Until i started this green little experiment, I had never set foot in a GNC. It seemed like a place for the muscle-bound and gullible. I probably would have never set foot in one, except that I read around the interwebz that GNC sell essential oils. The only GNC I was *consciously* aware of in Washington, was the on in the mall. I went to the GNC in the mall, and it was exactly as i expected. A body-builder store with a grand total of 4 varieties of essential oil. I didn't think any more about it until Nick & I went to Giant Eagle at midnight this weekend and, as we were driving by, I spotted the big red lights of an (obviously closed) GNC. I knew it was there. I drive by it a couple times a week, and I never thought about it. This GNC was a whole 'nother planet! It's walls were lined with the usual vitamins, but front & center was basically an organic pantry! All sorts of stuff, some of which i was having a hard time finding, right in front of me, not to mention probably 30+ varieties of essential oil. It wasn't all food either, there was also a very nice selection of personal care items. Guess who has a new customer?!?!
Extra Bonus: Pictures of my newly moved laundry room.
BEFORE
Basically, an empty mud room with cupboards at the end.
AFTER
Once Sadie is old enough, her crate will be replaced by a bench & coat hooks and an elevated shoe shelf (since I'm not sure she'll ever outgrow her love of shoes! That's why they're on the counter)
Nice DYI job! Looks like it turned out very well. Nothing feels as good as finishing a job like that and seeing how perfectly it turns out. :)
