Part Two: Laundry & Powder Room Reveal

November 26, 2018

Hi and welcome back to reality after the long holiday weekend! As promised, I have more to share from my clients’ three-part remodel. In case you missed the Master Bath reveal last week, you can check it out here.

First, I’ll start with the laundry room. Like most builder-grade laundry rooms, this one was functional with no style.

 

And … it was not even functioning to it’s full potential.  The entire right wall was left blank … my clients put in their own table as a makeshift folding area.

Ready for the After?

The cabinets were painted this lovely custom shade and given new doors and hardware. And in a room like a laundry room, why not go fun and bold with the flooring? We selected this tile that mimics the look of more expensive cement tiles.

A new sink, countertop and faucet updated the old utility sink. And on the other side of the room … brand new cabinetry was added, along with a true designated area for folding laundry and wall-mounted drying racks.

But that’s not all … previously this corner behind the door was just a place for piling up all of the tall household items that wouldn’t fit elsewhere.

But now …

… this “bottom-less” cabinet is the perfect place to hold a clothes steamer or vacuum that you can simply roll right out and use when needed. Of course, we had to add some warm wood tones too …

My client said she actually likes being in her laundry room now … mission accomplished!

Ok – next up is the powder room! This room, while tiny, needed a dose of style to tie-in with the other areas of the house. Here is where we started ….

And after …

Good things come in small packages!  The jumping off point for this room was this fantastic watercolor-inspired wallpaper. We matched the color on the custom-built vanity and added shiplap to the back wall.

A favorite library sconce, fun crystal knobs and this gorgeous wall-mount faucet are other details I love.

Once again, I warmed up the space with a touch of natural wood, in the form of this wood-framed mirror that ties in with the existing wood floors. Finally, it’s hard to see in photos, but the quartz countertop has a lovely textured, “leathered” finish.

Thanks for reading along! It was fun to transform these smaller rooms into something fun and fresh!

Pinch me - I was with Jean Stoffer last night! (Ju Pinch me - I was with Jean Stoffer last night! (Just before she flies out to LA for the Emmys!) what a wonderful event at the Monogram Design Studio learning Jean’s tips and tricks for setting a beautiful holiday table. (It doesn’t have to be perfect or match … lean into nostalgia with vintage pieces and found treasures from travels and take advantage of faux greens … just to name a few!) Plus the talented chefs at Monogram served up the most delicious snacks using their amazing Five-in-One Wall Oven. I’m excited to set my table for Christmas Eve this year and I may just be using Jean’s idea of tying velvet ribbons to vintage coupe glasses. Oh and the dried orange garland!  What are your favorite things to add to your Holiday table?

Travel always provides such inspiration for artist Travel always provides such inspiration for artists, writers, designers … and the Lake Como region of Italy is no exception. I couldn’t get enough of all the saturated colors, beautiful stone, arches, and colorful shutters. Each and every building is so unique and charming. #ladolcevita #designinspiration #travelphotography #lakecomoitaly
Love getting photos sent from Virtual E-Design pro Love getting photos sent from Virtual E-Design projects when I can’t see the results in person! Swipe to see the original photo this client sent me asking what they could do to their home office that is right off their entry to make all the cords and big black monitor disappear. My solution … paint the back wall dark and invest in a true Executive Desk with hidden cord openings. Then add some warmth with a rug and art. I sent them several Design Boards and paint swatches with this is where we landed! #edesign #homeoffice @luluandgeorgia @potterybarn @benjaminmoore

Do you know the story of how Crate & Barrel began? Do you know the story of how Crate & Barrel began? Newlyweds Gordon and Carol Segal discovered simple white European dinnerware on their honeymoon and decided their hometown friends needed it too. They opened the first Crate & Barrel in Chicago in 1962. So honored to be invited to their 60th Anniversary celebration last night. And let me just say, Crate & Barrel sure knows how to set a table … for 60! Every detail of this evening was beautifully styled in that special C&B way that has made them a favorite place to shop for so many for so long. It was wonderful to hear Gordon speak and the last picture is the lovely cozy view I had for dinner. Quintessential Crate & Barrel. @crateandbarrel #60thanniversarycelebration
