Laundry Room Trend

Yes, I said Laundry Room! More and more people are adding laundry rooms to the list of rooms that deserve an update. We do spend a lot of time in there after all...so it should be a space that is functional. I am featuring three laundry room renovations. All were done at the same time as their kitchen remodel.

The first one shows that you can take the cabinets out of the existing kitchen and re-purpose them for the laundry room. We picked the best cabinets, cleaned them up, and added new hardware. Now they look great and with little investment!

After Before

This low-budget option used thermofoil cabinets, thus allowing them to make the renovation changes they needed in this room.

The third example shows a laundry room that is very visible from the kitchen. In order to have continuity, we used cabinets that match the kitchen. They also made renovation changes that included removing an adjacent powder room.

On your next kitchen renovation, consider the often over-looked laundry room as well.

A Warm Inviting Space

BeforeAfter

I wanted to show a kitchen that I just completed and truly love! (Not to mention it was for, quite possibly, the nicest customers I have ever had!) One reason I wanted to feature this is because it is a wood kitchen...Cherry in fact. So many people think that they need white kitchens or it will look like a cave. This proves that is not the case. The key is to visually open up the kitchen and improve the lighting. This is something that I strive to do in every kitchen regardless of color. I think one of the reasons we see so many white kitchens these days in magazines is because they photograph better. But in person, the beauty of wood is breathtaking. I definately do many rich wood bathroom vanities, especially in master baths. But mostly the kitchens are white with maybe a wood island for warmth. While the white is classic and clean, I encourage you to think outside of the box and create a warm and inviting space!
