This started when the need to move on from Blue and yellow was a must!
This laundry lacked functionality- it had no bench space, no cupboards. Just a small 2 door cupboard under sink.
We decided to go for an industrial style laundry with some much needed bench space and more storage.
We kept plumbing to same position, to keep costs down but added overhead and under bench cupboards. All Kaboodle products and hardware.
We included pull out draw for dirty baskets to slide out next to washing machine.
this top loader is multi function and is washer/dryer combo. Added some Bunnings penny tiles for splash back!
Materials
Kaboodle cupboards and base units/overheads. Darker doors (top cupboards) special order!

Tools
We used a tile cutter we already had.
Bunnings tools used were;
RYOBI 1500W 184mm Circular Saw,
Hole saw for tap mixer and plumbing - https://www.bunnings.com.au/craftright-16-piece-holesaw-set_p6372275
We also used Bunnings tile accessories, for wall and floor, and hardware tools for cabinetry.
Steps
Step 1
Removed old laundry cabinetry and started demo of old tiles. We took off villa board on walls and replaced with new.
then we water proofed room, and measured out Kaboodle cabinetry.
Step 2
Then waterproofed entire room, before installing new tiles
Step 3
We then had plumbing hooked up and finished cupboard install. Then grouted tiles, including splash back.
Step 4
Here is before and after
Step 5
Final result
Hello @Christie78
What a beautiful laundry transformation. The dark brown colours of the wall cabinets neatly contrast the soft benchtop colour, and the LED provides excellent lighting. My favourite part is the stencil that you placed above the tiles.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful project.
