- Hey friends, let's remodel a laundry room! This video was sponsored by Earth Breeze. Go to earthbreeze.co... to get started with 40% off Earth Breeze Eco Sheets!
Our laundry room was dark, dreary, and just kind of...sad. It had been on my to do list for a WHILE, but I just hadn't decided exactly what I wanted to do in here. Until now.
If you remember a while back (two years ago), I did replace the swinging door with a sliding door--which was a vast improvement of its own: • How to Build a Modern ...
But now, it was finally time to shift focus to INSIDE the room. My goal was to add practical storage, maximum countertop space, and brighten things up. I think I succeeded. Follow along to see if you agree.

I’ve been following you for years. You are a master carpenter, I don’t give out those kind of compliments very often! I’m a 40 year, retired painting contractor. My one suggestion when you are rolling to always try ( if possible ) to use a pole, in your case a would have used a short one or a cut off threaded wood handle to help in the tight areas. You can thank me later!😂😂😂☮✌🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words! Haha I looked and looked and I know I have a pole somewhere but I couldn’t find it 🙈
The after looks so much brighter. A much more appealing space to work in now. Nice to see a project where you got to do so much of the painting you love so much.
Haha there was definitely a lot of painting for this 🙈🤣 but once it was done, I guess it was worth it.
I’ll be happy to lay down the paint brush for a while though! Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
@@WoodshopDiaries The end result was definitely worth it! Have a great weekend as well!!
The color of paint on cabinets is beautiful. I think it stated SW StarDew. The laundry room came out awesome. As always your work is very professional and clean. Have a great weekend Shara. Steve
Thank you! The light blue gives just the right amount of color in here And yes, it’s Stardew 😊 I appreciate you watching and I hope you have a great weekend as well! 😎
I love it 🥰. Also, I think a mirror 🪞 would be a great addition to the beautiful laundry room 😊. Thank you for sharing your hard work and inspiring us along the way
It looks so good! You're so good at this! I look forward to each project you post on here! ❤❤
You’re so kind! I appreciate you following along and enjoying the projects!
Out of all of your videos this is one of my favorites of you , this laundry room is amazing!! Im always inspired 😊
A very nice transformation! The colors are beautiful. You’ve designed the optimal storage solution for a laundry room. Your build is great. Those levels are sneaky and try to hide occasionally! lol…. I missed Lou and Bubs in this one! Glad you had help with some of the heavy lifting. Thanks for sharing this one. Have a great weekend Shara!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy with how it turned out! You’re right about those levels-I had to wrestle the washing machine to get it back 🤣 Bubs and lou got tired of following me back and forth between the house and the shop (I don’t blame them…I got tired of taking that trip as well!) so they mostly ended up hanging out on the porch during this one. Hopefully they’ll be back in the next video or two! Thanks so much for watching and following along-I truly appreciate it. Have a wonderful weekend as well!
It's always great to see your projects come together Shara. You make it all look so easy! Thanks for including the mismeasurement and your reaction. I always assume that you don't make mistakes. An eighth of an inch doesn't seem egregious, but it doesn't work. Darn! Your laundry room looks fantastic now! Thanks for sharing your expertise!
My dad always says the only difference in a professional and an amateur is that a pro knows how to fix their mistakes. I make a lot of them so I have a lot of experience fixing them 🙈🤣
Sometimes that 1/8” doesn’t make a difference. But sometimes it does-ugh! At the end of the day, everything came together and I’m really excited with how it turned out. Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
.@@WoodshopDiaries So true! I hope your dad taught you how to build things. It's nice to dream that one man spent the time with his daughter.
As a person that doesn't have a laundry room both of them are very nice but yes the latter one would be the choice and as always your thinking about your pet so of course there's a spot for him. Thanks for Sharing and happy laundry day...
Those counter tops are HEAVY! I was shocked to see you carry them by yourself. 😅
Beautiful job! I LOVE the color of the cabinets! You did a great job with everything!!! ❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!
Goddd that green gray wall color paint made my skin crawl, great work!! 🎉🎉
Shara, what software program do you use to visualize your plan? I'm a new subscriber so I may have missed it in previous posts. Thanks, Carol
Amazing work, Shara! You really transformed the place! 😃
BTW, my mother came here and said your hair is really beautiful! Then I started to remember when I had that long of a hair... Every bath was a nightmare! 😂
Seriously, kudos for not cutting it! Nowadays my hair is so short I don't even need to comb it. 😬
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you so much! Haha long hair has its pros and cons. It takes forever to wash and dry 🤣 i get that! I occasionally think about cutting it but then I remember how long it took to grow 🙈 so for now, I’ll keep it haha. I appreciate you watching and hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!
Really great transformation and much user-friendly and usable space
Thank you so much! I really love having the extra countertop space now and being able to hide things behind the doors haha! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!
@WoodshopDiaries what software do you use for the 3D layout design? and do you use anything for your cabinet designs?
Wow, what a fantastic transformation! Skills and a good eye for design ... your husband is a lucky man. 😊
Impressive redo of your laundry room. It's a show place now.
Thanks again Shara. I just moved to another home and have a lot to DIY (including a combined bathroom/laundryroom). One is always looking for enough space to put things in or on.
Your "project" was awesome and looks very nice with simple solutions. See you next time and have a nice weekend (or what's left of it).
And ...... no metrics or imperial this time 🙂. Greetings from the other side of the pond ....... the Netherlands.
Renovating can be overwhelming. Good luck with your projects in your new home! I hope this helped give you some ideas 😊 I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙌
It looks great Ms Shara. I could see the pride in your face and well deserved.
