I’m so excited about my laundry room now that I’ve finally started. I had to get the house looking a little Christmasy. Madison was starting to feel like we were the holiday Humbugs. We’ve really been skimping on decorations and celebrations this last year and a half. Now — Christmas is on. So is the laundry room.
I moved gigantor and giganta (my new nicknames for my washer and dryer) BY MYSELF yesterday and ripped out that crappy shelf. In the process the shelf fell on my head and now I’m adding a hard hat to my Christmas Hint list –but that is all beside the point.
I want my room to be light and bright. Someone commented somewhere that “Wow, she really loves white” and it’s true. White is my favorite color. (I don’t want to hear abut white not being a color!)
I initially had it in my head that I HAD to have a red sink but I couldn’t find one I liked for a price I wanted to pay so then I thought I’d paint the cabinets red…and then I got over red altogether. A little goes a long way.
The laundry room is the perfect place to do something fun and whimsical! Get crazy if you feel like it!

Just came home from IKEA yesterday with my laundry room cabinetry. All white. (I don’t have time to build them). Since the ceilings are 9’9″, I will have 2 banks of 30″ cabinets stacked on top of each other. Can you say a whole wack of storage (102″ wide by 60″ tall!). And I came home with butcher block countertop that I intend to stain dark. Still not sure on the paint color for the walls but I might do a pale aqua. Love all your inspiration photos! Thinking that my laundry room will look nice after all but more than likely not nearly as nice as yours! Plus you will make everything from scratch and that is just heads and tails above IKEA!
I’m so excited to see your house done Chantelle and have to say that Ikea has really nice cabinets. AND, they’re done!
Something is wrong with your blog. The right hand column is covering up part of the left hand column, so I’m not able to read your entire blog entry.
A word of advice. What ever else you do, get a top load washer. I sprang for a top of the line front load a few years ago and I hate it. The clothes are in a horrible tangle, not clean and after one year things started to smell moldy. The moldy smell was resolved by adding a 1/4 c. of Borax to every load. Can’t wait till it breaks down and I can replace it.
I also LOVE WHITE…it is my favor COLOR!!!!!! It’s timeless, classic and anything and everything goes with it! I have my W&D stacked and LOVE it!!!! It makes perfect sense and saves space….I always find it interesting that most laundry rooms don’t have stacked W&D….I believe they truly are missing out…good luck and I can’t wait to see the progress and most of all the reveal! You are an inspiration!
