Many of you keep asking me what happened to my laundry room makeover?
Well, here it is!
The challenge for this room was that there are not windows in here.
No source of natural light. Boo!
So the first thing we did was to add the “boarding” around the room to
bring the white while adding some texture and dimension.
Also we built a countertop for the washer and dryer area.
This is perhaps one of the best things we have ever done.
Now we have a place where we can fold our laundry.
As you know life is full of messes…
…and full of clean ups!
{ By the way I need to change the sign since this is a Laundry room instead of a “cocina” }
The cabinets and small shelf got a little navy blue love and some silver knobs.
At this point all I had left was to add the accessories…
The little things that makes a house a home.
…Cute!
I love the old lace…
I found these hooks at Lowes, the nautical design was just perfect!
So there you have it… our laundry room!
Happy Monday!
Besos.

Really beautiful! Too bad you still have to do laundry in there:( Thanks!
Love the warm remake of your laundry room. It’s a wonderful example of how to take a utility area and make it truly a part of your home. I just re-did the ghastly laundry/pantry/storage space in our home. Off the garage, it served as our primary entry. It is now a warm entry/mini-office (where you can also do laundry) and is one of our favorite spaces. Our electrician even commented ‘I really like this room’…what better compliment is that?
Keep sharing your inspiring ideas:)
Thanks for posting. I am in the process of re-doing my ugly laundry room (thanks Pinterest). I bought new front loading washer and dryer and wanted a folding counter over like yours. I’m curious, where did you find table legs tall enough to go over the units? I probably need 40″, how tall are yours? I can only find table height at the big box department stores. Did you have to special order them? I’m weighing weather to go with a table look like you did or to maybe just secure to the wall using a ledger board. I have the same problem that my washer hook ups stick out over my washer and I’m afraid to cover them in case I need to access them. Did you just cover yours up? Does the table slide away from the wall or is it secured to the wall?
Wow, absolutely gorgeous Desiree — LUV it. Great inspiration for the niche area for my dryer [long story of no space in house near washer] where I need a mini-version of your beautiful & highly organized laundry room.
Thanks so much for posting.
LOOOVVEEE! Funny, just today I was looking at my photos…(I like to take pictures of products I love and want) and came across the one of your rug! I think I took that pic in Target? Now that I see the rug in action, I reeallly want it!
Great Job!
You are right I got it at Target… I love it!
Wow, beautiful color scheme Desiree! For no windows in the room, you sure do know how to bring in the brightness. Love every little bit of it 🙂
Desiree, where did you get the rug? I love it!
Lauren, I got it at Target early in the Summer.
Very nice job. I cant stand my laundry room. maybe some splashes of color will help. Could you tell where is the carpet from and what color is the wall color? thanks
I got the rug from target a few months ago. I will get back to you with the name of the paint.
Love the new room. I have a little window in mine and I really want to re-do it too, thanks for the inspiration. I do have a quote above the window that keeps my mind in a grateful attitude at all times. “I’m Thankful for Piles of Laundry- it Means My Loved Ones are Near”
Esmeralda, that is such a cute quote. Love it!
