Pretty laundry room inspiration!
Ta da! Introducing my new laundry room!
For the first time ever, I will have a real laundry room! I feel so grown up! It is not very big or fancy, but it is a real laundry room with a window! And a little closet! On the second floor right by all the bedrooms–not in the basement!
Just thought I’d give you a sneak peek and some inspiration photos…more to come soon little chickadees! Back to packing for me! Gah!
Now that is the most logical location and such good planning on somebody’s part. Did you see http://cherryhillcottage.typepad.com/cherryhill_cottage/
post yesterday about perking up the laundry room? I just so happen to have some vintage boxes…too bad my laundry room is in the basement.

Oooh, it’s gorgeous. I have laundry room envy. Mine is just a pass-through from the garage filled with hampers and bins of dog food. But will it make doing the laundry any less of a chore?

I miss having a laundry room, and if I had one of these beautiful ones I would ENJOY doing laundry! We had very nice laundry rooms in our last two houses…..but in this house, I have to go to the basement to wash clothes. Oh well….I guess you make some trade-offs when you move!
Lucky you….that laundry room of yours is very nice

Those are fantastic inspiration pictures. I’m so excited for you and your new laundry room. What I wouldn’t give for one–we just have a laundry closet that doubles as our pantry for now. Yuck.
And thanks for the office post yesterday–I printed out the picture of that closet. I intend to use it as inspiration as I tackle organizing our own office closet today!
Those are beautiful examples of laundry rooms – especially yours because it’s upstairs near the bedrooms. That’s a stroke of genius that was probably first implemented by a woman.
I have a small laundry room in this house but when we build our retirement home I want a large laundry room/butler’s pantry. The first picture is kind of what I’m looking for.

Oh, Melissa, you’ll absolutely LOVE your Laundry Room ~ it’s so cute!!!
When Tom and I moved to this house…this is the 1st time I had ever had a Laundry Room! Mine has a window, too! I just love it! It’s actually like a Butler’s Pantry, cuz I have a hutch with cabinets and drawers on one side, cabinets above the washer and dryer and a closet!
~New Year Blessings,

I was so happy when we found the house we’re in now, with a laundry room NOT in the basement! Do you have any idea how big the spiders get down there???

Perfect timing! I was just looking at my laundry room yesterday….wondering what I could do differently! Great ideas….thank you for this post! Good luck with decorating yours! ~Cheryl

Oh Melissa…I’m so envious! Cabinets (with handles) and a sink? Please tell me you have a counter top for folding… I am dying to hang cabinets in mine and am secretly waiting for the day my washer and dryer go kaput, so I can buy new front loading ones. I want a stainless steel counter top! I also want a place for the ironing board to live permanently opened.
Ahh, thanks for the pictures. Are you in the new place yet?

I love them all…..but where for the love of fabric softener is all the laundry?!?!? Laundry room clean-out is always on my ‘to-do’ list.

Green with envy…. all I have is a closet (doors hiding my washer and dryer)…. I lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggg for an actual laundry room!
Susans inspiring blog post..Tablescape Tuesday
Oh Melissa! I am so envious! My “laundry room” is a pass through from the garage to the kitchen. There is no room for a chair or anything else and it does not have a window at all. A dark cave is what it is. I can’t wait to see how you work your magic on that beautiful room~
Hugs,
Penny
this really makes me want to dress up my laundry room! thanks for the inspiration!
leslies inspiring blog post..Totally Awkward Tuesday
Yes perfect timing…My plan was to put new flooring, paint walls and tile the counters of ours this week. Hmmm. Haven’t even folded all the laundry yet! Great insp pics…and yours will fit right in when you do it up!!

What beautiful rooms–envy–yours included. I have more of a laundry closet-no window and not much room. BUT it is better than doing laundry in the garage as I had to do in the past!

SO COMPLETELY JEALOUS!! I never used to mind laundry til I had to go to the nasty basement to do it. Maybe I’ll just hang these pictures down there and pretend that’s what mine looks like!

I should post a picture of my LR ( it’s not even a room, it’s just an opening) and then you would know why I said what I did in your last post.
I cannot hardly bear to look at these lovely vignettes.
I am sure yours will be magazine worthy when you are finished designing.
I cannot wait to see.
My goodness, those laundry rooms are gorgeous! Mine is down in my unfinished basement…a very far cry from those pictures.
Yours looks wonderful!

Thank you for showing us your laundry room… those photos were about to give me a real complex about mine! I cannot wait to see how you make yours a place to WANT to do laundry!

