LAUNDRY ROOM REVEAL! The marble floors, paint, and new cabinets are beautiful, but the best part is that every inch of this room now has a purpose.

More storage (still don’t understand why our house has ZERO linen closets), a dedicated project cleanup zone, somewhere to charge our vacuum and smart mop, and a better place to air dry clothes. What’s your favorite part of our laundry room project?

We wanted our laundry sink area to work harder and serve more than just one purpose. Now it helps with project cleanup, adds extra storage, functions as a laundry sink, and even doubles as a drying rack for hanging clothes.

When it came to choosing a sink, we were surprised by how expensive dedicated laundry sinks can be. The sink and faucet we found from felt like the perfect balance of budget, function, and style, giving us everything we needed without compromising on the look of the space

We needed a way to conceal both our laundry hookups and the large gap behind our washer and dryer due to the dryer duct, but wanted something that made getting back there when needed easily accessible. We thought a café curtain under mounted to the cabinets could be the perfect compromise! We went for celia striped café curtain in light blue, under mounted with an adhesive peel and stick curtain track. This was so quick to install (minus having to impatiently wait 24 hours after installing the track to actually hang the curtains) and the result is exactly what we were looking for!

We found the perfect paint color for our laundry room! After installing our checkerboard marble floor, choosing a color felt harder than expected because we didn’t have a clear vision for the space. made it so much easier, seeing full-size samples in the room helped us confidently land on Benjamin Moore Briarwood.

Can you renovate with your partner? Honestly, it’s a learned skill 😅 Over the years we’ve figured out how to divide and conquer on projects like this and tiling is actually one of the renovation tasks that goes really well for us. Kam does his part and I do mine!

We officially survived another round of tiling together and finally finished installing this gorgeous 6x6 Bardiglio Lite marble tile from

Today we finished prepping our laundry room floors for marble tile by removing the old vinyl flooring, installing peel and stick Schluter DITRA underlayment, and getting everything ready for tile day. Prep work isn’t glamorous, but it is a really important step before tiling!

Also, once again, we were amazed at how easy the peel and stick DITRA is to install! Would you use this for your next tile project??
