Our laundry room was one of the first rooms to be renovated. I really wanted a bold transformation that included all my favorite farmhouse inspiration. I also need it to be functional since I spend most of my life in this room. Laundry really is a never ending cycle in our house! 

This is the only “Before” shot that I have but you’ll still be able to see most of the changes.

A large folding space is a must for me to separate out everyone’s clothes as I fold. So one of the first changes we made was removing the space where the refrigerator had been.

Luckily, we were able to leave the cabinets the way they were. We extended the countertop to the wall and then added a clothes rack under the cabinets. We left the space under this section open for storage. I found this adorable rolling laundry cart and it fit perfectly. It was meant to be!

The next thing that I knew we would have to change was the washer/dryer pedestal. I don’t have front loaders and I didn’t plan on buying new ones so we had to remove the pedestal. I feel like it made the laundry room look so much bigger. That may all be in my head but I’m going with it! 

The tile that we chose for our laundry room might just be my favorite tile in the whole house. I almost didn’t choose it because I thought it might look too busy. I also didn’t want it to clash with our bathroom and kitchen. I’m glad I got over that and just went for it. It really makes this room stand out. Bonus: It doesn’t show dirt! Yay!!! 

Even though I wanted a bold transformation, I also really wanted all our rooms to flow well together. The shiplap and countertops do this for our home. We have the same countertops in the laundry room, the kitchen and all of our bathrooms. They’re so pretty and super durable. You can check out our Farmhouse Master Bathroom Renovation to see how everything looks together in there.

We also have shiplap in all the bathrooms and around the fireplace. So adding shiplap in here just seemed right. I love how these details and our paint colors really make our house feel like it all fits together. 

Because functionality is so important, the sink was a nonnegotiable. I did look into cute farmhouse sinks like the one in our kitchen but I didn’t really think those would stand up to everything we would subject this one too. This sink is used for washing everything under the sun! You name it and it’s probably been washed in our laundry room sink. Dogs, kittens, kids, husbands, and the list goes on…. All I’m saying is, I don’t regret not getting the pretty sink. 

Once all the renovations were complete and we got everything moved in, it still felt a little bare. The space above the washer and dryer in particular looked really naked. We had talked about continuing the cabinets but decided against it. Instead we decided on open shelves. Chad took on this little DIY project on his own. I’m so in love with how they turned out. They are the perfect contrast to the white shiplap and cabinets. I will probably paint the hardware black later on but Mama’s done for now. I’ve also already restyled the shelves several times and I can assure you that I probably will again. Listen, I can accept that I have a problem  😜

The open shelves are exactly what this space needed. I think I could get used to doing laundry here everyday…maybe.
