Laundry in the garage

I have posted about the laundry room before but at that time I didn't upload any images showing how much work was involved. Well, I have found some more photos in the meanwhile; so here they are:
This is how it all started: we were remodeling the downstairs studio. This door used to lead from the garage to the studio, and it was right next to the laundry area. The small hallway used to be super narrow with a very low ceiling so we needed to move walls around.
The walls were already taken down inside the studio, but the plan was to remove them on the laundry's side as well. We might as well kill two birds with one stone, --wouldn't anyone?
As soon as all sheet rock walls were taken down, cables and plumbing had to be re-wired and moved.
New insulation material showing above laundry area and some new boards reinforcing the old columns.
Here the new entrance for the studio is shown, but the laundry door is not yet installed.
New, clean walls for the laundry, ready for washer and dryer with brand new wiring and hot/cold water!
New washer and dryer is now installed. A small sink with a new cabinet for detergents and cleaning supplies can be seen on the right hand side. Thank you, PL for the beautiful wood work. Doing laundry is no longer a problem around here :)
When the laundry door is shut, nothing can be seen. A small little issue: the entrance door of the studio (on the right) appears a few shades lighter in color than the rest of the wall and the laundry doors; it is likely because the wood is different... oh well, we say no big deal!