I know how happy you must be. I have never had a laundry room either, it’s on my dream list for the next house! Right now my laundry is in the basement, aka the “dungeon”
Kathys inspiring blog post..Year in Review
Love all the inspiration on the laundry room ideas. I wish mine were a seperate room mine is on the way to the garage so it is more of a hallway. Obviously a man must have designed it. LOL

A BIG ole laundry room, what a dream!! I am jealous of the photos above, I love them all! funny how we spend so much time in the laundry room we crave a pretty place there too!
Enjoy your new ROOM!
Main floor laundry is a must! Can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Nicols inspiring blog post..New house, new me?
WOW i was just writing my sister about having her come over to help while i tackled my laundry room. well, closet. and not a walk -in. and not upstairs by the bedrooms. yes, i have a good sized house, with NO laundry chute, and no laundry room. (one of the many “design features” that is questionable) just a closet with bifold doors and a shelf. BUT i am inspired to make it better and thank you for the many photos with ideas i can adapt to my situation.
YOUR laundry room looks beautiful to me. cannot wait to see the rest of the new abode. prayers for a smooth transition and blessings on you in the new year!! jkj
Of all the rooms on my list of projects, the laundry room was overlooked. Hmmmmm….one more project for the long, long list!

Oooooo, I especially love the first picture. I can’t imagine having enough room for a chair in my LR. In my last house you could see the LR when you walked into the house, so of course, I had to make it cute. I don’t think I took good pictures, though. My girls used to make fun of me. I even would show visitors my LR. In this house, it’s little, upstairs and undecorated as of yet. Maybe that should be on my ’09 plan? Blessing and safety on your move and readjustment.

Goodie!! A place for laundry:-) You’re gonna love it. In my dream house, mine is in my closet with a TV and couch.
FYI: I’m going to Blissdom! Yeah! Can’t wait to meet you.

Your laundry room looks wonderful (even empty). Mine is in the basement with insulation and wood beams….woo hoo…but I am thankful to have a washer and dryer. Pretty may come some day, but practical isn’t so bad. I hope the packing/unpacking goes smoothly for you.

Oh man! Seeing all those lovely laundry rooms makes me see even more aware of how much I need to get mine straightened up. It’s just a mess. I tend to neglect it. Doing laundry for 6 people in the house, I tend to get a bit lazy on occassion. Thank you so much for the inspiring photos for it gives me that boost to get my rear in gear.:) I’m sure that yours is going to be so great when your done with it.:)
Oooh, I wish I had any of the laundry rooms. That garage I have gets pretty bleak in rainy weather. Hope I get one in my new house.
Congrats! That is awesome! We have a laundry room {ish}. I wish I could make it pretty! It also houses our pantry and is the entrance from the garage…if only I had a little more space. Hmmm. Your inspirations photos have my wheels turning. Thanks! Happy packing!

I can totally relate and am genuinely happy for your real laundry room – I want one! I loved the pictures and can only imagine what it would be like to have a laundry room like the first photo! It’s nicer than my living room
Have a great day Melissa.

I am thankful I don’t have to do laundry in a basement! But our washer and dryer is out in the unfinished garage. So it’s kind of the same only not down a flight of stairs!
Eventually we will turn a portion of the garage into a schoolroom for the boys and I want to make the laundry area into a little closet or something. That will be a while because it is NOT in our budget right now 
Your laundry room is beautiful and a window too! Almost makes laundry less of a necessary evil…almost.

Hi Melissa! January is the perfect time of year to focus on a brand new slate, and the laundry room certainly is part of that fresh start. Love your new laundry room, and you’re going to love having it on the same floor as the bedrooms. Mine is located there, too, and it makes such a huge difference! Thanks for the sneak peek, and I continue to hope all goes smoothly for you this week! ~Arleen
Yay! Can’t wait to see what you do with it. I’m currently thinking about a makeover on mine. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Ooh! I love your laundry room–I love the windows in it!! Even though it’s small and not fancy, it’s my dream laundry room–with windows, cupboards, sink and a closet.
aubreys inspiring blog post..I Have Big News
Hi, I visit your blog often, but hardly ever comment, but thought I would today. I can identify with not having a laundry room. I had to do mine in a cold garage which was 9 miles from where I lived for 3 years before I finally got one…I love it now! So good for you. If you would like to see mine, I posted it on HGTV’s rate my space ….you can go to

Yeah! I love it! Check out your gorgeous cabinets! That window is great too. I can’t imagine being able to look out a window while doing laundry. Right now, I look at the water heater and furnace. So pretty… and in the perfect location. That just makes so much sense.
Congrats!
PS – Don’t forget to get a washer and dryer!

Oh, I’ll bet you can’t wait to wash some clothes in that cute little room
And I know you’ll make it all pretty like those inspiring photos! Hope the move is going well…HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Oh MAN, what i wouldn’t give for a laundry room like that! It might even make me want to do my laundry sooner! I love the one with the red and white wallpaper. Congrats on your very own laundry room!

Lucky, lucky you to have a laundry room. I have laundry room envy. Mine is in the garage and as I have posted photos of my garage in the past you can understand that it is a scary uninspiring place! Rachaelxo

I have a fairly decent sized laundry room- but it needs some major help. Thanks for the inspiration- I like what I see of your new laundry room- especially the color.
Very nice. A laundry room not in the basement is a VERY GOOD THING. Good for you!

omg they are beautiful. I had a small laundry room off the kitchen in my first house…but this house the washer and dryer are in the basement. Its sort of finished off, we have a diningroom set, fridge, and bathroom down there, but i HATE going up and down the stairs with laundry!
