The Laundry Room- Before

Hey Guys! After a fabulous extended holiday weekend- we are back at it and this time our project is the laundry room. It really has "great bones" as it is a large space with a utility sink and cabinets, ha. While the flower wall-paper may look cool/vintage- it ain't, trust me! It has a window, which would be great for natural light...if we could see out of it. The window is currently covered in vine- flip side? Total privacy at a cost of zero dollars. My vision for this room is to remove all the wall paper, paint ceiling/walls/trim/cupboards in my favorite white, cover the washer and dryer with a custom covering to utilize the space, pull all the vines off the window and install this blind. Sounds like a lot after I type. And then of course I gotta make the space look chic and throw in a succulent somewhere. This room is going to look completely different after some paint and TLC. Can't wait to get started and get some "after's" posted up on here!

This is a "true" before- like before we moved in- SO GROSS! 

Like seriously that blob b/w the washer/dryer- ew

We took out the old water heater, washer/dryer curtains, and utility sink. The movers who moved us in wound up taking that all back in their truck- hopefully that didn't get mixed up in someone else's stuff!

Better... but still gross 

 We have had our current washer/dryer (Samsung Front-Loader) for over five years now and we love them! I scrubbed everything down, and we moved in our stuff- which looks a little better but still pretty rough. 

We replaced the old utility sink with this one- but definitely going to paint those legs black! 

Notice the vines- and how it is actually growing inside our house!

INSPIRATION

My goal is clean and sophisticated.

Totally inspired by the washer/drying covering used in this photo- I think wood would look great in the laundry room- a nice contrast of materials.
