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.
The cabinets were kept and just given a fresh coat of paint and handles updated.
I had my cabinet guy take out one lower cabinet and move the washer and dryer to the cabinet side.
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 machines were on this wall.
When I had the subway tile installed in our kitchen recently, I had them installed in here 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.

March 9, 2015 at 3:45 amBeautiful 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!
Jamie says
March 14, 2015 at 5:41 pmThank you so much! I know! So weird.
Hugs, Jamie
Katie @ Little House of Four says
March 9, 2015 at 5:05 amI 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!
Jamie says
March 14, 2015 at 5:44 pmThanks Katie, I love the space now.
Hugs, Jamie

March 9, 2015 at 5:30 amOk this is so bright and pretty! Maybe if my laundry room looks like this, I might do laundry more often???
Jamie says
March 14, 2015 at 5:14 pmI know, right? Maybe, haha
Hugs, Jamie

March 9, 2015 at 8:47 amPLEASE share where you found your laundry hamper! I love it!
Jamie says
March 14, 2015 at 5:15 pmOh Erica, I got it at Home Sense here in Canada 🙁
Hugs, Jamie
Erica says
April 13, 2015 at 7:21 amOh 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!
Jamie says
April 21, 2015 at 9:13 pmI 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.

Audrey Zumwalt says
March 9, 2015 at 12:29 pmBeautiful … love the cabinet top over the washer/dryer for folding clothes. I have a top loading washer, so not possible for me.
Jamie says
March 14, 2015 at 5:46 pmThanks Audrey. I love that spot too.
Hugs, Jamie
Erin Kay says
March 9, 2015 at 1:46 pmGosh, 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.
Jamie says
March 14, 2015 at 5:48 pmThanks 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

March 9, 2015 at 6:33 pmWow, what a fresh and inviting place to do laundry. I love the new layout. Makes so much more sense.

Kim says
March 10, 2015 at 9:15 pmWow 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!
Jamie says
March 20, 2015 at 8:53 pmOh 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

Kendra @ www.joyinourhome.com says
March 11, 2015 at 9:22 pmWow, 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!
Jamie says
March 20, 2015 at 8:55 pmHi 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
Laura says
March 12, 2015 at 12:36 pmThis 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.
Jamie says
March 20, 2015 at 8:50 pmHi 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

April 14, 2015 at 5:26 pmOh 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 🙂
Jamie says
April 21, 2015 at 9:19 pmOh thanks so much, Erica! I’m swooning over your blog right now 😉

Michelle Mortensen says
April 19, 2015 at 8:41 amI 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
Jamie says
April 21, 2015 at 9:21 pmThanks so much, Michelle. It sounds like a wonderful start!

May 12, 2015 at 11:00 amLove your pretty and pristine laundry room. I bet you truly enjoy doing laundry now.
Rebecca says
June 5, 2015 at 2:40 pmI 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.
Jamie says
June 12, 2015 at 11:26 pmThanks so much, Rebecca. Unfortunately I bought that years ago at Home Sense. It was a definite score.
Hugs, Jamie
Rebecca says
June 15, 2015 at 8:42 amThanks so much for replying; I’ll just keep on looking.
