I am pleased to announce that after owning our house for just about 5 years, we have finally made-over our laundry room. I have despised our laundry room since day 1. The biggest issues I had with the room was that it was waaaayy too white for me and the placement of the washer and dryer were ridiculous! We made a few improvements over the years but, of course, I was never satisfied. Finally, our washer and dryer pooped out and we were forced to buy new!! And that's when my husband decided to get to work on it. Soooo {drumroll please} here is the new and improved laundry room:
We did everything ourselves (meaning my husband did most of it!) so we saved a lot of money! Here's a complete list of everything we did to the room:
we were moving in...

We did everything ourselves (meaning my husband did most of it!) so we saved a lot of money! Here's a complete list of everything we did to the room:
Paint, new flooring, bead-board wall with crown, old door on wall with hooks, new trim all throughout, new washer and dryer, new countertop, raised cabinet and put on feet, bead-board backsplash, corbals and rope lighting under cabinets, crown trim above cabinets, took cabinet doors off and organized... and I think that's all!
These are the only before pictures I could find of the room:

OMG Every woman on the planet is jealous!! I would even be satisfied with your "old" laundry room!! The new one looks fabulous!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great! Great job. What were they thinking when they were putting that laundry room together in the first place?!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I'm jealous of the size of your laundry room. Love what you've done with it too. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteLove your old door. I recently found one as well and was planning to do close to the same idea as yours only use door knobs for my hooks and hang pictures from ribbon on them. Wound you mind sharing how you atached it to the wall? Mine is way heavy and at a lose as to how to hang it.
ReplyDeleteYour laundry room is literally a dream to me....how wonderful! Sigh....Literally our little home here in Hawaii is the old style home built in the early 60s where the washer, dryer AND hot water heater are all outside the house on our lanai (patio). So, seeing even your before picture is heaven to me. Congratulations! I'm following you thru Sunday Showcase. Pam @ Sallygoodin
ReplyDeleteDrooooool! Let me wipe my chin! I love the open cabinets and ....well...EVERYTHING!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The beadboard is really great! I am really jealous of how large your laundry room is!
ReplyDeleteThat's an awesome makeover. Much needed it seems. What a huge room that is. Where I come from, mud rooms and large laundry rooms are just about non existant. What a great place to do laundry. You made it perfect.
ReplyDeleteLisa
Loving it, I am so jealous...our washer and dryer are in a closet. Can you say no storage? Would love for you to link this up to Fabulous Friday! It's up until tomorrow night (Monday!)

Stopping by to let you know that we featured your door coat rack on Someday Crafts. Thanks for linking up with Whatever Goes Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteThat was the craziest placement of a washer that I've ever seen. The after makes so much more sense. It looks like you gained more storage space too. I don't care what anyone else says, a decorated laundry hated make a dreaded chore a little less dreadful.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome!!! I especially love the red wall with the door hooks - so much character :) I found your site through Rory's blog, btw!
ReplyDeleteThis is a laundry room you actually WANT to be in...thanks for allowing us to peek into your home on Modern Craftswoman Monday! Rory
