Hi all! I’m sorry I haven’t been around much. I could blame it on internet issues—we ended up having to order a replacement router—but truthfully, I’ve just been feeling lazy and lacked motivation. That said, I’ve managed to dive into a few projects, so let me share what I’ve been up to recently.
We started working on the laundry room makeover (photos below to show our progress), though the project slowed down when the weather became unbearably hot. I also took a week to visit the grandkids and added a flowerbed around my greenhouse. Now, it’s time to refocus, get motivated, and finish some pending projects to share with you. Until then, here’s a glimpse of what we’ve accomplished so far!

Laundry Room Makeover
The laundry room makeover has been an exciting project, and we’ve made steady progress despite the interruptions. Here’s what it looks like so far!
We started with these old cabinets. They were functional but lacked any style or personality.
The beadboard walls were a nice addition, giving the space some texture and charm.
After painting the cabinets and beadboard walls, everything started to come together beautifully.
Next, we tackled the foundation work, fixing the patches on the old tile floor.
Once that was completed, we installed a stunning floating wood floor—a real game changer for the room’s look and feel.
We also added a matching wooden desk top, which doubles as a folding table. It has a clean, polished look that blends perfectly with the rest of the room.
Storage Cabinet Project
We found this old diaper-changing table at a bargain price and decided to repurpose it into a storage cabinet.
The hubby will spray paint it to match the other cabinets, and it will fill this empty spot perfectly.
Greenhouse Flowerbed
While tackling the laundry room, I also took some time to add a flowerbed around my greenhouse. It’s a small detail, but it makes a big difference in brightening up the outdoor space!
Here are a few additional photos of the flowerbed. It’s a simple but rewarding project, and the plants are thriving!
Finishing Touches & Next Steps
Thankfully, the triple-digit temperatures are finally starting to drop, and the cooler mornings are perfect for tackling long-overdue tasks. Up next:
- Installing the trim around the room
- Painting and adding the ceiling tiles
- Finishing the storage cabinet
I’m hoping to check these off my list soon so the laundry room makeover will be fully complete! Thanks for following along, and stay tuned for more updates soon!
What have you been up to? Love the colors you chose for the cabinets. They’re so peaceful. It might just encourage me to not see the laundry room as some kind of time-sucking capsule filled with endless piles of fabric.
Mostly walking the dog, and working out. Been having a hard time getting motivated to work on my blog.
I do like the color but we are dragging our feet in finishing it all.
Hey Linda,
I found you on Pinterest and loved your pins.
I am a Diy person myself, even though I am not that good at it, but I try to do it as I enjoy the process and it saves up quite a few bucks.
I love your color choices, it looks pretty neat.
Keep sharing your artistic views.
Thanks Jason! I’m glad that you hopped on over to check out my blog.
