We really love how we transformed this unused area of our house! after all our paper drawings, sketches, daily trips to bunnings, months of DIY labour in 2024. 🤎

Materials

Easy Crafy VJ boards for new ceilings and part of toilet room wall, concrete, nails, glue, tools, paint, hardwares.

Hi @balaymiDIYreno,

That is a wonderful mud room and laundry!

It is bright and clean with incredibly sharp finishes. I imagine you'll get some fantastic use out of it, but don't expect it to stay that clean.

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Jacob! Yes, I agree with you, with all my boys footy shoes and sandy school clothes, its hard to keep it pristine! I would love to share some images of its before.

It is always interesting, and quite eye-opening if you've never done it before, to see a messy construction site turn into a finished product.

In your case, from the almost bare dirt to a finished mud room, the transformation is drastic.

Thank you for sharing the progress shots @balaymiDIYreno.

Yes! I always feel nostalgic whenever I walk into this space. Thank you for your kind words, this whole area including pool and outdoor patio/barbecue area took at least 5 whole months of daily hardwork by dear husband to reach

our vision for the space. 🤎 I have shared his drawings and sketches of the area.

Such a beautiful laundry room. Where did you source the cupboards and tiles?

Hello @Girlfromgoldie1

Let me tag @balaymiDIYreno to make them aware of your question. I totally agree, this has to be one of the best-looking laundry conversions I've seen.

Hello! Thank you for your kind words! We sent our final drawings and exact measurements to a local family-owned flat-pack cabinet makers, Provence Brothers. They were fantastic and fast! They cut-to-size the cabinets to your specifications and finishing. I had fun helping hubby assemble the cabinets, but took a while to do as there were too many pieces. The beautiful natural Travertine tiles were sourced from a local importer, they are in Osborne Park, WA. They instructed my hubby on how to best handle and install travertine in french pattern. It was a very tedious process for hubby, 2 weeks and a lot of trial and error, and a lot of broken tiles. Thanks

Thank you very much. We are in deep awe of what we have accomplished last year. I really do enjoy the long time I spend in this area now. We hope to save up and do our kitchen and bedrooms soon.
