The hubster is quite the handyman – just check out my new laundry renovation (and if you’re really keen, you can also see the makeover he gave to our walk in-wardrobe).
He’s managed to transform a basic, boring, laundry, into a much more stylish laundry/kitchenette combo. (For those who may be wondering, the kitchenette is for the benefit of our 20 and almost 18 year olds – this is what happens when you have older kids!).
(And yes, that IS two washing machines you can see – click on the link for the full story.)
Laundry Renovation – Before:
It’s spartan, it’s boring, there is no cupboard space, and the taps look unsightly. Although perfectly serviceable, there’s nothing inspiring about the way our laundry was looking …
2. Work Gets Underway:
The work begins by stripping out everything – at this point it gets a bit scary! Not to mention the challenges of getting the washing for a family of four done, without an operational laundry …
3. Laundry Cupboards are installed:
4. Ta da! Our laundry renovation complete with kitchenette:
I’m so proud of the hubster – he’s done a great job, and our new look laundry is perfect for a house with two teenagers!
Are you jealous of my laundry reno?! Bet you don’t have two washing machines – or a kettle, bar fridge and microwave in it! 😉
Linking up with My Little Drummer Boys for another Wordless Wednesday.
I love it! Looks fabulous! Great job Loz. xxx
You will have to pop in and see it for yourself one of these days – and meet the adorable Miss Fleur too! 😉
What a great makeover Janet – looks very stylish and a great use of the space. Loz has done a marvellous job as always!
Oh wow, that’s amazing. Very professional! (And I thought it looked good in the before pics!)
What a great idea!
Deb
LOL it looked tidy in the “before” pics at least (which definitely wasn’t always the case)!
Wow – can you send your hubster over my way?!! I have some reno jobs that need doing and my hubby is never hear enough to do them! LOVE the new look laundry/kitchenette and I completely understand the reasoning behind the kitchenette – having older kids myself!!
Sadly his long service leave is now over so he’s back at work, no time for fun projects like this now 🙁
That is a fantastic idea! I love how you have cupboards above the machines and a bench. So jealous
He did a great job!
wow look at that transformation. Lucky you
Looks good! You’ve got a good hubby! 🙂
I’m looking at the photos thinking why is a microwave in the laundry, now I get it, brilliant people brilliant x
Love it lucky girl!! OMG…is 47 middle aged?? I am another 67 child haha 🙂
Yay! Let’s hear it for 1967 – all the best people were born that year (although 1968 is pretty cool too – the hubster was born then!).
If I had all this in my laundry there would be no room for dirty clothes! Looks fabulous, you have such a clever hubby 🙂
We have dirty clothes baskets in both the bathrooms – I only bring them out to the laundry when I’m sorting and putting a load on 🙂
No! We don’t! We just bought a new washing machine because my rusty old thing finally died. I thought about a front loader because they’re much more economical but I didn’t like the idea of having to bend over.
It looks very modern, clean and swish Janet.
Your hubby does a great reno. We have actually recently converted our laundry into a laundry/kitchenette also. So we have a sink, microwave, bar fridge and cupboards with crockery and cutlery. However we have a B&B room so this area is for our guest’s use. I don’t have two washing machines however!
Janet, I am in love with your laundry (and just a little bit jealous of your hubster’s skills)
You will find doing the laundry to be a pleasure now.
LOL I don’t know if I’d go that far Michelle!!!!
Nice job! I wish my husband is more of a handyman.
Wow, brilliant. Can I borrow him please! Err, only for a bit of reno!
Mmm maybe next time he is annoying me – coz you are on the other side of the country so it would give me a bit of a break LOL!
That looks awesome Janet! Our laundry is just a little nib with a washing machine, drying and tiny sink. I have plans to spruce it up, but so far we’ve just put up a floating shelf above the sink.
As the wife of a husband who has 2 left hands, I am totally envious of your hubby and the amazing work he has done! That looks great janet!!
I’m pretty lucky – I think I’ll keep him! 😉
Wow. It looks clean and tidy. Makes me want to renovate my laundry room.
Very swish and what a handy man to have around.
Wow, that looks absolutely awesome! I would also love to have my washing machine renovated, but I don’t have a husband as handy as yours! I think I might have to hire someone to get similar results like this. Would you happen to have any advice for finding someone to take a look at my laundry room appliances?
