We renovated our laundry in 2022. Back then we were very much rookie renovators and made some mistakes! So it was time to rectify these and subsequently we were able to change the style of the space to suit the rest of our newly renovated home on a small budget!
Materials
- Kaboodle cabinetry: doors are alpine in macaroon
- Specrite panel made into floating shelves
Tools
Steps
Step 1
1. Bench top: our benchtop had bowed and was damaged from not enough supports and not being sealed properly
- We luckily had a left over slab from our kitchen renovation so got our stonemason back to install that piece in this space
Step 2
2. Tiles: we made the mistake of tiling before having the window & door replaced. Unfortunately our new backsplash & floor tiles etc were damaged by the window/door installers
- We spend only $140 on new tiles for the backsplash that suited our new found style and were able to revamp this space whilst resolving the issues. We did this ourselves using leftover grout etc so this only cost us the cost of the tiles (and we have leftovers!)
- We also had the floor done professionally because this was causing us a lot of issues
Step 3
3. Tap: the tap didn’t fit properly behind the sink and had become rusty (in such a short time period!). Luckily we had only bought this on clearance for around $20 so it was no big loss
- My step-FIL is a plumber so again this only cost us the cost of the new tap which was around $140. Again we were able to also change the style of this and have it suit our needs better
It's inspiring to see how you tackled mistakes @thecounselsreno and updated the style to match your newly renovated home, and on a budget. You’ve transformed the space beautifully and I trust you're really proud of your efforts and your growth as renovators.
Great job on this budget-friendly and stylish renovation!
