I find the hostess extremely likable. The projects are interesting. So glad I found these videos.
Me to
Me too
Monica is the greatest!
Hey
She does seem personable and authentic
The room turned out great and I always enjoy the host, but Alan was the best part of this makeover. What a great guy!
I love this change! Laundry can be such a chore, but it's easier with a cocktail. This gentleman had such a great idea and Monica rocked it!
this one came out so posh and stylish, while still fitting in with the rest of his very stylish home!
im so happy he liked it, he seemed so overwhelmed!
Love it..the only thing I would have done differently is making the waterfall counter deeper and adding a sheer fabric curtain to the front (mounted under the top of the counter) so when there is actual party, no one would see the washer and dryer.
Yes.. I had ideas along that same line. With a curtain rod and grommet top curtains to pull across the W & D when using the room to entertain.
I totally agree...also, I would have nixed the stripes. The gray paint with the white trim against the rustic brick was already a perfect backdrop to the reno.
Yes!!! For sure!
She does an awesome job. If you can do better, then maybe Lowes will hire you.
I don't know how you make missy stripes on the wall look awesome!
I was thinking the same... I still think if I tried, it would look 'messy' LOL! 😊
I love what Alan did with the house before and the laundry makeover gave me lots of ideas for my own. I'm so happy to see an old NOLA home given new life.
Beautiful room. I have done the alternative dispenser thing but would not recommend it as soap residue on glass (no pour spout so it WILL go down the side)makes for accidents of the breakable kind. Nothing worse than cleaning up a wet laundry detergent spill lol. Just buy a large laundry bottle and a small of the same brand, use the small bottle and store it in the basket up at the top to hide it, when it is used up, refill and then store the big bottle in a tall wicker round basket and place it next to the laundry center. I am so loving this room though!
All these people on RUclips paint EVERYTHING! Just get a can of spray paint and turn the laundry detergent container into a decorator item. Gold maybe? .. LOL
I put mine in a drink dispenser... i love it and it looks so nice
@@ricanmujer Ive switched to detergent pods...Im using a cookie jar for those lol..no more detergent spills and drips. Im a butter fingers lol. Glad yours is working out! :)
@@topherjoe1 i thought about switching too.. love that its working out better for you
Those stripes turned out really well. It wasn't something I thought I would like, but I do!
I love the transformation but would have done a few things differently. Not a fan of the stripes but not so bad once broken up by the shelf etc. I probably would have added curtains to the front of the machines. Lastly, I felt like the shelf extending beyond the door is a bad idea during entertainment. It should have been angled. Someone's bound to get a corner on the belly when it's raised this way. Hats off to Alan for stepping up and rebuilding such a great space in such a stricken place. He has hope and faith in the community.
I do the laundry because my cats aren't very good at it and no other humans live with me LOL
The homeowner has such an infectious smile!
So cool. I made folding tables with hinges, held up by chains. When I saw that you made this, I went dancing over to to my husband to show him.
Amazing idea, Monica you're very talented.... Congratulations to this wonderful built. Loved it....
Lowes, you are crushing it!! So many great ideas!
Thanks, Mark.
Lowe's Home Improvement please come to oklahoma & make my hubby's bathroom exactly what he wants, he has served our country for 15 years as a marine, went to Iraq twice & now 100 % disabled. Please give this amazing man something special, thanks! -Rebecca
Right! Everything looks so good!
Great show! Is the owner single??! Seems like a nice gentleman. 😜 I'm not thirsty I'm asking for a friend
Neeshpeesh123 😂
no
she has husband and kids
Daniel JiJi She meant the owner of the house.
Agree!
The owner DOES SEEM LIKE GENTLEMEN. I'm so drawn to him. Just seems like a genuine human being. I just remembered the word that would describe this man: Charismatic. That's it; he's charismatic.
I wouldn't leave dryer sheets in the open. They won't work if they are all dried out.. I would just put the box on its side in a wooden box.
I was thinking the same thing. She did admit to being bad at laundry.
I don't like the smell of Bounce (dry sheets) so I keep them in their boxes inside the closet.
They work fine
Dryer sheets are a fire risk. Don't use them
You could paint the lid of a large, plastic mayonnaise jar, and store them in there. It would look like glass, without the danger of dropping it and breaking it.
it is adorable when you build a very personal connection with clients.. the end result brings fulfillment to both of you..
Love how the laundry turned out. Lowe's these tutorials are awesome, educational and thoroughly entertaining. Keep up the excellent work.
