Woops. Did the weekend end already? Sorry about that. I found myself telling someone the other day that this is a busy time of year for me. I then realized that I say that about six times a year. I should probably come to terms with the fact that I’m just busy.
I’ve got parent/teacher conferences coming up next week, so that kind of keeps me from tackling any big projects around the house. Nothing worse than a torn up guestroom only to have your in-laws come up and have nowhere to sleep. So…..I wait. And I plan. Wanna see what I planned?
{Laundry Room}
I don’t know if you’ll agree, but I just love it when someone offers a “mood board” for the ideas going on in their head. I’ve stayed away from it until now simply because I’m fickle. Just ‘cause this idea is what I want today, it doesn’t mean this is what I’ll end up with. A mood board is a little too committal for me, and I don’t want to disappoint anyone. That sounds like I need therapy.
The wood sample in the board is for butcher block countertop. It’s a finalist, but not the winner yet. I love how it looks in the photo below. It adds a little warmth and texture to the space—two of my favorites!
Not sure if it works? Check out these glam shots. Pretty a—ma—mazing!

Planning a mood board is not the easiest thing in the world, but I think you get the idea. My excuse for not doing laundry is that I need a room transformation, so I should probably get moving on it. As soon as I’m not busy. 🙂

I am convinced that having a finished laundry room would make the laundry much easier and more fun to do! Looks like you have some great ideas going there – thanks for sharing:)
I love looking at everyone else’s mood board. I would get in a bad mood fast after I made a good mood board because I would be frustrated that I don’t have the time to do whatever it was I put on my mood board. Your put me in a good mood though!
Oh how I LOVE those kitchens. I’m dreaming of white carrera marble for the tops… they say it stains, but I think I need it anyway.
Good luck on your new design.
Blessings,
Spencer
My great grandfather’s chest of drawers has a top of white/greyish marble that I think is Carrara, I have it for 30 years and always loved it and I have always been told it’s rather fragile for a kitchen. But, a very popular (rather dive-ish) Thai restaurant I frequent has Carrara marble counter tops and you can’t imagine the abuse they endure and you wouldn’t believe how beautiful they are. I am getting it in my kitchen. One day. I’m not scared.
I wish I had a laundry room to transform. Unfortunetly mine in pretty small, so frustrating!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

I love your mood board (even if you change your mind) and your photos are gorgeous. The dark butcherblock countertop is AMAZING! Can’t wait to see what you do!
I love the butcher block. I’ve talked my husband into putting butcher block in our kitchen and getting some extra to use in the laundry room. Can’t wait!
Those countertops are TO DIE FOR! And I love the mood board. 🙂
LOVE IT!! Now I am dreaming of an indoor laundry room (yes mine is stuck out in the garage!) If only I could find the space inside for it! Maybe I could convince the hubby that we really don’t need a bedroom that an indoor laundry room makes so much more sense! HA! 🙂
What I want to know is where can one find that lovely lighting fixture!
I’d take any of the above. I covet an all white kitchen…and a laundry room. Oh, and a mudroom…and perhaps a screened-in porch. OK, I’ll stop now.
I loved seeing the mood board for your laundry room! I, too, am in the middle of a laundry room overhaul….well, in my head anyhow. Like you, I haven’t had time to tackle it yet so in my head it stays until I can stop residing in the land of crazy. 🙂 Looking forward to seeing what you do in there!
Hi! Just came across your blog and gotta say that I love the look of that butcher block! I just might have to add that to my ‘must have’ list for our next place! And great mood board! 🙂
Love the rug on your mood board. I just did my laundry room and love it. I may even do more folding now!!! The butcher block will look lovely, and I can’t wait to see what you end up doing. I think carrera and white are gorgeous!! have fun with the planning
I do the mood board thing. I’ve never really thought of it as committal though, but maybe that’s because I don’t have that many readers yet! I am very fickle as well, but I don’t think I’d let that stop me even if I did have a lot of readers. Sometimes I just need to get the ideas out, and if I end up with something different down the line, I still love what I started with as well! I love what you’ve got so far. Did you pick the wall color from the washer/dryer? Your washer literally falls into the background where the glare on it is, all I see is the round door! Lol!
So pretty! I am working on sprucing up my laundry room right now, too. Where is that gorgeous light fixture from? I love it!
