Here it is now...
One of my favorite features - my honey put radiant heat under the tile floor to keep my tootsies warm in the winter! The room is on a slab so it used to get pretty cold in here.
Everything has a place.
The planter of hydrangeas and plate are attempting to hide the valves and outlets.
Those things just hurt my eyes!
Love the sink...treating stains, potting plants, cleaning Bella's muddy paws, and my paintbrushes.
Cabinets to the ceiling were a priority to maximize storage in this room. But we couldn't find anything tall enough in the stores besides custom cabinetry so I will share what we did in another post.
The shelf and baskets are great too for the things we tend to use a lot, phone chargers, sunscreen, etc.
Under this counter are 6 tall laundry bins for sorting - all hidden by drop cloth with metal ring clips for easy sliding. No more messy, laundry to look at!
Patio entrance, painted in a pretty shade of robin's egg.
Like my dog food pail? Put those vinyl letters on a can from Ikea. I've seen similar ones in the stores for a lot more $$. The basket holds the kids' school folders, take out menus, etc.
This "not so pretty" calendar used to be in the kitchen. So happy to have it in here. I know it's huge but I need rather large squares for keeping track of everything. It's called the Mammoth grid!
Pretty box to hold the mail.
Drop cloth remnant made a perfect window treatment. No sew! I even left the raw edge.
That's it for now. For all of you DIYers I will share some costs, colors and sources in another post.
Edited to add: See PART 2 for all resources.
Need to get back to work now.

Your laundry room turned out beautiful. I wish I could get mine cleaned up and have a place for everything. It just seems to the room where everything gets dropped off.
You have inspired me:-)

Just gorgeous and simple at the same time! I just love it. You did a great job on it. I see many ideas I would like to have!

They are literally digging the hole for my laundry room as we speak and I've bookmarked your site for when I have something prettier to decorate.

I'm so glad I came across our blog. Stopping over from A Simply Klassic Home. I absolutley love the drop cloth window treatment. I so have to do that to one window in my home. I love the texture of it. Love you blog and I can't wait to look at it more. Thanks for sharing your goregous Laundry Room. :)
Your laundry room is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Love the laundry room. Mine is just going to be a small coridor type of space with a stacking washer\dryer. My biggest challenge is trying to find space to put a counter top for folding clothes. I would love to have a real room like yours. You did a great job in making it pretty and functional. Rhianna
Awesome!!!! You are so organized... it is inspiring.
You did an amazing job. It is an inviting room to do laundry. It is so beautiful you could have a tea party in there. :-) Thanks for sharing!

Your laundry room is beautiful!! So jealous!!
SO beautiful!!!
Thanks for linking up! I featured your post on my wrap up http://tidymom.net/2011/komen-race-for-the-cure/
I must say that I find your laundry room the most beautiful one I have ever seen anywhere..
Love the style, the functionality, and the warmth of the room...Particularly am eyeing the drop cloth on the metal rings that you utilized to hide the sorting bins under the counter. I think I am definitely going to have to copy that in my laundry room, if you don't mind!
The laundry room is beautiful i love thae colour & your window treatments are so pretty
Oh my..I would 'enjoy' doing laundry in that room, Wow !! LOVE the wood counters.
I don't know if you did it on purpose, but since you didn't share *all* your secrets in one post, I'm a SUBSCRIBER ;)
My laundry room is unfinished right now, but I love the inspiration you have provided.
I'm in love with this room! And the warmers for your feet,lucky you!!!
My linky wasn't working, i had to delete so you might want to try linking again...sorry :(

Wow swooning, this is one gorgeous laundry room. Just beautiful!
This is so adorable - I love everything about it! Such great ideas and the bird theme makes it really pretty. I have a yucky laundry room that I've been meaning to work on so maybe this will get me going!
Your laundry room is AH-MAZING! I so love the gently ruffled drapes for the cabinets.
Just wanted to say thanks for your kind comment on my 'chocolate' coffee table! I hope you do do one for yourself!
That's beautiful! Almost makes laundry fun, huh? At least it's not dreary. :)
Absolutely beautiful! We are moving this summer into my in-laws BEAUTIFUL farmhouse. It is dated in decor however, and I'm dreaming and scheming already. I've never had a pretty or very functional laundry room, and the farmhouse has one nice one. I've been looking online for inspiration, and came across yours via Mama's Laundry Talk. I have two questions. What are the dimensions of your room? Also, where did you get that fabulous fabric on your ironing board? I've added you to my google reader....so I'll be back! Thanks for sharing!
So great!
I love your laundry room! So beautiful! I have to ask though, where did you get such a cute ironing board cover? I am officially on the look out for one like that! And I am loving the Dog Food container! Such a great idea!
This is so cute!

This is just the inspiration I was looking for. I'd like to know what you did for the countertop? It's beautiful.
Jody
Hi Jody,
So glad you are inspired!
The countertops were stain grade wood panels we purchased at Lowes and stained them with Minwax English Chestnut. Here is a link to a post with all of the resources.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