Incredibly OUTSTANDING....
also, for anyone who feels weird about putting the detergent in a karaffe, maybe an easy chalkboard label will prevent people from drinking it (not that any adults would just try to take a swig from the detergent bottle sitting on top of the laundry machine)
Beautiful...I thought first that you were going to do a roll out cover for the washer and dryer which would have doubled as a folding table. I love what you did. Simple design. 🤗
I love the versatility of the space! It's giving me great ideas for multi-functional furniture and built-ins. ❤
What did Monica say at 7:53???!!! I can't stop watching it!!! It's sooooo funny!!!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
My number 1 favorite! I LOVE multifunctional rooms. Please do more.
I love this show keep up the great work and I enjoy your show
this is my favorite youtube series
+Damian We're honored! Thanks for tuning in to watch The Weekender each week.
I love the make over. I laughed SOOOO hard when that bug 🐜 got on you but I couldn't figure out what it was! I rewound the video over and over but never did see it, are you something was on you?? 😉 And I, mama, do the laundry. I'm in the process of teaching my two boys to do their own but it's not going so well.
Tammy their laughing made me laugh hard too:-)
Tammy McCall Thanks for watching, Tammy! What was your favorite project in this makeover?
Tammy 4him it looked like a fuzzy 🐛
Did you up the brightness? I changed the brightness on my phone and finally saw it.
Tammy 4him first part same!
Love the multipurpose space! Love all the colors and decor touches!!! Goes well with his style and the rest of his home!
Awesome! I really thought it would be a slide door the hide the washer and dryer! But as always Monica you did a great job
Monica! I'm loving these ideas! The carafe for detergent?! Perfect! What a FUN makeover!
Leslie Smittle its Alan’s idea, not a fan of what she did, not much says entertaining, maybe it’s just me being from NOLA and all...
The Weekender: You guys done an awesome job. I really like your channel; you taught me sooo much.
I was wondering how the wall would look like? Lol but at the end it's amazing. n I like the jars too! Great job!
Love his idea of coming back home and making things happen in this tough area and he is going to bring back the wonderful neighborhood, cheers to him!
Love this show , you make it look so simple and easy
This is becoming my favourite show ever , short cute and right to the point
I am glad I found her here. I was getting tired of watching knock it off reruns. I will definitely be binge watching these videos. 😄
This is my favorite cuz Alan is in it and to me he is the only one in all the videos that smile a lot
First off, yeah for New Orleans again (my home)! Second, while I'm not a fan of those stripes, it all came together well!
Omg so cool!!
I love everything about it
The freehand stripe wall and the bricks and the grey wall. Perfection 😍
He is SO CORRECT, THIS IS PEEERFECT!!! AMAZING!!
He seems so easy going. He deserves it!!! Cool dude!!
boy ,I love this ..it really fits with his personality too
Wow! This is one of the best Monica and her team has ever done! Love it!
She can do anything in one weekend! Amazing!
Nice build, like laundry rooms that are "done". Not a fan of the free hand painting on the walls, just not my thing. The laundry detergent in a pretty container is a great idea, but not in a carafe, it has not top on it & for entertaining, always a chance for a spill. A drink dispenser with a pour nozzle would have been a better idea, they come in a large sizes, for lemonade & ice tea, all styles, plastic or glass.
TBH, I just don't care for the free-handed stripes. I think if they were just done with painter tape and farther apart it would've looked so cool! Bc some of the stripes are so wide they're almost touching in some areas so u made the ends really thin in some spots. LOL My OCD can't stop looking at how uneven they're. 😂 besides that, great job!
Mel I can’t handle them either, if it was my room I would paint the wall the accent blue as soon as the crew leaves.
The messy strips are the point....
I feel like they compliment the organic shape of the exposed bricks
Messier, would be my liking.
They are*
Wow the guy in the video is so handsome. Who is he and how do I find him in NOLA?
Right?! He seems to be incredibly cool...and has GREAT taste!

It came out amazing! I was in Houston during Katrina, so a shout out to Allen! Wish there was a way to swap around a laundry room half bath to make it function better. Love the videos!
Such a good sport with those wobbly lines. Love the paint color. I’m not a fan of the lines. Hope he will repaint the wall as an accent wall in the dame deep rich blue color. Overall,I love her projects
I totally get the mud room, laundry room, "entertainment"... area! We have a mud room/laundry room and it is accessed by guests to exit to the pool and back yard, and the only bathroom in our farm house is accessed from that room. I've always thought it would be nice to have a welcoming, drop zone, ...not just a pass through. I can't wait to see the end!
Love this. We built a set of cubbies for the wall and put everything in pretty baskets similar to this.
Underneath, I have hooks that fold up from Ikea.
This isn't a good idea if you have children, but we put our laundry pods in a mason jar mostly for ease of access, but I think it looks great too!
Because we bought a fixer-upper, some of the original beadboard in the wall was missing, so we added a back and some trim and turned it into a built-in between the studs. I wouldn't do this with an undamaged wall, but I definitely appreciate that little bit of extra space!
