My Laundry Room – Before and After
Creating a laundry room that makes you want to do laundry is everything! Here are my before and after pictures of my laundry room renovation!
One of the most used rooms in our home has rarely been seen on my blog.
It’s the laundry room. Not a fun place but the update makes it all that better.
And the room is big which is awesome.
The original floor plan says this room was the office and the washer and dryer was a stackable in a hallway closet.
I’m so glad the previous owners made the ‘office’ into a laundry room.
And I’m sooooo glad it’s been renovated.
Here is the before. Yuck. Dated cabinets and dreary walls!
The cabinets were kept and just given a fresh coat of soft white paint and handles updated.
I had my cabinet guy take out one lower cabinet and move the washer and dryer to the cabinet side.
Then I had the pedestals removed from the washer and dryer and the cabinet and sink heightened.
Finally a black granite countertop was installed and I added this cool light fixture.
The cabinets were a good idea but I don’t get why the Washer and dryer were on this wall.
When I had the white subway tile installed in our kitchen recently, I had them installed in this laundry room too. Gorgeous.
The opposite side of the room shows where to hang your coats.
Or sweat pants and electrical cords.
So much better!
There’s so much storage for hats, mitts, umbrellas, shoes and coats now.
You might spy my distressed key holder (made from a wine crate) on that wall.
I love all the updates! It’s a joy to do laundry in here.
Or take a nice break on the patio.
Beautiful room! And so much more functional now! It is weird how the previous owners placed the washer dryer, it made no sense. I’m super jealous of your patio! We’re buried under snow in Ontario!
Thank you so much! I know! So weird.

I love that you moved the washer and dyer and kept the original cabinets. It’s amazing how much paint can change a space! The granite and classic subway tile are beautiful as well. Great makeover!
Thanks Katie, I love the space now.

Ok this is so bright and pretty! Maybe if my laundry room looks like this, I might do laundry more often???
I know, right? Maybe, haha
Hugs, Jamie
Oh Jamie That is just so cool!! It looks so much better!! Love it girl!!
Thanks Shawnna!
Hugs, Jamie
My goodness! What a beautiful and amazing and functional space you have created. Girl, you are so talented!!
Thanks so much, Luisa!
Hugs, Jamie
PLEASE share where you found your laundry hamper! I love it!
Oh Erica, I got it at Home Sense here in Canada 🙁
Hugs, Jamie
Oh no!! Of course 🙂 I suppose I’ll have to try to recreate this myself — I just don’t think I can live without it now that I’ve laid my eyes on it.
Nice score! and thank you for replying!
I know, such a score! Don’t you hate that when others can’t buy it? I wish I could say I found it online. My friend wants it too. It’s metal sides with cotton lining.
This looks so amazing, Jamie! Great job!
Thanks so much 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Beautiful. Amazing.
Thanks Joy 😉

Wow what a transformation! I’m in love with the subway tile 🙂
Thanks so much, Angela.
Hugs, Jamie
Beautiful … love the cabinet top over the washer/dryer for folding clothes. I have a top loading washer, so not possible for me.
Thanks Audrey. I love that spot too.
Hugs, Jamie
Gosh, this room makes me so jealous! It’s gorgeous. I have always dreamed of one day making over my laundry room, but it’s definitely not a top priority. Maybe someday…for now I’m trying to get the rest of my house in order…painting like a maniac & making over our rooms project by project.
Thanks so much, Erin. Yes, this room is never a top priority but once your other rooms are done hopefully you can get to this room.
Hugs, Jamie
Wow, what a fresh and inviting place to do laundry. I love the new layout. Makes so much more sense.

