The Laundry Room Before:
Unfortunately I did not take very many before pictures of the laundry room. There was actually a very large hot water heater and a closet taking up much of the space. We installed a tankless hot water heater and removed the closet to make the space feel bigger.
The original controls for the washer and dryer were exposed and the floors were a lovely shade of green in a linoleum finish. There was actually a second layer of vinyl flooring below it.
The After:
We wanted to make the most of our space. By installing a front load washer and dryer, we were able to add a countertop. The countertop is the same metal used on roofing. We actually had a roofing company cover the top in metal. It is a great look and very functional for the space!
The flooring is a porcelain tile called concrete. We really love the look!
By adding a rolling cart, we can easily slide it out of the way when not in use. It is also stylish enough to leave in the room even when guests are over.
The doors on this piece are functional and add great storage for any extra supplies needed. This piece was in an old gas station garage. I refinished it in a distress white finished and added the label holders. I can easily label each door to access items quickly.
A magnetic board and 3 baskets allow for additional storage and display. I love to add the picture magnets the kids make at school.
The finger holes make opening the doors very easy
The final touches help with additional storage. Three buckets allow for clothes pins or other easy access items. The nine drawer tabletop piece keeps makers, pencils, glue.....neatly tucked away.
An extra large mason jar is a great place to place loner socks that may or may not find a match.
The bulletin board makes it easy to post schedules, art work, awards, and reminders.
Having a mudroom area does not always have to be a large area. A few hooks for backpacks works well for us.
