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!
would love to paint a bathroom that has never been painted.
Oh man, I would paint stripes somewhere 🙂 Maybe in the kids bathroom. I love paint and your laundry room is just looking happy!
Master Bedroom!
Great laundry room! I would love to make over my living room!
Your laundry room looks awesome! My living room is needing to be painted. Thanks for a chance at a great prize.
I love what you did! I love that you painted the floor. I would have done the same thing. 😉
I am hoping to repaint my family room, kitchen, kids’ rooms, laundry room, and bathroom soon. Just don’t have any paint yet. 😉
I love your new laundry room…almost makes you want to do laundry!!
I live in a condo, so my living room and dining room are one large room w/ a good view of the kitchen. A lot of living is going on in these rooms, so it would be good to refresh the walls.
I would love to give our master bedroom a make over. We have mismatched furniture and would love to paint it. Thanks for the chance to win. Love your new laundry room, it looks terrific!
I would love to makeover my laundry room!
Your laundry room is so beautiful! All you need is a chair and you could stay down there forever, LOL!
My kitchen cabinets really need some paint so winning would be awesome, Thanks!!
The room looks fantastic!
I’d love to makeover my great room walls – thank you!
Oh, I’d love to redo my daughters bedroom. It is in desperate need of an update. Winning this would surely help!
The question is what room do I not want to paint. 😀 We moved in about 6 months back and I have several rooms waiting for paint. I think the one I want to do most is the master bedroom. I dream of the day it gets fixed up the way I want it too look.
Upstairs Bathroom…needs safety accessibility, thank you
Laundry Room is an awesome transformation, what a great feeling of accomplishment and such a happy place to complete the mundane chore of laundry and all of its stuff, enjoy, Love & Blessings to you/yours….
We are working on a lot of projects, but after we sand and paint the hallway, I would like to redo our closets.
Wonderful transformation! We are building, so a $100 SW gift card would help tremendously. Thanks for the opportunity and the constant inspiration!
Plans to turn our Florida room into a screened porch, would love the chance to try out some of Sherwin Williams paint colors on the floor : ) Thanks : ) Love your laundry room, my set up is in my garage. Trying to come up with ideas so pretty it up : )
Both of my bathrooms are in serious need of a makeover! I could easily spend $100 on some new paint!
