Rustic Modern Laundry Room

I did a little work on our rustic modern laundry room and wanted to share some of the updates with you! I revealed this small laundry room makeover a few months back, but there were a few things I needed to finish. 1) I had ran out of tile for the backsplash and barely made it to the shelf. and 2) I needed to add some trim work to make the edges of the tile look a little more polished.

To be honest, doing finishing work and perfecting the tiny details in a space is not my speciality, but I am learning to be more patient and take time for the small details that make a space look more professional.

So do you notice a difference? I feel like taking the tile up to the ceiling made it feel more complete and made a bigger impact.

Laundry Room Before

Here is what the laundry room looked like in the original reveal .

Black Mosaic Tile Backsplash

The tile that I used is a peel and stick tile for the backsplash. It was SO easy to put on, no grout needed and it was easy to cut on my miter saw. This is a really great solution if you don’t feel comfortable tiling, or just want to do a quick small space.

Once the tile was finished, I added some quarter round to the edges to create a more polished look. I think it adds so much.

I love this little laundry room scrabble print I found for this room. It’s so cute and also classy at the same time.

And to keep with my pacific northwest vibe around our home, I added these moody mountain prints. I like how they add a subtle pop of blue to the room.

    Did you stain the countertop? If so, do you recall what color?

      Hi! I didn’t stain it, this was the natural color of the butcher block. But I did seal it with a satin Polyurethane.

        Thanks! Why I asked is the color doesn’t look anything like the photo on Home Depot’s website. Maybe it was the poly that gave it a richer color?

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

But I’m sure loving the dramatic before and after so far. Linking all sources.

I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs I’ve been looking for the perfect accent chairs for our family room for years! Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy. I have had my eye on these gorgeous Vail accent chairs from @denvermodern and they didn’t disappoint. The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
