Classic Modern Laundry Room Reveal

Another week almost gone. This week has been extra extra crazy, but in a good way this time thank goodness!!! Yesterday we celebrated AddieBelle’s 9th birthday (HOW oh HOW did that happen?!?), she also had two doctor/ortho appointments this week, they each performed (majorettes) in a basketball game Tuesday night and tonight they are both in our local town Christmas parade. Yep, life with kiddos is a whole new level of crazy but it’s the crazy that I love most.

Today’s “Our Historic Wonderland” room reveal is a room that I love to hate the most… the laundry room. Just to give you a quick update, here are the rooms I have revealed thus far (click to view the post): the Living/Dining Room, our Master Bathroom, Addison’s Bedroom “Suite” and the Master Bedroom Suite.  So back to the laundry room… I loathe laundry. It’s the chore that never ever ever ends. So this time around I was determined to make our laundry room a space that I didn’t mind spending a little time in. Or like 20 hours a week. In our last home I never revealed the laundry room because it was dark, small and ugly. Like for real. And this time it tried reeaaalllly hard to be that way once again because it was originally in the BASEMENT. Ugh. I would have NEVER done laundry if that were the case! There was a dumb waiter that went from the basement laundry to the original kitchen up to the original master bathroom but once we completely re-arranged the floorplan, it bit the dust. We thought about keeping it because it just sounded cool (LOL) but once the master bathroom became Winter’s bedroom, an indoor “elevator” no longer sounded quite so charming.

I tried super hard in the very early days of our OHW restoration to think about how I wanted the home to function most. I made list after list of everything I had always wished we had in previous homes as well as things that didn’t work for us. And a bright, convenient and spacious laundry room always ranked pretty darn high. Once we did away with the downstairs bedrooms and made it our master suite, we were left with an “extra” bathroom at the back of the house off of our new master closet. Perfect spot for a laundry room if you ask me! Plus, it’s right off of the new mud room which I will reveal soon! Post contains affiliate links.

BEFORE…

So here’s what we did…

1. First, we removed the toilet room framing from the original bathroom to create a larger room.

2. We re-ran all electrical, all HVAC and restored the original windows.

3. Spray foam insulation.

4. Sheetrock.

5. We installed beautiful thick molding on the baseboards, crown and windows! Read more about that HERE… “Trim, Ceilings and Moldings Oh My!“

6. Paint! Read more about that HERE… “Paint, Paint and More Paint…“

    Woooow! I love that tile! My laundry room is in our basement and I hate it. Although, it could be worse… I could not even have a place to do laundry and have to go to a laundromat. So I can’t really complain. I love this laundry room!

      Oh and it wasn’t really even a “laundry room”. It was a hook-up next to the a/c unit and water heater in the crawl space section of the basement. Old home thing I guess!

    I love your laundry room! The tiles are so pretty as well as the functional island/cabinet! I hope you’ll enjoy doing laundry more and more in that space. My offer still stands though that I will gladly do your laundry for a week (or more) if you can fly me out just to see your OHW! LOL!

    Love it!!! I wish I had done a hanging bar in mine like that. I’lol check back with you in a year and see how much you like it and if it functions how you’d planned. 😉 Love that you did light tile on the floor, makes it seem almost like a happy room. LOL

    The laundry room is so beautiful and functional. I love the pull out hampers, I have been trying to come up with a way to add them in my very small laundry room to keep the never ending piles off of the counter which then just makes the whole laundry room look a mess which in turn makes me hate doing laundry that much more!! If possible could you share how this was done?

