My mom just recently remodeled her laundry room and I have
been looking forward to sharing it all with you...
It turned out just darling!
But first, let me just say that this project was inspired by this lovely lady...
For those of you who don't know...this is Sarah Richardson
She has a couple of shows on HGTV called...
Sarah's House & Design, Inc.
My mom & I... we kinda love Sarah's designs...like A LOT!!
Her stuff is really, really great!
We also heart her trusty sidekick...Tommy!
These two make a great team & they are hilarious...
If you have never watched their show...you must!! (Just Sayin')
ANYWAY...
On to the Laundry Room Makeover...
My mom had seen an episode of Sarah's house (farmhouse) and saw where Sarah had decided to paint some doors blue. My mom loved the way the blue door looked with the white trim around it! This prompted my mom to want to try this color in her laundry room!
She painted her closet doors blue & then designed the rest of the room around this color!
I just love how it turned out!
(You will have to forgive the quality of some of these photos...there aren't any windows in this room...which means there is no natural light...which means not the greatest pics ever! Sorry!)
My mom got this little cabinet from my grandma & she decided to paint it blue as well....
Not only does it have a decorative purpose in the room, but it also has an organizational function! It houses her laundry detergent, fabric softener/dryer sheets, and lost socks...
I am loving this "LAUNDRY" sign she made for the room. It was a quick & easy project that made a big impact on the room! I will be posting a tutorial later next week to show you how to make one of your own!
Stay tuned!!
Shelf she already had & painted blue. Then added the mirror & a few decorative accessories!
Loving this little chair she bought at a thrift store & repainted! Again, it turned out just darling! Love the color & love the distressing! And that fabric flower pillow she made adds the perfect touch!
My mom has this "closet" area which my dad made for her. She hangs clothes up here before taking them & putting them away, but she also uses this area to house clothes that are out of season so that they don't take up space in their bedroom closet. This space also houses her laundry baskets, ironing board, etc. The baskets on the top hold various odds & ends. My mom said one of the basket actually holds her christmas dishes & she stores them in this closet between the holidays.
To hide this area, my mom made a curtain to
coordinate with the room and to serve as a door to this
"closet" area.
So that's the end of the laundry room tour!
What did you think?
Could you do laundry in a space like this?
As much as I despise laundry...
I think maybe, just maybe...
I could do some laundry in this room! :)
I'm linking up this room at....
It looks great! Love the painted doors!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and I LOVE it :) Cant wait to see your laundry sign tutorial. New follower :)
ReplyDeleteTonya, I love the laundry room. I could do laundry all day in a room like that. Your mom is the best.

What a great laundry room! Mine needs so much major help! YIKES maybe thats why I avoid that room of the house. Love love love Sarah Richardson...i could move into any of her rooms that she decorates!
ReplyDeleteGreat collage at the end of the laundry room tour as well.
Love the laundry room makeover! I have a tiny laundry room and I think that's where I'll try my first makeover. Great ideas :)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is a darling laundry room and I love the blue color. Looks like a soft blueish gray? That little cabinet from her mother is so cute. I'd love to have one of those. She did so good.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia ;)
That room looks great. I love the cabinet. It adds a decorative touch, yet it's functional. The "closet" idea is a fantastic idea.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful laundry room!! The colors are fabulous. So relaxing.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that it still functions too! Especially the closet in there! Who couldn't use more closet space. :)
The blue color you used is so nice. Very calming. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love it. I especially like the little chair and flower pillow.
ReplyDeleteHer laundry room looks adorable! I love that color of blue. What an uplifting place to do a not-so-uplifting chore. I would even enjoy doing laundry in there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to my party, my coke-lovin' friend!
And give your Mom a hug from me! :)

I think your Mom rocks the laundry room makeovers. I am in love with her laundry room. I want to sit in that gorgeous chair and talk to your mom while she does laundry. Okay, okay, I'll help fold :) Great job, Mom!!!
ReplyDeleteI heart Sarah Richardson too. She always does the neatest makeovers and remodels.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking laundry room and I love the colors you mom used!

Love your laundry room. It looks really nice. Doing laundry will actually be a fun chore if it is in this room. :)
ReplyDeleteI could probably motivate myself to do laundry in this room!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful laundry room! I love the colors and all the details that she added! That closet is a great idea and the fabric that she used is so pretty!! Love the laundry sign too, so cute!!
ReplyDeleteWell I'm your newest follower and this room is darling! I can't wait to see how she made the Laundry letters. I use letters everywhere. I love the color she used on the doors. What color did she use! All her details are fantastic. I love Sarah she has great style!
ReplyDeleteI linked up my laundry room too. Hope you can stop on by!

I love this room! Can you share the blue color name? And how to make that sweet pillow , I Love it. I just hopped over from shabby nest. And now I will look around for a bit.
ReplyDeleteI love the baskets full of laundry supplies and that closet area is such a great idea. I'm hosting We're Organized Wednesday through Saturday and would love for you to join the party if you get a chance.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the laundry room! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just love Sarah and Tommy and yes I watch every one of their shows! Also lovin' your mom's laundry room...looks fantastic! ~Deb~
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute laundry room! I am trying to figure out what to do with mine...it's so overwhelming! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do laundry in that room! I've seen a couple bloggers paint their doors in pretty colors and I have to say I really like the trend. I hope your mom loves her new space!
ReplyDeleteVery, very sweet laundry room! Good Job! Everything looks so nice and cleannnn...ooo,
ReplyDeleteI really like the white pitcher with the flowers in it, good touch and the small cabinet is just darling. A mother/daughter project is so much fun....join me at Mel's Cabin for some coffee and put your feet up to rest while you check out what I've been up to.
You guys did a great job! Love this color of gray!
ReplyDeleteThe room looks amazing, loving the cabinet and laundry sign! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI love watching Sarah and Tommy too. I get so inspired by her and love how funny he can be. Your Mom's laundry room is really nicely done. What a joy to do laundry in there now. Please stop by my blog for my giveaway!
ReplyDeleteAwesome laundry room, it's huge! Mine is more of a closet and barely fits my washer and dryer. Love the round pillow.
ReplyDeleteIt looks terrific! Love that blue paint color! Do you remember the paint name? I can't wait to makeover our laundry room. If ours looked as nice as your mom's, maybe I wouldn't mind the 4million loads I do every week.(ok, maybe not quite that many) Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLaundry room makeovers are near and dear to my heart, being in the process of one these last few months... Love the blue color your mom picked, and her accessories are so fun! Stopping by from MIFM at Cottage instincts. Such a fun party, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteVery soothing colors-what a pleasure to do laundry there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great room!!! Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteThis is so so beautiful. I am obsessed with this. Right now we do not own our home and our washer and dryer are in the kitchen. Blech! But this will surely be inspiration to me when I have a laundry room.
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! Your laundry room is beautiful! Love all your special touches. Color scheme is perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat job in the laundry room and I like your inspiration too! I linked this to my laundry rooms post today, come on over and take a peek!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by my blog! I appreciate your kind thoughts on my laundry room!
ReplyDeleteYour laundry room looks great. I wouldn't mind doing laundry at all in a room like yours! I love the colors you chose for this space. You did a beautiful job!!!
