One of my favorite spaces in the house is my laundryroom just because it’s so darn cute and happy, so I thought y’all might enjoy seeing it all again. I posted it last year when I did the black and white peel and stick tile project here, but didn’t post all that many pics and I have so many new readers now that I doubt you’ve all seen it and I doubt you’ve all read my 145 posts from 2007. This time I went all around the room, so you can see the whole thing. I love this little space and doing laundry isn’t nearly so hard to do now.
Most of this came from my old sunroom and screened porch, so it was easy to come up with gardeny things for this room. And gardens make me happy, so it was a perfect match. You may recognize the bunny weathervane from Target that SO many of us picked up 2 years ago. I had my eye on him for months and finally scored it for about 75% off. That white hanging cabinet was an old pine castoff from my parents that I took and painted, adding the molding to it to dress it up a bit. Wall color is Behr Grasscloth (at Home Depot).
I knew I needed something in here to hang clothes on, so I bought a closet rod from Lowes and painted it black. Added the wooden brackets to the wall and side of the cabinet and figured out the height I would need for it. Works great for hanging up damp clothes.
Those 2 garden prints were a gift from one of my Birmingham friends.
Found the laundry sign at TJ Maxx. Powder laundry detergent is stored in the harlequin box and dryer sheets in the red basket. I put this shelf here to disguise the washer hoses right below. You hardly notice it now. 
More garden things on this Homegoods shelf….and bunnies…did I mention bunnies?!
A yardsale frame got a new print to go with the laundryroom.
All of this is from my old porch and sunroom. That’s a decoupaged old window with dried flowers which I found at a yardsale.
Cute birdhouses and topiaries.
Bunnies and plants
This was my old island in my Georgia kitchen and was made from scratch with granite tiles. Note the bunny pulls.
Added this molding to the front of the cabinet to jazz it up a little, as well as crown molding. You would never know this was an old utility room castoff now.
Valance that my mom made for my old screened porch. I used left over fringe from my kitchen window treatment.
A garden rug was a big inspiration for this little room and goes perfectly with the new peel and stick tiles.One of my blog readers sent me an email recently to let me know that she had used my laundryroom as an inspiration for her redo and used the same colors and similar accessories in there. It turned out SO cute, so go and have a look at Tam’s laundryroom. Hers is in the basement of her home and I think she has done a fantastic job with it all. I love the fabric she chose too, as well as all the little details that pull it all together. Great job, Tam!
Hope you enjoyed the tour and maybe you’ll get some inspiration of your own for a pretty and fun laundryroom. If yours is not big or pretty, look around and see what you can do to improve it. I know there’s something you can do to make this chore easier to do! My old house just had bifold doors for the laundryroom, so this one is huge to me.
Don't Miss a Post, join my list!
Just lovely – I would spend all my time doing laundry!!
Oh, you are so wrong! I have gone back to every one of your posts. I am glad to see more of your cute room. I would love this but with 5 kids afraid the piles of clothes would suffocate the bunnies. The smell alone from my son’s football practice uniforms would make all the topiaries droop over. Seriously, I hope to get to this room of my house one day and find some cute things at garage sales to add to it to make it more joyful to enter. I cleaned ours on Sat and my husband walked in and shouted that this was one great laundry room. (4 of my kids were gone so I got all the hanging clothes put up and there were none to wash)
Your laundry room is great! My washer/dryer are stacked next to the boys shower but I dream of someday having a ‘real’ laundry room! (having it in the boys bathroom is better than my last house where it was about 50ft out the back door in an open garage!)
Okay, now maybe if I dressed my laundry room into a Laundry Room I wouldn’t mind going in so much, what do you think? Very imaginative!

I love this room! It’s so much better than the dungeon I do my laundry in! Jen R
Love the laundry room, you are such an inspiration with all your decorating ideas that you share, thank you. I have a laundry room but not as large as yours (old one was a closet) and I have those new tall front load types that I am not sure I like (hard to get into the cabinet above washer and dryer) but thankful for what space I do have.
Don’t we always want something different…ha ha

Well, I’ve read quite a few of your old posts! LOL
Your laundry room is adorable! I love the color of the walls, and all the assessories. This room would make a ‘not so fun’ task lots more pleasurable!
Great photos!
Have a great day,
Diane
Oh my gosh! This makes me want to do laundry! (maybe that was your M.O., hahaha) My laundry “room” is a dingy corner in my 100-year-old-plus mildewy basement. I think I’ll keep that off my blog, lest someone’s eyeballs rupture just from looking at it. 🙂
Oh my, it is so cute. You have inspired me to do mine now! Mine is the only room in the house that I haven’t laid a finger on… so sad! No more:)
Oh my goodness, Rhoda, this is adorable!! I have been contemplating going green in my laundry room for some time, and you may have sold me. It ALMOST makes me want to do laundry! Just love it!
My laundry area is in a closet. While I love it because it is on the second floor where most of the laundry comes from and goes to, there is not much room for decorating. Any ideas for decorating a laundry closet? Right now I have two antique washboards (which I’ve been known to use), and a shark vac hanging on the walls. The back wall has a set of cabinets to hold laundry stuff and cleaning stuff for upstairs.
May I ask where you find your bird cages? Lately I have been wanting to find a nice white wood bird cage for decoration.
Your laundry room makes me smile and I can see how it makes it easier to do the wash!
Rhoda, that is the best laundry room I have seen yet. I have cabinets above my washer and dryer and all around it. I would love to somehow incorporate some of your design but I will have to think of how.
Blessings~~
Rhoda… If I had a laundry room I would love to fold clothes…. I love E*V*E*R*Y*T*H*I*N*G…. That room just makes you smile! oh … just wanted you to know… I love pictures guess thats why I love you so. You always give us great pictures… Love it! Susie H~
That’s a great room, Rhoda. I really like the green and black, and I’ve always been a fan of that island from your old kitchen.
My laundry “room” is in my basement. I wonder if I’ll ever get the gumption to actually do something decorative with it. Probably not…lol. I’m just happy to have my washer and dryer NEXT to each other. In my apartment, they were on opposite sides of the basement. Talk about a pain in the butt!
Hi Rhoda –
Your laundry room is fantastic! I can see why you love it so much. You are an inspiration to me. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get a couple of things into my teeny, tiny space. Now I know what to look for and how to add them. My laundry room opens right off of the dining next to the table! It goes into a small half bath on the other end and has a door into the garage. It’s convenient for doing laundry but oh, so small. And it’s a pass-through room. The challenges don’t stop it from being something special. Because the door opens right into the dining room there’s all the more reason to have it be something very special. I’m working on it. Thanks for sharing again. (I HAVE gone back and read all of your posts!)

LOVE LOVE LOVE your adorable laundry room! I have looked at your set of house pictures a few times and always admired your laundry room. It has just the kind of decor I like. I am inspired to do something fresh and new in my own. Thanks for your wonderful blog – it brightens up my day!
I love it! The green is so pretty and it just shines…That gives me inspiration to get the junk out of our laundry room, since it has now become a catch all. Thank you again for great ideas! : )
Hi Rhoda, I did enjoy the tour, it’s beautiful. Although nothing could ever make me enjoy doing laundry, you have made quite a nice space for yourself. Deb
Happy green is the perfect name for it, because it does, in fact, make me happy. I love the scratch table! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. My laundry room has been a work in progress for some time now. I hope to get it completed soon. I have the black and white square lynolum (sp?) too. Love it!
