Blah to Ooh La La Laundry Room

It has only taken me over a year but I finally got my laundry room updated.  First to go was the gray walls.  I am not fond of gray unless I am using it as decor pieces.

Here are some of the before pictures.  Please excuse the mess around the sink. 

 We needed to lower the cabinets by the washer and dryer as it was hard for me to reach.  As you can see they had been moved up and you can see the old color prior to the gray.

The walls went to a nice light brown color and the trim went off white.  A new sink and faucet were installed as well as a new counter top.  The cabinets were refinished and hardware was added.  This room is very small so it wasn't easy getting photos. 

New light.  Looks much better than the old fluorescent one.

 Close up of the new hardware for the cabinets.  The cabinets didn't have any before.

 I still need to find something to put above the sink area.  I am thinking that a nice shelf would do.

The beadboard back splash is actually wallpaper that is textured.  Here is how it looked before painting.

I thought is would be easier than trying to cut real beadboard.  The trim is wood and I painted, aged and polyurethane it.

I am very please with how this room turned out.  Now I enjoy doing laundry.