You ARE INCREDIBLE! The space is beautiful, but more important (to me) is that I now know what to do with my laundryroom which is in my KITCHEN: What I LOVE about your designs, is that they are DOABLE, even for someone like me. I am SO implementing the waterfall, AND using your foldable bar, for a standing computer stand for myself. Thanks for all your great ideas.
Congratulations, Allen! Beautiful space!
I’ve watched SO many of your videos and have never seen you have SO much chemistry with any of your clients:) This was too fun!
You could have made a curve on the bar corner so that it doesn't cover the door as much when it's open.
I want to know how to make a laundry shoot. Ever sense I saw Home Alone as a kid I've wanted one. Great videos btw!
Great idea! Might have to add that to the list. Basically, you're just running some rectangular ducts (low.es/2rMzqk7) down between the studs & joists. Simple, right?
Oh, and if you wanna nerd out on more Home Alone stuff in the meantime, we got you: ruclips.net/video/-3fZJv8VIyk/видео.html
I've wanted a laundry shoot in my house for years! My childhood neighbors had one. I have an older home and the stairs to the basement laundry are very narrow so I carry the laundry down without a basket and think a laundry shoot that falls into a laundry basket on wheels with a hanging rod would be awesome!!! Monica and crew do great work. I've loved her since her Knock if Off series!
Try making it so that it is a divided shoot, whites to go down one, darks down the other side each ending up in their own individual storage container.
I don't know. My cousin sent me down one at my grandmother's when I was about two! I wasn't terrified, but while I wasn't home alone, I was alone in the dirty clothes catching cabinet, under the laundry shute for awhile, until they found me!
I think they are great, and I would build one, but it would be hard to make one too small to send a two-year-old down. My grandmother's was a metal box between the toilet and the wall, about a foot in either direction, if I remember correctly. A hinged metal lid lifted up to send the clothes down the shute, to the basement. Beneath the lid, the shute was a couple of feet long, then turned a little away from the wall. I think a ductwork builder may have put it together. The receiving place was a wooden cabinet built into the wall, but some go directly into a basket on a folding table ot a rolling wooden cart. The footprint of the bathroom was not near the laundry, which had to be built near a sump, but at least it took care of the problem of getting the laundry downstairs.
Another amazing room! What's not to love in this space, it's great Monica, so many awesome ideas for my own laundry makeover. And....you have inspired me to tackle my 2 bedrooms before family arrives in a month, woohoo!!!
very charming and eloquent guy! glad he decided to get back to this area, it looks super cool and his house is very tasteful!
I actually really love this
This is an AMAZING episode!!! First time watching 'The Weekender' and I'm HOOKED! Transforming a mudroom into a multi use space for entertaining and laundry is an 'out of the box', fabulous idea. Very creative and innovative, from the color palate to the carafe filled with laundry detergent, so warm and inviting. And, to top it off, a gentleman with a great personality from my hometown NOLA is featured⚜. Awesome show Monica!
LOL LOl that was so funny when the big bug came in your shoe and how Alan was just cracking up....anyway I just want to let you know that you did a great job and I love it...
I look forward to these episodes every week. Another great job.
A unique space, turned out beautiful and FUN!
By far Matt is the coolest guy on your weekender projects and has the best idea!! Theres nothing better than using your space for practicality and fun! Of course you want your room next to the back yard for the party/food stop. So clever! I wish he could see my post. 😕
I was seriously blown away by this room makeover! So in love with it, so perfect for all the purposes! 😍😍
Also the bug... I was like WHAT IS IT then rewound and rewatched it... maybe I don't wanna know what it is after all 😂😅
That's crazy freaking incredible with lots of great ideas! Awesome make over and great video!
Love the long table that folds in and out. Oh and the blue stripes on the wall!
*I’m from England UK and just wanted to say that I love his accent. I find his accent quite attractive.... So is he though!!*
I need Monica at our house ASAP! Come to oklahoma & make my hubby's bathroom exactly what he wants😉 He served our country for 15 years as a marine, went to Iraq twice & now 100% disabled, please Lowes!
I was not too sure about the stripes either but when everything was put in place it looked really good.
I see a lot of comments on here giving the transferring of the laundry products into other containers a thumbs down because Monica used glass and that’s not safe, etc. You obviously wouldn’t do this in homes where there’s kids and it’s not really necessary if your laundry room isn’t visible to guests. I think Monica’s idea was to creatively find a way to conceal or hide laundry products when they’re in spots people will see them a lot. It doesn’t have to be glass, it just had to be clever.
this is the only guy that looked like he actually like it, the renovates were good, its just that others didnt seem so suprised and happy
Just started watching these and you are amazing. Love the episodes.