Shara, I was so depressed when I saw the gray walls in your laundry room and found myself nodding enthusiastically when you brought out the white paint to change that. It was so much fun to see the last few video lessons applied in this video. I have to appreciate the work you put in and your ability to contortion yourself into those tight spaces. It's just starting to warm a little here so I'm looking forward to some projects soon. Thanks for Sharing!
You did a really good job with the laundry room. I like the drying rack that you installed. And agree with the countertop that needed an apron. It looks really good.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed watching it come together. That drying rack was probably my favorite little thing haha. I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Looks great!
Thank you so much! Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful laundry room Shara! Small rooms are always the hardest to work in but you did it, great job!
Looks great
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching!
Lovely transformation. Can you tell me the paint and color code for the cabinets?
Thank you! The paint is listed in the video description 😊
Wow, what an improvement. That came out really good.
The room looks great and the white wall color really brightens up everything! Thanks for sharing this.
Super nice upgrade!
Thank you! I’m so happy with how it turned out!
Looks really good Shara! I’ve always been amazed at how you are able to carry all those heavy pieces by yourself. Have a good weekend!
Looks great Shara, a lot of hard work went into this and it shows...what no bubbie??
Wow wow wow Shara !! 😀
That was an incredible transformation :).💥
Your building design skills are next level. 💯
I don't know what your plans and dreams are but I hope they are big. 💭😀
There is no level too high for you to reach. 🙏
You guys have a blessed weekend and thanks for sharing !! 😇
Thank you so much! You’re so kind-I appreciate you cheering me on 😊 I hope you have a blessed weekend as well and thank you so much for watching and following along!
I need to do this, thanks for the inspiration! Your work is incredible!
You’re so kind! Thank you! I hope it gave you some ideas for your space!
Très beau travail j'aime beaucoup
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!
10/10!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 🙌 hope you have a great weekend!
Beautiful work!!🎉
YOU are amazing! This looks beautiful . I always get inspired when I watch your videos then I start a DIY project of my own. I quit mid way through because I realize I don't know what I'm doing 😂
Awesome. I want to do the same to my laundry room, but the bathroom is higher on the list. for every project that gets checked off the list, 2 more get added.
I understand how that goes! I hope your projects go smoothly!
What an awesome transformation!!! I wouldn't mind doing laundry with a gorgeous laundry room like that. Those open cabinets under the lower counter in back look like the perfect hideaway for Bubby if you put a blanket in there for him! Also, I think you solved a dilemma for me. I'm getting ready to build a new workbench but do not want to tackle building the top. I'm thinking those "countertops" you used might work just fine. I'm going to check them out. Thanks for another great video Shara......you always inspire me!
Beautiful work….looks awesome….been looking for some inspiration to remodel my laundry room…
Looks amazing! 🙌
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!
I’ve been using and Loving ❤ Earth Breeze laundry sheets for almost two years. I switched to Earth Breeze firstly because I’m older and didn’t have the strength to carry jugs of liquid detergent to my upstairs apartment. Secondly I don’t like all the wasteful plastic jugs going to a landfill. Thirdly, I think that gross goopy detergent in my machine and in our water system is bad for the environment.
Is there anything you can’t do. What a transformation. Xx
Wonderful build! I'd definitely like to get into cabinet building once I'm done converting my 100 year old garage into something other than a mouse/fox/possum house.
Nice transformation! Makes me want to revamp mine now.
Thank you! I upgraded mine because I just got to where I hated even going in there anymore. And I’ll say this after it’s finished: I don’t hate doing laundry anymore 🤣 I don’t love it. I just don’t hate it haha!
@@WoodshopDiaries hahahaha I get it! Sometimes a change is all we need.
Another awesome video. I'm always impressed by you're designs.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed this one! I was iffy about my design but it turned out better than I’d planned, thankfully 😅 I appreciate you watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Looks very nice. I am a bit surprised that you didn't build a pedestal cabinet for the washer and dryer just to make loading/unloading a bit easier. I have the same style appliances and the extra 12 inches height makes a world of difference for me. I do like how your room turned out.
Thank you! I considered a pedestal base but decided against it because I wanted the countertop space above the water and dryer more. Raising the countertop there an extra 12” would make it practically useless. So I chose countertop over pedestals.
Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a great weekend!
Amazing build Shara! I just ordered the same washer and dryer the other day.
Thank you! Knock on wood-we’ve had good luck with ours these last several years. I was hesitant to switch to a “fancy set” because I’ve always had the cheapest, least fancy washer and dryer. But they’ve been great. Our favorite feature is the “refresh” cycle on the dryer. It gets wrinkles out in like 15 minutes so we never iron anymore 🤣
You need a big sign Laundry at a slant.would look well.
Let's file this under: Videos I cannot show my wife 🤣
Too late for me! She's looking over my shoulder...lol At least she knows I need to finish the wine barrel planters and 4 more mobile tote shelves in the garage first.
😂😂😂😂
Beautiful ❤ !! This came out so nice, I really like the color of the cabinets
Amazing!!
Thank you so much! Have a great weekend!
Great job the after looks looks so much better
You're incredible! I really wanna do my laundry now ❤
Love it!
Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great day!
I always eagerly wait for your videos, another awesome video!!
So happy you enjoy them!! I truly appreciate you watching and following along. Have a great weekend! 😎
Oh. My. Goodness. You have some mad skills!!
Very beautiful work.... What's the next project building a house? I'm sure you could. 😊
Shara you are so amazing. That is one great transformation. Beautiful and you made it look so simple. Great Job.
What a great build. So much storage!
Wow, you are impressive!❤
Beautiful work, Shara! You are inspiring and very helpful as you show and explain. I enjoy your content ☺️
Great job!

