Laundry Room Makeover Design Board

I’m ready to kick off my first BIG project of the year! Last week I shared my initial project list for 2020 and it’s time to jump right in to the laundry room makeover. I have had this project in mind since we moved in, but it’s been very low on the priority list. Until now! Let’s tackle this small beast in FOUR weeks!

For this makeover, I’m joining a group of super talented design bloggers as we all renovate, refresh or makeover a space in just four weeks. Today, I’m sharing my Laundry Room Makeover Design Board and giving you some insight into the look I’m going for.

Laundry Room Makeover Design Board

Current Laundry Room

Let’s start with what it currently looks like. We have a very very small laundry room. It’s on the second level of our home and barely fits in a washer and dryer and I can hardly even open the dryer all the way due to the linen closet in there. But that is another topic. Anyway, this is the mini makeover I did on it four years ago! I added some rustic pipe shelving to make it a little more functional and

But it’s time for a full remodel to make this space feel like an extension of all the work we’ve been doing on our home. I want to fully finish it off with cabinetry, a backsplash and a countertop! Let’s take a look!

Black and White Laundry Room

Ceiling Lights | White Cabinets | White Bridge Cabinet | Black Mosaic Backsplash | Butcher Block Counter | Woven Baskets | Nature Prints | Black Woven Basket | Laundry Room Word Search

I loved how our recent kitchen remodel turned out and I’m excited to extend that look into the laundry room! I want to paint it Reserved White like the rest of the house, add upper cabinets, a black back plash, live edge counter top and some more modern decor and lighting! I’m confident we can get this done in the next four weeks!

    I love the plan you have for this space! I always lust after laundry room makeovers since is ours is out in a detached garage. The live edge counter is going to be so cool. Can’t wait to see it come together!

    Such a beautiful design!! Cant wait to see it all come together :)
    How do you feel about using Edison bulbs in the lighting for brightness????
    I love the lights you have chosen!!! (My laundry/mud room is off the garage when one comes in. It is about the same with, the washer and dryer, however longer than yours. I currently have 2 2-light flush mounts) My fear is 2 of the lights you have chosen may not give off enough light for me :( (I have glass pendents over my sink and eating table. They each only use 1 bulb, and when I use an edison one, it isn’t very bright. Would love to have the shape of edison, but brightness of regular bulbs)

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character. (Swipe for the before) It now feels like my own little escape to the French countryside every time I do laundry, and I’m not mad about it. 

Comment LAUNDRY for all the details and links!