BEST episode yet. Allen's house is so beautiful in the first place, I was a little skeptical. His vision for the space, and the details Monica added, blew my mind. I wish I could come to one of his parties. Plus his going back home story made my heart happy. xox
The little mirror next to the back door--where is that from? I love it + I need it! :o
the house owner is just delightful. Seems like a cool guy. Love the blues he used in his new spotless hse.
Hey Monica!! Great work.... But I was wondering that why washer and dryer are visible. I felt that it should be hidden and should have given some glass / mirror finish like a full pack storage area kind. And bar place looks so small. I love your work but just wanted to add some points.
I suspect that room looks bigger than it is because of the camera angle trying to catch it all. Kind of like they use in real estate home interior shots. I get the letting the washer and dryer being part of the decor. They are modern and well maintained. People would know, regardless of whats under a frilly curtain or a flap, there is a washer and dryer there. Might as well incorporate it into the design. I think it looks cool myself.
Very nice transformation!
I wasn't totally getting on board with the party spot. But in the end I was able to get out of my head and it amazed me. Great design!
This remodel is amazing!!!!
So , Loved it. I wish we could come and hang out with Alan. He seems fun. groups of people meeting from different states. Congrats Alan!
This is the best looking masculine laundry ever and great projects to be used outside of the laundry room.
It looks great, I would have just extended the wood above the washer and dryer to completely cover it and add either curtains or sliding doors to hide everything.
Exactly. I thought the washer and dryer were going to be cleverly hidden from view to make the space NOT look like a laundry room. I was wrong but it gave me an idea on how to easily cover a washer and dryer.
Awesome ideas here. We also have a laundry area in a walkthrough space. You walk past the washer and drier to get to the study and I've always been ashamed of it. Those storage ideas are fantastic, prettying up the are by using baskets and other containers. It's so obvious, but I never thought of that. Thanks. Addicted to this show. After watching EVERYTHING twice on Great Home Ideas I've been looking for another channel like this.
Great Video and makeover! However, I think the transfer of the laundry detergents/clean supplies to more nice looking containers is a really bad idea. This is because those materials are toxic so their labels are really important. Imagine if a small kid got a hold of those and thought they were safe to eat as a result. Those bottles often have things like "what to do incase of consumption". Alternatively, I think storing the containers themselves in a nice storage bin so they are hidden would be a safer alternative.
In his case.. I doubt he has a lot of little kids in his house. Mostly big boys.
OMG that bug part got me 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😅😅😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Those short screws in the end grain of plywood for the piano hinge makes me question long-term durability.
I know they used a ton of screws, but...
I love the stripes, and for New Orleans, it has a French connection, if you'll excuse the expression. They look like the wallpaper in an impressionist painting. They could be Monet or Van Gogh, or even back before impressionism, to Delacroix. I remember seeing his painting of a bachelor's apartment, with some loose, blue stripes on the wall or somewhere. That's what they make me think of. The young man has used crisp lines in his own decorating work, so having the looser, freehand stripes, loosens it up, and softens it a bit, which seems really appropriate for a laundry entertainment room in New Orleans.
Liked everything but the paint, anyone with OCD, the paint job would drive them crazy🤪
Totally impressive! Is there any space that Monica cannot come up with super great alteration ideas for? Allen's idea for a "three-in-one" room = top-notch thinking! Like Allen, I wondered about the painted line idea; however, it gives a unique look...although, personally this gal would rather NOT have them. That home is lovely!
Love the finished result of this room.
I have the same IKEA cupboard above my washing units, but I added some doors to half of mine, the looks super good and are great for organisation,
Monica you're the bomb diggity! I love your show. I think I've binged watched all of your videos and can't wait for this new season. You're so real and I love the diversity. It's refreshing. Subscriber for life. Great work! ❤️ gina
I loved it! Thought for sure the washer and dryer would have been enclosed more in a hidden area
I wasn't sure about the stripes, but it turned out whimsical and almost circus-like, a fun aspect of the party laundry room.
My fiance and I just moved, and our laundry room is HUGE. We actually talked about making it a mudroom/playroom for the kids, so this gives us a little bit of a guide...just take away the alcohol and add juice boxes!!
Yes I love Monica. Great teacher too !
I love this, a pretty laundry, and spaces for other things that are useful in a transitional space.
Want to do the bench\bar as a folding desk top for crafting! 👍❤️ Thanks for the info and instructions 👍.
Fabulous. Amazing creativity and practical.
My boyfriend & I just moved into an apartment with a washer/dryer inside the apartment... we’ve been here for roughly two months. My boyfriend hasn’t hardly even been in the laundry room since we moved. 😂 I love doing laundry!
