Well, I didn't think we'd ever say it, but we've finished our laundry! We never thought such a tiny room could cause so many grey hairs! Somehow this room (that is a quarter of the size of the bedroom we just completed previously) caused so many issues! The door frames were wonky, the trims were a nightmare... all the things that no one would ever notice but things Symon needed to take the time to fix before we could get started.
With 6 of us in our household, you can imagine there is a fair bit of washing, ironing and folding that takes place on a daily basis. After completing a large laundry renovation less than a year ago (let's just take a moment of silence to mourn the loss of such a lovely large room), I couldn't imagine moving from a large laundry space to this tiny corridor of a laundry and feeling very excited.
A view from the other side...
The look we were going for was the light scandi look with a few wooden, marble & rose/copper accents for fun.
We decided to keep the original tub to save costs, and cleaned up the tap ware, added some adhesive tiles and a tiny shelf for soap...
A few of my favourite things...
The wooden workspace Symon built over my dryer and washing basket (so practical and a great way to even up uneven appliances/items)...
The recycled cupboard (we've hauled these around with us for the last 11 years) that Symon added wooden doors to, to freshen them up...
My rose/copper baskets for storing my ironing in. No longer will piles of ironing stare at me from washing baskets...
My little trinkets that I collect from different places - most favourite would be my green fuzzy hippo planter and my retro laundry sign. Also, note the little marble jar...perfect for storing dryer lint until I get around to throwing it out (shhhh... that's just a secret between you and me!)...
