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?

I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!
