The laundry room is the hub of this renovation, with traffic converging from the kitchen, family room, exterior door, the two bedroom guest suite, and guest bath. We allowed a spacious area to accommodate this, plus laundry tasks, a pantry, and future wheelchair maneuverability. The client keeps her large collection of vintage china, crystal, and serving pieces for entertaining in the convenient white IKEA cabinetry drawers. We tucked the stacked washer and dryer into an alcove so it is not viewed from the family room or kitchen. The leather finish granite countertop looks like marble and provides folding and display space. The Versailles pattern travertine floor was matched to the existing from the adjacent kitchen.

Kitchen Renovation - Added Laundry room attached to Kitchen in unused garage space

Shaker style base and wall cabinets were installed. A maple butcher block countertop was used and mosaic tiles sit in between it all. The base cabinet was altered to accept a laundry basket below and the pull out drawer is now a pull out flat top to fold clothing on. The cat door was cut into the closet door and now it's just a matter of time until the cat aces it!

Laundry room with side-by-side washer dryer and white cabinets for storage

The unique layout of this laundry room required cabinets of varying depths to maximize storage. Shallow depth cabinets were used around a bump out. Drawer storage was added on one side and tall storage was added on the other. Laminate countertops were used on the left side and a matching wood countertop was used above the side by side washer and dryer. Slate tile was used on the floor and green glass subway tile was used on the backsplash.

Labra Design Build

Entered by a pocket door, the laundry room is anchored by a beautiful black and white, patterned, cement tile floor. The white shaker cabinets feature eye catching hardware. After tearing down this home's existing addition, we set out to create a new addition with a modern farmhouse feel that still blended seamlessly with the original house. The addition includes a kitchen great room, laundry room and sitting room. Outside, we perfectly aligned the cupola on top of the roof, with the upper story windows and those with the lower windows, giving the addition a clean and crisp look. Using granite from Chester County, mica schist stone and hardy plank siding on the exterior walls helped the addition to blend in seamlessly with the original house. Inside, we customized each new space by paying close attention to the little details. Reclaimed wood for the mantle and shelving, sleek and subtle lighting under the reclaimed shelves, unique wall and floor tile, recessed outlets in the island, walnut trim on the hood, paneled appliances, and repeating materials in a symmetrical way work together to give the interior a sophisticated yet comfortable feel.