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing

Cheers. You too.

Aw yay, the cook's tour! One really doesn't get a good feel for how extensively you remade that space just from the prior build videos... you really transformed the whole space from "just barely workable" to an elegant workspace with a cool design vibe all for the price of one! P.S. The world wants to know... 7:58 did you ever find that level??😊
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed watching it come together. I am really happy with how it turned out and I’m happIER doing laundry in here 😁
And yes, thankfully I did retrieve the level, but it took some wrestling with the washing machine to get it 🙈🤣 I almost didn’t win.
Did you make the sliding door? Room looks great!
Thank you! I did 😊 here a link to the door video: How to Build a Modern Sliding Door with Frosted Glass Panels

Thanks very much!
Shara, would you mind telling me what saw blade you used to cut the countertops?
I wish I had a laundry room this size. Mine Is literally a hallway super cramped
If I have LVPs, do I need to remove it before installing cabinets?
Yay top 23 and top 2 likes and comments. Love this channel. Best to you and your family. Thanks for making this video.
You showed up just in time! Thank you so much for watching and I hope you and yours have a wonderful weekend!
I'm wondering why you didn't put storage bases under the washer and dryer? That would give you space for your laundry baskets and make the openings for the appliances higher and kinder to your back. If the bases had wheels it would be easier to pull the washer and dryer out to look behind, when needed.
I didn’t want or need storage under the machines and the connections for the dryer are only 1” from the ground. So bases would be in the way of those and also I wanted the countertop space. Raising the machines even higher would make the countertops too tall to be useful for anything. So this set up worked best for our needs.
You did a beautiful job!
@@WoodshopDiaries
What software is that you used to create the plan?
Where did you get those doors
Cabinet doors? I made them: ruclips.net/video/j52AlYLT-UU/видео.htmlsi=raMORh42Lvl-s7lM
Sliding door? I made it: ruclips.net/video/B2J9nit6UuA/видео.htmlsi=mYHGddqLml0au6BP
What do you heat your shop with
It’s not heated
Well hopefully your not in a cold part of the country
I’d do this but I already put your hall tree in my laundry area already so…😅
Hey, that works too! 😍
It looks great!
