the back:

We wanted it to vent from the bottom, so we bought this thing to change the vent direction:

So, now it vents through the bottom of the dryer:

 

And, JD had to cut a hole in the floor to vent it through the floor:

 

 

JD had to build a bulkhead, so that we could install closet doors:

 

And we removed the cabinets and installed shelves:

And we changed the lighting:
