Laundry Reveal and a Barring

Yay!  Today I get to show you the reveal of the laundry room.

Last Friday I posted a last-minute post about how we should paint the laundry room.  We decided to go for the bar in the kitchen and move the cabinets to the laundry room.

Well, after all that, I didn’t really go with any options from the post.

After seeing the pictures, several people suggested tying in colors from the picture on the kitchen wall.

I was trying to step away from the gold/green/red combo but the truth is I live well with those colors.  I’m sorry I can’t have a white and blue cottage house, Internet designers!

 

Alright, here are the befores again:

 

Please forgive all the weird angles.  It’s a REALLY hard spot to photograph well. 

 

Here are the afters!

 

 

 

 

I’m really, really happy with it.  The past few days I’ve been trying to find things to wash just to have the doors open and enjoy the new view.

Just in case you love green and red too, the cabinet and shelf colors are Crushed Cumin and Fireside by Valspar from Lowe’s.  The Fireside comes in one of those ready-made samples for just $3. I’d love to give you the wall paint but it’s the same as our kitchen and was a color match from when we painted years ago.

I’m still thinking about putting some vinyl lettering on each of the doors like “wash”, “dry”, “fold”, “iron” but I haven’t found the right red yet.  Maybe more to come on that.

 

So we finished that on Saturday and then I went to the office this week and the wall disappeared for the bar….

We are still deciding on how much more to take out from that side wall and we have to carefully remove where the backsplash is.

Emma is excited to eat at the bar and Lexi has literally started hoarding food in her room because she won’t forgive us and is planning to live in her room the rest of her life.  Ah, can we say dramatic?

In any case, IT’S HAPPENING and I for one am loving all the changes!
