We are finally all done with the laundry room makeover!
This was one of the more difficult makeovers we've done so far in our fixer-upper but it was a labor of love and the end results make it all worthwhile!

Laundry Room Makeover - Part 2
I have also created a video on my Youtube channel that shows the process we went through to get from where it was to here! You can watch it below.
This is what it looked like before.
We repaired and painted the walls, ceiling, and window trim. We removed the old cabinets and replaced them with open shelving. We removed the old vinyl flooring and rubber baseboards and put down a penny tile floor and new baseboards.
We had already removed the vinyl floor in this picture but then it sat like this for far too long!
Here is the new penny tile floor! 😍
This is the view toward the door that goes out to the backyard and pool.
It's surprising how much bigger, lighter, and brighter it feels!
Here is the transformation of the old hollow core door that was between the little bathroom and laundry room.
I decided to leave the back door natural wood since I'm bringing in other natural wood with the shelves and the sliding door details.
Here you can also see the trim I added to the door that leads into the laundry room. It's also a hollow core door so this really brings it up a notch and makes it look high-end!
We updated this old light just with a good cleaning and a new globe.
I found the over-the-door iron and ironing board hanger at Goodwill and I disguised the hot water heater with a thrifted Pier 1 curtain. I used the same technique at my last house, you can see those posts here:
To answer a frequently asked question... no, it's not a fire hazard to cover the hot water heater with fabric because this is a standard electric hot water heater, not gas. It does not get hot to the touch, nor are there any electrical connections around the outside of it.
What a difference! So much brighter and I love the new floor. Very clever update to the hollow core door as well. I love the unique MCM vibe of the wood trim.
What a big difference!! I love the penny tile and what a bonus to have a drain in the floor.
