A Happy Green Laundry Room

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.

    What a beautiful laundry room, Rhoda! I wish mine looked like that (I can hardly move around in mine, it’s so small).
    Doing laundry would be fun in a pretty room like that!
    Hugs,

    My laundry room in a closet in the kitchen. I do need to spruce it up for sure and you have inspired me! Thanks!

    I am so glad to have found your site and have had a great time sneaking around and viewing MANY of your posts. Your laundry room is precious! I love it! A friend and I had a little redesign business for a couple of years. It was lots of fun.

    I am sooooo glad that you posted this again! When I first began reading blogs I remembered seeing someone’s beautiful green laundry room. I even suspected it might have been yours but I couldn’t find the post again.

    I’m thinking that I want to use that color in my new laundry. Thanks for the inspiration!

    That is great. I love those colors together. I have a current black and white kitchen that I was thinking of painting a very similar green. It is great to see how well it is going to go with the black counter tops and black/white floor. (I just wish I could get rid of the the white cabinets!)

    You do have one of the best laundry rooms I’ve seen. That fresh green is a great foil against the crisp black and white.

    Hmmm….

    I just loooove your laundry room! I would brazenly copy all of your decorating in there if I had a laundry room myself. 🙂

    Ours is tucked in a closet off our master bath, which is very convenient, but I do miss having a separate room for it–if for no other reason than there’s nothing to decorate!

    Thanks so much for showing this again. Also love your checked floors. I had similar ones in a kitchen two houses ago and they made the whole room feel more cheerful and fun. -Julia
