New Year New Room Refresh: Week 1
Hello, hello! Today is the perfect day to refresh a room that needs some love. The lovely Stephanie from Casa Watkins had a perfect New Year challenge for us. Refresh a room in 3 weeks for a New Year New Room. For me, that’s our downstairs bath/laundry room. It acts as our guest bathroom too so I need it to be fun and pretty.
Let’s take a little tour. As soon as you walk into our house, you see the laundry room door from the foyer.










With some new art and accessories, innovative cords and hoses coverings, and pretty styling, the space is going to finally be on par with the rest of the living area!
Follow along every Tuesday in January for updates!! If you came from Pretty Practical Home, make sure to stop by A Designer at Home next and tell Corinna hi for me.

You do rental GOOD girl! I love what you have planned and I know living in rental there is only so much you can do. Love it!
Thanks Jess! That means a lot. Rentals can be so challenging.
Laundry rooms can be so hard! But your plan looks dreamy. It’s going to be such a refreshing space when you’re done. PS I like to watch vlogs of those living in places like Japan and the bathroom is spot on with what I’ve seen. So cool!
Thanks Corinna! I keep thinking about doing a tour on Periscope or something. I’m just a little camera shy which is funny since I’m a professional pianist.
How exciting! I can’t wait to see the space come together!!
Thanks sweetie, me too!! It’s one of the last spots to make pretty in our rental.
What a bright room Kathy! I’m sure it’s going to turn out beautiful!
Our rental has amazing light Deb! That and the ocean view are amazing features. Thanks for the sweet comment. xoxo
Wow, that’s such a unique space! You plans are lovely and the colors and design is fresh! Can’t wait to see this room transform!
Thanks so much Sara. I’m really excited to put it together.
What a great laundry space–looks like a good size and very bright! I’m so interested to see what you come up with for the cord and hose covers. My laundry closet needs some love, so I’m looking to you for inspo. 🙂 Love the decor you chose!
Thanks Britt! It’s the cheeriest spot I’ve ever done laundry in. lol I’ll be sharing those cord and hose covers next!!
Your mood board is really crisp and pretty, and I’m especially fond of the burled wood touches. Looking forward to seeing the completed space and what you come up with to deal with the hoses and cords. If I had my way, electrical cords would be banished forever.
Thanks Sharon! I’m really excited about the burled wood too. The space needs a little warmth. 🙂
Loving your mood board! These pieces are going to be so great in this room. I love that you will be able to see your sense of style in a bath and laundry room. You have a great eye for decor so it’s going to be interesting to see how you decorate this space. Yay!
Thanks Steph! I’m glad you put this challenge together so I’ll finally get around to this room!
Kathy! Your ideas look so clean & fresh’ perfect for a bath / laundry room! I can’t wait to see what tricks you’ve got up your sleeve to cover up your cords & outlets – I’ll be taking notes 🙂 looking forward to the rest of the challenge with you all! -Rachael
Thanks Rachael! I’m excited about the covers, the diy is coming next and it is turning out just the way I imagined. Whew!
