Laundry rooms are so exciting, am I right?
No? Not really?
Hmmm.
I have to admit that even though this room is at the veeerrryy bottom of our list of priorities, I am still VERY excited about it. I think it’s the wannabe organizer in me, but I really love laundry rooms. In our last home, I was really proud of how the laundry room turned out. So, even though it might be a year or more before we can prioritize the time and money to make this room truly beautiful, I’ll thoroughly enjoy the process of dreaming up ideas in the meantime.
Plans so far–replace some surface (per usual), add either color or contrast with paint, and organize it REALLY well to optimize those massive storage shelves and that teeny little broom closet.
Here are some more photos:
I love that this room has a sink. SO useful! I plan to replace it with a stainless steel sink so it will be a great, functional place for me to rinse out paint brushes and use for various DIY projects.
Here’s the opposite view. You can see the tiny broom closet to the right here. There’s a door that goes outside and bunch of windows, you know—so I can do my laundry in BEAUTIFUL, natural light.
You can see the shelves here. It’s awesome to have so much storage space. They are VERY high though. With the washer and dryer in place, I can barely reach the bottom shelves. So some kind of a stool or mini ladder will be necessary.
The yellow counter tops were so my color in, like, 2007. But not anymore. They’re actually kind of charming though! Not keeping them. But I like how June Cleaver they feel.
It’s gonna be so pretty once I freshen it up a bit!
A close up of the linoleum floors. Definitely ready to be replaced.
And one last view from both sides. Next time you see this space it will be making some SERIOUS progress! xx- Elsie
ps. As always, if you have ideas and opinions, I LOVE hearing them!
