With the weeping tiles in, concrete going down as well as drywall going up, my very first genuine bit of reno’ing is lastly pertaining to a close. After months of dirt as well as dust as well as mess, I am putting the laundry space back together. It is a necessity, unlike the office I was so concerned with last week.

The bit kitchen area of Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa has been my working design for the south wall (where the machines were originally located, in spite of the inability to hook the dryer up for appropriate venting — who organized this thing the very first time?). Anyway, the size is about the exact same so I am riffing off this plan.

Shaker doors are a must, as well as just like this kitchen, my laundry space cupboard doors will be painted out, that exact same pale blue as the stairs. I’ll have a single shelf for all the bits as well as pieces. however with a beadboard backsplash and gooseneck faucet.

But the other side of the galley laundry space is the difficult part. I am split between machines tucked behind bifold doors which have been trimmed out in shaker panels to work with the south wall, or hidden behind a curtain such as this adorable laundry space shot from CountryHome:

As costs are mounting, maybe some low-cost Ikea panels will do the trick.

Here is where I started with this laundry room, so you can see exactly how far I have to go:
