It's DIY day over at Kimba's and I finally have something to post!! I recently updated our laundry room with some much needed fresh paint to cover some 70's wood paneling! We are still renting as we look for our first home and our awesome landlord said she'd pay for the paint if I wanted to do anything to the house!! And our laundry room was first on the list! She also is going to pay for laminate wood flooring in the laundry room and kitchen and my dad is going to put them in!! YAY! So goodbye ugly red floor!
And that's why if you notice I didnt paint all the way behind the washer and dryer and to the side of it, I'm going to wait till they move them out to put the floors in to paint there!
*Sorry for the bad pictures.

How's it look!? Much better, I think! I still need to put another coat on the closet doors and the door to the bathroom. I may try to find some cheap knobs to put on the cabinets too, they kinda look plain!
Thanks for stopping by, and don't forget to look at all the other links over at Kimba's!
What a great job making your laundry room more cheery!! You mentioned the hardward and I noticed your gold knobs on the doors. I have spray painted these and they turn out great- pewter might look good with that pretty blue!

That is an amazing change.. from dark and cave-like to charming and airy... great job!
ReplyDeleteHuge difference! WOW! Great job. Isn't paint incredible? Oh - and your blog photo is beyond awesome!
ReplyDeleteHow cottagey-looking! Paint truly covers a multitude of sins, eh? I had a paneled room in my last house that I painted pale blue with white trim...love that color combo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
peace.
wow! love the new colors. and your header makes me smile :)
ReplyDeletethe white did SOOOO MUCH, IT LOOKS GREAT! love the red floor too!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much bigger it looks. No more scary laundry monsters hiding in the dark corners! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so great, the colors really lighten the room!
ReplyDeletewow! isn't it amazing what a little paint can do?? great job. I love the blue.
ReplyDeleteLooks great--so much lighter and brighter! Check out my laundry room redo too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a transformation! I am envious of how much actual SPACE you have in there. We just have our W/D behind two doors, and there's no room even to stand. I love what you did and -- since I'm about to try to spruce up my own laundry nook -- I'm excited about the inspiration you've provided!
ReplyDeleteWow! It looks great! I am jealous! I wish I had a laundry room to make over! Haha! Thanks for stopping by my blog.. I look forward to becoming bloggy friends!
ReplyDeleteGirl, your landlord should pay you more than just the paint - that room turned out fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a difference!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I love the blue!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a huge difference. Now that we are saying "goodnight" to Christmas I'll be looking to take on some projects (with paint). Thanks for the inspiration. Really amazing difference.
