This Laundry Room has really come a long way, since we moved in. I converted half of it into a Mudroom (you’ll see that a few rooms below this one), given it a couple different color schemes and counter tops before finally loving the latest Colorful Modern Farmhouse Laundry Room Makeover.

When we moved in the walls were a Faux Orange Finish, with beaten up 20 year-old white cabinets, white linoleum counters and backsplash, and orange and black tiles.

Now it’s light, bright and fresh with this cream and teal color scheme. I also added a v–board backsplash, a second shelf between the upper cabinets, a table over the washer and dryer, new floors, and counters. Head over to the full reveal for more pictures of my Laundry Room and all the details. 🙂

I loved that blue wall color 6 years ago, but in the last year I fell out of love and really wanted to update this whole room. Too much beige and blue in this picture. Huh?

Look at this huge change I pulled off in about 6 weeks. I painted those walls, ceiling, and crown on scaffolding, guys. Kinda scary, but so worth it. This whole room is amazing now. I’m back in love. 🙂 See the full Modern Farmhouse Living Room Makeover Reveal here.

This house has great bones, right? I love all the millwork and traditional moldings that give this home personality.

Our powder room when we moved in, May 2012. Boring, huh?

So, so boring and outdated. That cabinet was even missing some molding at the top.

Look at this huge change! I built that vanity from an old dresser and painted the mirror with a Rust Patina Paint.

In this before photo, I already switched the wall paint from orange to cream and replaced orange tile counter tops with granite, but the room was still a hot mess. That fluorescent light box needed to go, the layout felt cramped and lacked flow. This room needed a full remodel. I spent a few months planning a new layout for this room.
After flipping homes, building new, and years of remodeling; I have a list of 80+ things to think about and tips for building a new home or planning a remodel.
By moving the stove off the island and sliding it towards the center of the eat-in kitchen, the whole space feels bigger. We gained 3 seats at that island too. We also moved all of the huge appliances to the back of the kitchen so that the front could hold a coffee and drinks bar. Moving the large appliances away from the ends of the kitchen, keeps the room feeling more open.

I love that new stove and wide open work zone now. You can see the rest of the kitchen reveal in this post.

Can you tell that most of these before photos were taken before I started blogging. Sorry. This section of cabinets in our Laundry Room is right next to the door we always come home through. So shoes and coats were piling up here. And those cabinets were basically empty. The Laundry Room had too much storage for us. So, converting this to a Mudroom made the most sense for us. You can see the details behind how I did it here. And, info behind the shoe storage here.

I completely changed and gutted those original cabinets. This Mudroom Makeover was even featured in Better Homes and Gardens this year. How cool is that?! It’s really hard to get a good picture of this area, because it’s a tight space and that window lets in a lot of harsh light. My pictures never do it justice. But you can get a good idea.

Extra Bonus: Hey, my Master Bedroom isn’t completely done yet. But the before and after photos are still pretty amazing. Check out how far this room has come in that last year. 🙂

Drab and mismatch-y everything. I finally added some style to this room.
Here's a peek at the rooms I've never really shown you. And, the story behind why I haven't done their room reveals yet. A couple just need a few finishing touches. Like our master bedroom. But, they're all full of Traditional Home Room Makeover Ideas. #AbbottsAtHome #MasterBedroom #BedroomIdeas #FarmhouseStyle #TraditionalHome #MasterBedroomIdeas #VaultedCeiling
You might have seen this bedroom in my DIY Tray Ceiling Paneling Makeover post. That end of bed bench is one of my favorite builds. You can find the tutorial for that DIY Farmhouse Bench here. More photos of my bedroom can be found here.
