After designing so many beautiful laundry rooms and mud rooms for clients, it was finally time for mine! I never liked my laundry to begin with! The choice of materials and lay-out have bothered me since day one.
In The Netherlands you don’t have big laundry rooms, maybe a converted closet with a stacked washer and dryer or spot on your landing. Most homes still have the washing machine in the kitchen.
Luckily my husband and I are a very experienced DIY-team. We love to remodel, and we know actually what to do and we have been doing this for the last 20+ years.
We choose a farmhouse style laundry home with beautiful materials that all match and a good lay-out that would make sense and even room for a drying rack. The old lay-out would only allow room for the door to open and have some room in front of the washer.
The design will still have a sink, but then it moves to the left. And the washer and dryer go next to the sink, creating tons of space in this room.
We will have a black sink with a black faucet and a white countertop. We purchased black sconces and the cherry on the cake will be a black chandelier! Finishing the room with encaustic tiles (a colored floor tile that forms a pattern) from Spain and white shiplap.
Over the winter break we have worked on the laundry room.
Demo is always the most exciting part, as you are tearing out an ugly design and weird lay-out.
Plumbing has to be moved from one side to the other.
Electrical has to be moved from one side to the other, and adding sconces.
The Designer hard at work, using all the power tools, so the husband can keep going. 
And then there was light…..
Now is waiting for the countertop installation and the last finishes.
The laundry room will be revealed after the Photo shoot.
