This Urban Grace laundry room was our jumping off , both my husband and I love it .
I think our laundry room is a combination of these two , the one below is from Canadian House and Home.
I am still plugging away improving our little laundry room. I have always dreamed of having an actual laundry room , this is my very first one and it has almost everything that I longed for and I'm very happy to have it.
I have completed the upper cabinets as far as the painting and details go. Remember the cabinet on the right is the one we re-located from the kitchen , turned out to be a great move.
There is still lots to do like tile, build a lower sink cabinet and counter to extend over the washer and dryer.
Turns out I had just the right baskets for my shelf just laying around , these are from Ikea .
The coat closet to the left of the sink was redundant , our front hall closet is more than sufficient for our needs. I did not plan on us using this narrow laundry room as a main entry , I think that would make for one messy laundry room. So my plan was to re-configure it into a pantry closet instead, more storage is always a plus.
First I removed the sliding closet doors that just got in my way. I plan to build two narrow doors for this closet, I priced out 8Ft doors to fit this closet that match our other doors , the price of those special order doors is $170 each , um no way . The upstairs closet doors are going to be $50 each , how can two little doors be $170?
I know it looks a little rough right now. I added a second shelf above the one standard shelf and removed the hanging bar. I used MDF shelf pieces to create a tower to hold these baskets I picked up last week. I will be adding trim and details to pretty it all up .
I found these labels at Staples they are Martha Stewart the whole line of stationary is so adorable.
This is one of my favourite features in the laundry room.

This has been a great room for the dogs , they get fed in here out of the way , and I think they prefer it this way. I am planning on doing perhaps board and baton or tall beadboard to this wall and adding hooks.
I found this basket and its perfect for my drying paint brushes.
So things are moving along nicely.

This is looking so good! My laundry room is small too. It is the pass through area from the garage to the rest of the house. I at least have a small walk in closet to house the dirty clothes, vacuums, cleaning supplies and the abundance of shoes. We just hung hickory cabinets over the washer and dryer. Need to add the crown molding. We are doing some bead board on the walls as well.
Thanks for sharing! I have also had your two inspiration laundry rooms in my "file" for later. I love what you are doing with yours and I'm sure I will be pinning it when you are finished!
It's really coming along! I love your inspiration. I wish I had more than a laundry closet.
