Been looking a lot actually.... and it would seem that there are several things I keep returning to....
- Front loading appliances
- White cabinets
- A vintage laundry sign of some variety
- Black & White photos and/or kitchsy laundry-esque art, including a fun clock like #1 above
- A counter (totally on the dream list falling in the category of someday... way down the line! Would be amazing to have a counter like #14.... it's an ironing board counter!!)
But the venetian pattern is perfect for that scale of room. Here's a photo of what the pattern looks like:
It's a 12" x 12" tile, the smaller sizes are the same tile cut in half or quarters. We really liked it in dusk travertine. It was tumbled. And gorgeous. Much like the photo above. And $14-20 a square foot. Now, if we lived in a custom house or in a different area and we were in our forever house? We would totally do that option. But we do not and we do not want to overbuild for our neighborhood or overspend for our unplanned laundry room renovation.
We loved the tumbled, hand polished look, but have decided not to go that route this time.... it makes it more expensive!
So instead we will be getting:
A natural stone...We have settled on a choice... I think. :) I'll be back to share a peek at it soon. (And it doesn't cost $14.95 a square foot either!!)
Darker in color...
With natural veining and/or some interesting details.
I also really liked these blog posts I found as I searched for ideas.... go check them out too:
- A happy vintage laundry room -- I must find some cool spray bottles like that!!
- A gorgeous laundry room -- Seriously, I'm in love with the ironing board counter...
- Organized cupboards -- Great inspiration for reorganizing the pantry portion of our laundry room! isn't the vinyl background fabulous?!
That is the hardest part...I want it all ... all the time! LOL! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeleteIt's a big project and will sure be nice when it's done. FYI: As for front loading washers, I know they're the in thing these days, but everyone I know that has them has funny smelling clothes. It's super gross. The washer doesn't dry out and mold grows in the seals, therefore making clothes smell icky...not fresh. Make sure you read some reviews of people wjo have had them for awhile.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to see!
ReplyDeleteI have seen some fabulous laundry rooms on some blogs too. These are good inspirations :)
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be amazing. Can't wait to see it come together. I'm really hoping to get a countertop in our next laundry area. But, it's in the basement, which I'm a little crestfallen about.
ReplyDeletei can't wait to see your finished and cute laundry room. i have a laundry closet, so it is smaller, but i have made it as cute as can be.
ReplyDeletehappy new year!
