I had the pleasure of making over our friends’ laundry room while they were out of town for spring break. I’m really sad that I wasn’t there to get their reaction when they returned home but we had a baseball game. The phone call I received confirmed it. They loved the transformation!

Here is what we started with. Plain, beige, and boring.

And here is where we ended….

I helped them pick out Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams for their whole house and it looks great! It’s light enough to really brighten up the space but beige enough to not clash with the wood cabinets and brown in their granite countertops. That had this room painted before I started.

I added the shiplap, shoe moulding, and shelves. I did two coats of the blue paint, which was Calligraphy by Behr, at home beforehand. Once everything was installed, I filled the nail holes, sanded, and added a top coat of paint. I love the color. It’s dark and sophisticated. Not to mention, it matched perfectly with the floor.

They have big plans for multiple rooms in their home so they didn’t want to blow the budget on fancy floors in a room that no one will really see. That is why we decided to go with vinyl peel and stick tiles. Also, we were going right over linoleum, which is pretty smooth and flat. I don’t know if this flooring would have been a good choice over grouted tile. I think the indentions of the grout would show eventually. But for linoleum, it was perfect!

This room took me three days and about $500 in supplies. Not a bad trade for a “laundry room that looks like it’s out of a magazine” (said my client’s very critical husband). #win
