Country laundry makeover

We renovated our laundry to make it a more functional space with work benches and plenty of storage.  We made the room smaller by extending the wall where the toilet entrance was. This would then have toilet in the bathroom instead, making it have a larger space instead. 

Materials

Kaboodle Cabinets

Shiplap pine lining boards for the ceiling

Bunnings Tasmania Oak bench tops

VJ wall panelling 

Decor8 tiles

Re: Country Laundry Makeover

Hello @danipaley 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing the details of your country laundry makeover.

 

It looks so relaxing and wonderful. The tiles and benchtop really complement one another. I see that you've really thought this through, especially when it came to your broom cupboard. Storing the hand vac and pet food in separate areas is an excellent idea. The flooring looks fantastic, it must put a smile on your face whenever you pass through.

 

Again, thank you for sharing such a fantastic makeover.

 

Eric
