The project

This project 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 the sink. 

We decided to go for an industrial-style laundry with some much needed bench space and more storage. 

We kept plumbing in the same position to keep costs down, but added overhead and under bench cupboards. All Kaboodle products and hardware. We included pull out drawers for dirty baskets to slide out next to the washing machine. This top loader is multi function and is washer/dryer combo. We added some Bunnings penny tiles for splash back.

We also used Bunnings tile accessories, for wall and floor, and hardware tools for cabinetry. 

Steps

Step 1

Removed old laundry cabinetry and started demolition of old tiles. We took off villaboard from the walls and replaced with new. 

Step 2

We then waterproofed entire room, before installing new tiles.

 

Step 3

We then had plumbing hooked up and finished the cupboard install. Then we grouted the tiles, including splashback. 

Step 4

Final result.
