Heights House Laundry Room Reveal

After two years of designing, DIYing, and mostly procrastinating… the wait is finally over! Our little laundry room is complete. This is how the 67″x90″ space looked for nearly three years after we moved in:

In early 2022, I found inspiration and came up with a design plan. We installed herringbone brick floors, and reeded glass window film on the pocket door.

We got a new stacking washer & dryer, painted the vinyl window, built custom cabinetry, found the well suited butcher block stain and built a clothes drying rack.

Over the last couple weeks, the doors have been built (tutorial coming soon!) trim and molding installed, and all the final touches. Today, I am thrilled to finally share our finished and functional laundry room!

Originally I had a different wallpaper selected, but during the 18+ month project delay, I came across another option and instantly fell in love. This design feels much more sophisticated, and the colors coordinate beautifully with our adjacentliving room.

As our family has grown, kitchen storage has become a challenge and we have found ourselves needing more cabinet space. With our laundry room's close proximity to the kitchen, the plan was always to design it as a multi-purpose pantry/additional storage room.

With those needs in mind, we maximized the small footprint to include floor to ceiling cabinetry, along with a beverage fridge and dedicated home for a self-cleaning cat litter box.

Now, we have more than enough space to store all of our cleaning supplies, less frequently used kitchen gadgets and overflow pantry items.

I still cannot get over how unfussy these doors were to make, and how high end they feel. Adding flush filler pieces and a custom DIY toe kick to give the illusion of inset cabinetry is a trick we repeated from our Hacienda kitchen.

The LG washtower has been a game changer. The stacked layout is much more efficient for our small space, and the center control panel makes everything easily accessible. 10/10 would recommend!

I sourced reasonably priced unlacquered brass hardware and aged them a bit with salt and vinegar. I am loving the vintage touch those cabinet latches add.

This renovation has been a long time coming, but so worth the wait!
