One Room Challenge: The Initial Legwork (Arm Work?!)

Published: Oct 10, 2017 · Modified: Feb 3, 2023 by Morgan · As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This site contains affiliate links. ·

Hello hello and welcome back to our One Room Challenge: Laundry Room Edition. You might remember that we are doing a 6 week laundry room makeover. Week 1 was the least glamorous but most necessary.

This past week we:

  • Demo-ed all the old metal wire shelving
  • Patched & sanded the holes from said shelving
  • Scraped the popcorn ceiling
  • Painted the walls

Whew, that was a lot of work and a lot of it was messy!

The wall color in here is Nimbus Cloud by Behr. It is a very cool white that I actually picked as a color-match to the tile that we will be hanging. But don't you get thinking that I have gone off my color train for an all white world! We are going to be adding a lot of the Behr color of the year - In the Moment - all around the space. I also really want to let the natural wood and woven colors sing. I think that this neutral backdrop will let that happen!

What's up next? We are going to be installing the plywood counter top + shelving which is really exciting. It is going to be super fun and functional!

    1. Your hair looks amazing in the photo of you painting and I'm jealous. 😉 Seriously, who looks cute when they paint? I look like a troll covered in paint. 🙂 <3

    2. Love those smooth ceilings and that bright fresh wall color.

    Enjoy your vacay and cool temps.
