The Laundry Room—Before

Hey friends!

I mentioned this a few weeks ago, but in case you missed it, our 12+ year old washer and dryer called it quits a few weeks ago. Outside of the unexpected expense, we weren’t too bummed. 🙂 Of course this gave us a good excuse to start a fun makeover in the laundry room, woo hoo! I’ve got lots of fun ideas but…in the spirit of keeping it real, here’s what we were working with.

Don’t judge. 🙂

As you can see from the above photos, I had already started the demo process. We tore out part of cabinets above the washer/dryer and the strange giant cabinet on the opposite wall. I hate that cabinet!!! I was so happy to see it go! 🙂 Also, it’s absolutely disgusting underneath! Ick!!

So! Our plan is:

• remove the rest of the cabinets
• install new appliances
• figure out how to patch the tile (underneath the cabinet it’s missing)
• paint the walls
• new lighting
• window treatments
• add storage
• decorate!
The biggest challenge is fitting function into that tiny room. I’m grateful to have a space to do laundry, but it’s pretty tiny!
And just because I don’t want to leave you with only those ugly pictures to look at, here are some inspiration photos I’ve been looking at lately.

Do you all have any laundry room suggestions? PLEASE pass them my way! If there’s anything I can do to make laundry enjoyable at all…I’m down!

  1. I wish I did have some ideas but I’ve lived in apts so long and of course, there’s just a tiny space. I know you’ll come up with something awesome!