When perusing antique malls for an old wood table When perusing antique malls for an old wood table becomes an album cover shopping trip turned gallery wall 💿 Ab and I spotted these fun, colorful covers while out one day and thought it just might be the perfect finishing touch in our historic fixer upper family room! With rose gold frames from @frameiteasy and a rather impromptu hanging method, this wall turned out to be the easiest, most colorful and fun project yet in our little brick cottage. P.S. Speaking of impromptu, John’s final addition looks rather staged but for Ab and I, we literally had NO CLUE it was coming and once Ab zoomed into the videos, we were dying 🤣🤣🤣 Oh John and his plants!
Ab here🖤… dropping in with a little update!! Ab here🖤… dropping in with a little update!! Watching old videos reminds me just how far this little house has come. My sweet dad helping me lay sub floor in the middle of summer after a long work day (which is just the TIP of the iceberg when it comes to the hours he put in on this house), the dance parties to keep from crying, and the bitter sweat memories of that year 💛 I have been DREAMING about this tub for quite some time, and @signaturehw brought all of those dreams to life.  I’m just so stinking thankful. It is seriously the most beautiful tub I’ve ever seen... So much so that we have another gorgeous copper tub, from Signature, going in this week at a clients house! Where are my girls, who love a moody space, at???🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🖤
Let's chat hardwood flooring... beautiful, durable Let's chat hardwood flooring... beautiful, durable, pet friendly, kid approved, scratch-and-dent resistant, germ resistant, worry free and practically indestructible… hardwoods by @bruceflooring that have no added chemicals, are engineered for high traffic and have a commercial strength warranty. Yep, that option actually exists, and yes, it is made in the USA with 100% real hardwoods.  For all of the reasons listed above, I chose #Dogwood Engineered Hardwoods by #BruceFlooring in Sattler White Oak for our historic renovation and they turned out STUNNING! *TAP TO SEE THE FAMILY ROOM RENOVATION PROGRESSION* After once joking that I needed a hardwood flooring color that matched Cheerios crumbs, I've kind of stuck with that color-selection motto ever since, and they never disappoint! Lighter hardwoods (like this Dogwood by Bruce in Sattler White Oak) hide all the crumbs while keeping spaces light, bright and airy, (even with dark wall colors). Today on the blog, I’m sharing many more images and even more details! #sponsored
Who else loves pizelles??? I’ll be honest, these Who else loves pizelles??? I’ll be honest, these are a more recent discovery since marrying into an Italian family but they were an instant hit! They’re a traditional Italian waffle cookie that’s super easy to make with a CucinaPro Piccolo Pizzelle Baker and they can also be made into so much more… from ice cream sandwiches to cannolis! John’s favorite dessert is cannolis and this makes them super easy to make while Winnie loves a good ice cream sandwich and Addie and I usually go for the chocolate dipped with powdered sugar 😋 They’re incredibly simple and look way more impressive than the actual skill level which is perfect for me! 😉 Mix it up, press them cooked in 50 seconds and BOOM! Sharing the recipe and a few of our favorites ways to prepare them. P.S. the @Cucina.Pro pizelle baker is available on Amazon and I’ve linked it in my bio!

Simple White Hallway… BROUGHT TO LIFE ♥️ Wha Simple White Hallway… BROUGHT TO LIFE ♥️ What if quite possibly one of the most forgotten spaces in your home could become pure magic?!? After quite literally carving out this hallway amongst bedrooms for the new floor plan we gave our historic fixer-upper, I knew I wanted to make the new archer hallway a STAR! It’s the center of the entire home and can be viewed from pretty much every single room. First was the installation of this incredibly beautiful mural by @belartestudio last week and then today the three pendants I spray painted over the weekend. Who knew a hallway could be my favorite space in a home! 🥰 Linking the mural and the pendants on stories tonight!
When you fall in love with a mural and it inspires When you fall in love with a mural and it inspires an entire home 😍… Yep, one look at this @belartestudio landscape mural and the color story for our historic fixer upper came to life! Add in the fact that wallpapering together is mine and Ab’s friendship love language and it’s the project of our design dreams ♥️ Seriously though, you have GOT to see all of the @belartestudio beauties. We’ve already used several of their papers in design projects (sneak peeks at one will be on stories tomorrow!) and I keep trying to invent a use for one in our home too. They’re all STUNNING!!! P.S. Ab and her sound effects were ON POINT for this one! 🙌🏻🤣🥰
If our kiddos formed a band and needed an album co If our kiddos formed a band and needed an album cover 😉 Back in 2021, Ab @abigailbradl3y “took our kiddos to dinner” but instead snuck in the most incredible surprise photo shoot as a wedding gift. The images by @brianingramphoto were beyond STUNNING and we finally got around to framing and hanging one of my very favorites. Two years later 🤦🏻‍♀️ A true work of art that I will absolutely cherish forever and ever! Especially considering three of our four are off to college in what feels like no time 😭 P.S. All of the vases and florals are from @addisonswonderlandboutique and I’ve detailed and linked everything on the blog! Happy Weekend 💗💗💗
Already making a jot list of all the things that’ll get your kiddos off their devices and out the front door this Summer? I packed four Gel Blasters for Spring Break and they were a HIT! Kinda sorta almost more than the beach 🤦🏻‍♀️ Not even kidding when I say I think they went through more than 30,000 Gellets. In seven days. We loved them so much I got y’all a link (linked in my bio) and a discount code (BRITTANY10)! P.S. The Gellets are non-toxic and start to dehydrate after contact. Believe me… I wouldn’t have chanced messing up the backyard of our Spring Break Airbnb if they didn’t disappear quickly! #gelblaster #goplay #GelBlasterPartner