Thanks so much, Mary 😉

Wow that’s awesome! My laundry room is so tiny. And it’s in the most awkward place ( the way to get into the garage). It has a small closet and then the doorway to the garage and a doorway to close it off. So if your doing laundry you either have piles on the floor and can’t get to your garage or you have it smack in the middle of the floor and anyone coming to your house sees your sorted laundry! You literally open the doors to the dryer by accident trying to bring your groceries in! I would love a space like this, so roomy! Nice job!
Oh I feel your pain, Kim. This is the first house where I’ve had a laundry room like this. It’s usually the kids’ dumping ground.
Hugs, Jamie
This is a gorgeous transformation! I love that you were able to make it so much more functional too! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Gorgeous & bright transformation!! Love everything!

Thanks so much 😉
Wow, Jamie! I’d love doing laundry in here too! I love the vintage laundry sign and the subway tile is gorgeous! Everything is, though! Where is your light fixture from? I love it!
Hi Kendra,
Thank you so much. I bought the light fixture from National Builder Supply online but I noticed it’s not on their website right now. It’s a Feiss Cage Pendant. I added a link to the post now!
Hugs, Jamie
This is stunning! I was wondering also where you purchased the light fixture? Also, are the cubbies custom built? I swoon over your blog often and this laundry room is no exception.
Hi Laura,
The light fixture is Feiss. I bought it at National Builder Supply but they don’t sell it anymore. I added a new link in my post. The cubbies were custom built.
Hugs, Jamie
So much better and so functional. Love what you did here. Looks great. Have a wonderful week end.
Kris
Aww, thanks so much, Kris!
Hugs, Jamie
Wow this is fabulous! I love it all and so functional! Beautiful job!
Thanks so much Mindi 😉
Jaime, your laundry room is fantastic! Looks like you have a ton of space! What a beautiful transformation!
Thanks so much, Tara 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Wonderful transformation! I love how the white brightened up the whole room. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Lauren 😉
Hugs, Jamie
I would never want to leave!! Stunning!!
Thanks Alli 😉

Oh my goodness PURE goregouesness! *Swoon!* I’m definitely jelly of your space – I have a 1970s stacked set that’s shoved in an alcove right next to the garage door. Definitely dreaming of wide open spaces and a mudroom combo like yours! So inspired 🙂
Oh thanks so much, Erica! I’m swooning over your blog right now 😉
Hugs, Jamie
A dream of a laundry room, and so much space ! Love your space.
Joy
Thanks so much, Joy 😉
Hugs, Jamie
I don’t have a laundry room. Instead, I have a laundry area in our small garage. The “before” pics are on my blog right now. It was a nightmare. I am in the process of making over the area. I have pretty new front loaders, I’ve painted, and a bit more. Still, I “envy” (in a nice way) your beautiful space. It is amazing!!! Love!
Best,
Michelle from simplysantabarbara.blogspot.com
Thanks so much, Michelle. It sounds like a wonderful start!
Hugs, Jamie
Jamie you always inspire my friend…I so love your laundry room and mudroom area- this is just amazing! Keep that inspiration coming! ox
You’re so sweet, Robin! Thank you so much 😉
Hugs, Jamie
It’s lovely Jamie!! Great job!
Thanks so much, Laura 😉
Woah! I’ve just gotta say, your laundry room is amazing!
Thanks Kyla 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Gorgeous, Jamie! I want your laundry room. x
Thanks Danielle. You’re welcome to use it anytime 😉
Hugs, Jamie
Love your pretty and pristine laundry room. I bet you truly enjoy doing laundry now.
I have been looking for metal laundry tin like the one you have on the top of the cabinets for so long. Where did you find yours? I love the openness of your laundry room as well as the subway tiled wall and granite counter top. Some day I’ll get to my little laundry area.
Thanks so much, Rebecca. Unfortunately I bought that years ago at Home Sense. It was a definite score.
Hugs, Jamie
Thanks so much for replying; I’ll just keep on looking.
Absolutely gorgeous! Would you come do mine?
No problem, Nancy! lol
Hugs, Jamie
Where is the pendant light from?!
Hi Jeanette,
I added a link to my blog post. I originally bought it at National Builder Supply but they don’t have it online anymore. I hope this helps!
Hugs, Jamie
