Laundry Room Remodel

I don't know about you but I absolutely hate wood paneling. Our laundry room/husbands game room had wood paneling, yucky brown carpet, no storage, no organization and it just wasn't pretty. Our house is a work in progress. My husband bought this house a few years ago and when we met we started updating. Sad to say this house was stuck in the 1970's so the wood panel must have been a hot commodity at that time. So on one side of the room was shelves for my husbands office/game room, and on the other side of the room was "my" laundry. 

See no storage which in turn means no organization. So we met with a local construction company Barco Construction and Design to plan what we wanted. We knew we wanted sheet rock instead of paneling for sure, for my side I wanted some cabinets on either side of the window for storage, I wanted a hidden ironing board, and a counter top above the washer and dryer. For my husbands side he wanted a desk of the same counter top above the washer and dryer, shelving and storage.  

After deciding on the color with my husbands help we decided on a bright orange color aka construction vest orange. I was not to keen on that color so I bought an outdoor rug since this is a high traffic area and it was Terracotta. So I took the bright orange paint back to the store with the rug and matched the color. And it turned out to be very close. We only used the orange on either end of the laundry/game room and Mushroom Bisque from Behr PPU4-7 for the other walls. I will tell you Mushroom Bisque is throughout our house with accent colors because it is such a great neutral color!! Definitely recommend it!

After LOTS of electrical problems, mold problems, fire hazards  and many other problems the finishes started coming together.

The outdoor rug I had the paint match.

 

 My husbands office/game room. Did I mention he is a big Texans fan, HUGE TEXANS FAN!!

I love turning something shabby into chic. This project I was the designer not the contractor but I still loved choosing all the finishes to everything.

I added some simple decor on the walls with some coordinating fabric. Psst the ones on the left are shoe box tops super simple!!
