It’s going to be SO great to have a fully functional, yet pretty laundry room space around here. I still can’t believe the changes when I look at the Before shots of this space. Dingy and dreary are two words that come to mind, but not anymore! Lighter, brighter and fun are now words in my vocabulary when I talk about my beautiful new and improved laundry room.
It’s been great to partner with Sherwin-Williams on this project, picking my HGTV® HOME by Sherwin-Williams paint and getting to buy some accessories for the space. What a fun project it’s been!
Check out their awesome Color Selection Tools.
Let’s look one more time at the BEFORE, the day we bought the house. Can I get a collective YUCK?
And now the AFTER!
Keeping the walls bright white was the best decision I made and one of my favorite colors, Alabaster, by Sherwin-Williams is a true winner. It would be great for trim or walls, it has a slight hint of creamy vanilla and is not at all stark white. The perfect shade of white for me. I even used it on the stripes on the floor, along with Cityscape, a deep gray that enhances my room.
So, let’s get on to the rest, shall we?!
I can’t believe the changes in this room now. It really feels like a finished space, after painting out the walls in the final white shade of Alabaster, as well as painting the trim pieces we added a while back.
Found this really cool blue cabinet at Homegoods and thought it would be perfect in here for storage.
The folks from Royal Design Studio were great to send me one of their stencils to try out, the Chez Sheik Moroccan stencil from the Allover Moroccan stencil collection and added an accent wall above the washer dryer and a shelf from Ballard Designs. And, I got the brilliant idea of hiding the ugly black air ducts to the right of the washer dryer with a pair of curtain panels. They are perfect to help disguise that ugliness and add a soft factor to the room. I’ll tell you all about the details of this space in a later post, but the drapes came from Wayfair.
Another project that you’ve already seen is the new sink base and faucet. I love having this in here!
Covering up the air duct was really key to making this feel like a real room and I think these drapes do the trick. I will try to do another post on how I hung these drapes. I bought large shower curtain rings that opened all the way so that I could snap them over the existing metal water pipe that was up there. It made the perfect curtain rod for the drapes.
I was also able to shop for some accessories in here, and these 2 light fixtures from Ballard Designs complete the space with some pretty details up above. The lighting in here before was a plain naked light bulb. Not appealing at all. I’ve upped the glam factor tremendously with the lighting.
Behind the drapes, I can store a few things, and this is like having a storage closet tucked away next to the refrigerator and out of sight.
My parents got a new toilet in their master bathroom and passed this one on to me to use in this corner. It was already stubbed, and I had my plumber come out and hook it up. It will definitely come in handy around here!
I’m so happy to have most of this makeover done. It’s going to be a great space to have, and I will utilize it to the max. The other end of the room will eventually be a storage closet with a wall in place, and then this space will be completely done-zo!
I would love to win a gift card! We need to paint our dining room!
I would love to finally do my master bedroom.
All of the rooms but specifically the master bathroom!
What a fabulous makeover! How lucky you are to have so much space to work with. I’d like to do a makeover in my master bedroom.
I would like to redo my kitchen someday.
I would love to paint my bedroom. The walls are beadboard and over 100 years old. Every room in my house is colorful and I want to try white and see how it feels. Thanks for giveaway!
I would love to make over my basement, it looks a lot like your laundry room before, drab & dreary!

I wish my living room looked as good as your laundry room *lol* Maybe some SW paint would help…

Just got done painting the master bath today and am now ready to paint the master bedroom.
Your laundry room looks great. What a dramatic change from the before.
I would love to redo the bathroom in our basement. It is in much need of some attention.
I am going to re-do my teenage son’s room this summer.
First, we will need to paint the walls and we are going to
look at blues, he likes blue-always has. So to win a $100 gift card from Sherwin-Williams would be awesome!
There are so many great colors of blue at Sherman-Williams, too. I am going to make drop cloth curtains with new curtain rods, we already have a Pottery Barn quilt for his bed. I have to show him my ideas and he will give me the “ok” to proceed. He will learn how to paint this summer as well!
My laundry room. It is white, shich my husband likes, but I spend the most time in there and would like some color.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I need to go to Sherwin Williams because my house really needs a painting! Everything is better with new paint!
My last painting makeover in this house is my kitchen cabinets! They are just awful looking, although they are great quality. I can’t wait to get them looking good!
I’d like to makeover my bathroom.
I’d make over my bonus room which is the last of my home projects for a complete renovation. This would be a nice start!
