Week 2: Spring 2016 One Room Challenge

I’m continuing to fine tune the details for our laundry room & mud room but my game plan is still far from solid. Ā Things are very busy at IBB DesignĀ with client projects & I’m headed to market in High Point North Carolina today so I’m literally planning this makeover in my sleep at this point.

Here are a few more inspiration photos that depict the look & feel I’m after.Ā 

I’m really digging the idea of a striped rug in the laundry room. Ā I think it will work great with the wallpaper, so I’m on the hunt for the perfect indoor/outdoor striped blue rug. Speaking of wallpaper, say a prayer that Quadrille can meet my installation deadline. Ā It’s all hand printed & seeing that we’re on a very tight timeline, it’s going to be cutting it very close to get it installed prior to the big reveal. Ā I’ll hopefully have confirmation of a delivery date in the next few days. Ā If they can’t meet my timeline, I may have to consider re-selecting. Ā I love it so much & it was really my jumping off point so I’m crossing my fingers that it all works out!


I love, love, love the idea of throwing in a pop of yellow so I’m thinking of using one of these trim tapes as a detail on the window treatment above our washer & dryer.

A blue washer & dryer will take center stage underneath our white quartz countertops.

Updates on laundry room progress:
The photos are a bit dark. Ā The power is currently off in these areas since they are working on re-doing a lot of the electrical.


New LED can lights were installed & a Jbox for a chandelier (which I still need to select). Ā The ceilings are tall in here so I’m looking for a fun pendant or semi-flush mount.


The cabinetry has all been painted in “Shay White” & the quartz countertops have been installed.

I ordered samples of both of the knobs below to consider for the cabinet hardware.


The mud room needs a bit more planning. Ā I know I want to use these sconces to hang over the tops of the locker cabinets.


I love the cheerfulness & color in this mud room. Ā In my mud room, the cabinetry will be white & the wallpaper Ā will continue into here so I will pull accent color in thru the pillows & cushions on the benches in the lockers.


Mud Room progress update:

The cabinets have been painted & the walls are being prepped for wallpaper.Ā 

It’s starting to come together but there are many details left to finalize. Ā I’m looking forward to being inspired this week while I’m attending the High Point Home Furnishings market. Ā Make sure you’re following me on instagram to get more sneak peeks.
