It wouldn’t block the walking path in the room and would just look a million times better. It worked out! I planned to create a modern barn door to slide right over this entrance. One man’s bi-fold doors is another man’s treasure.

So I ripped those out and sold them on FB marketplace. The bi-fold doors also bothered me because they stuck out in front of our garage door and just weren’t my fave. This room triples as our laundry room, mudroom, and pantry. And then I’ll sprinkle in some nice ceramics for plants and ma’ greens.

I love open shelving, but need some nice baskets/bins to organize all of the supplies and products that live here in this room. I love me a good waterfall counter and felt like keeping everything in a natural wood tone would match the rest of our house. There will be some cubbies for shoes, and a bench to sit on. Going for some built-ins on the one side with some lockers/shelves/hooks for bags and backpacks. We have to maximize every square inch of this space, but also make it something that I enjoy looking at. I created a little mood board to help me visualize how I wanted the space to look. There’s a traditional drain included in the hookup box, but we can also put the washer drain down this pipe and funnel out the wastewater to use to water our property. The long diagonal pipe that is behind the appliances is for greywater. I sanded all of the rough spots and gave everything a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore Simply White (what the rest of our place is painted in). In the above photo, you can see the progress after removing the sink, cabinets, and peeling away the tile. And I’m really happy with how much floor space was open to use after that decision!

So we decided to pull it out and cap off the pipes in the wall and then patch over it. It was rarely used and was just taking up valuable space in our tiny room. I was really excited about having one when we first moved in, but after living in this house for 4 years, I was totally ready to part with it. I know that people always say they love having a sink in the laundry room.

I posted pics of the appliances on FB marketplace and listed them for free (along the issues with them), and someone came and grabbed them and took them off our hands. This was basically the place where things went to die. Our shoes would sometimes just get thrown in a basket (and miss!) in the corner. When you’re walking through this small of a space, you need every door to open completely!!! The most frustrating thing happened to be that the corner cabinets that were actually hung over the machines were so large that they blocked the door partly and prevented it from opening all the way. Our ceilings aren’t high either and the ginormous upper cabinets really made this room feel cramped.

Keep checking in over there for updates in real time! When we were in the thick of the machine breakdown, I quickly snapped some photos to share what the room looked like and talked about my plans for it here in my IG stories laundry highlight. I’m going to apologize for the phone photography now. So here we go! Read on to see what we were starting with and my plans for the final look! Because we were getting new appliances, I knew that this would be the time to just tackle the makeover and finally get the room looking like I wanted it to and to match the aesthetic of the rest of our house. It wasn’t perfect, but it was a little better than what we had when we moved in.

If you go back to this quick weekend update post from way back when we first bought the house, you’ll notice I had done a simple update with some paint and stick on tile. Both of our appliances had been plugging along and were actually over 20 years old SO IT WAS TIME, but still! Paying for new laundry appliances wasn’t really on my list of to-do projects this year, but I had been wanting to tackle a laundry room makeover eventually. So back in May, our dryer finally gave out in our laundry room.
