Budget laundry room makeover - Before and After pics
Comments (37)Reader, the prints in the bathroom are called Serengeti I and II by Tandi Venter. The artist is from South Africa I believe. DH and I had the opportunity to go on a safari in SA with our church group a few years ago, and although these are just common art posters, they make me think of our personal trip. I bought the prints on eBay and made the frames out of door casing trim. They are fantastic posters, but the odd size made buying stock frames impossible (and custom was more than I wanted to spend ;-) Lynn, thanks so much for the kind words. I'm glad you commented on the cabinet color; I haven't seen many painted to blend with the walls, so I wasn't sure of the reception it would get. Those original cabinets are extremely sturdy and well built but didn't have anything going for them in the looks department. I wanted to downplay their appearance and size but maximize their function. It didn't hurt that using all one color allowed me to just spray on the paint willy-nilly, either!...See MoreLaundry Room Makeover
Comments (4)great space. if you look on Pinterest or here on Houzz, there will thousands of ideas. search, 'laundry rooms' or 'laundry room make over'. have no idea what style you like, so rather than posting 10 pics, narrow it down to something you like, then come back and post that if you need help getting to that point. I would start w/some updated lighting though. as for new cabinets, RTA would be ok in there. look for a stone remnant on craigslist, or a local stone fabricators shop. Determine if you want top or front loading. maybe a drop down ironing board, drying rack, etc....See Morehelp with laundry room cabinet paint color
Comments (2)I think iron ore will work fine in there. I have black in mine and it works out just fine....See MoreLaundry Room Makeover
Comments (6)I just saw that you prefer cool over warm colors. Your floor is really a mix of many warm grays. You could pull in some cool colors, but you’ll have to be careful that they work well together. One trick to mixing cool with warm is to go darker with the cool color. Here are some more choices. Maybe bringing in a rug that mixes warm grays (or beiges) with blues and green will help you find a jumping off point....See MoreMy House
