Step 1

Step 1 was to seal the bricks , it is a dark space as the laundry is under the home , bulls eye paint is amazing! , and vivid white top coat! Alot of painting was involved with this project...alot!

A false walls was built to house all electrical and plumbing so we didn't have to drill into brickwork. And the walls were not exactly straight.

Walls were lined with plaster board and waterproofed VJ board installed 

Cabinetry was built and installed and finally bench and tiling began

Hello @a73gal 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your laundry renovation project.

This renovated laundry room looks fantastic! The combination of rustic elements, like the sliding wooden door and the exposed wooden beams, adds a warm and cozy charm to the space. The sleek countertop and modern appliances blend seamlessly with the natural wood textures, creating a stylish and functional area. 

The colour palette and design choices contribute to a clean, organized, and aesthetically pleasing environment. Overall, it's a beautifully designed space that strikes a perfect balance between rustic and contemporary.

Again, thank you for sharing such a wonderful project.
