Laundry Closet Curtains

Update by David. Laundry ahoy!

As part of the breakfast nook, the laundry closet looked better after the repaint, but obviously the repaint drew more attention to the laundry closet than ever before. My laundry closet tends to be where miscellaneous junk tends to accumulate - where there is shelving, there be junk.

Before:

As can be seen, there is plenty of junk to be hidden.

Middle:

Much better with paint, but still everything hanging out for the general public to see.

We went to Ikea and picked up a double track railing system and four cloth panels. Luckily, I had some molly bolts to attach the rail securely. After mounting the railing to the ceiling, the cloth panels had to be cut to length and have the bottom aluminium rails attached. Cutting the panels to size was tricky, but eventually we got it worked out.

She said: The best part about this is that the panels hide everything, but they also slide all the way to the sides of the walls so that we can fully access the shelves and washer/dryer. 

After:

Clean and functional. Each panel slides for easy access to the washer and dryer (and junk).
