So I thought this was an amazing idea: Combine a home office with a laundry room! Since Jen has 3 kids and works from home, she needed a place to escape the chaos and focus on work, while squeezing in some laundry multitasking. This fabulous space is tucked down in the finished walk-out basement, which includes a family room, a bathroom, and a gym {no, this isn't a real estate listing.} She doesn't have the "before" shots handy, but apparently it was a bare-light-bulb-in-a-spooky-side-room kind of deal. Kind of like my basement. Anyway. Look how pretty! I love these cabinets. They're rustic and glam at the same time...how is that possible?! Check out this utility sink {it feels funny to call it that, because it's so fancy!} These counters are the perfect complement to the cabinets. Jen said they were part of a remnant slab, so they were a bargain too. Love that! And how cute are these bird decals? The cabinet {below} was originally supposed to be installed above the utility sink, but I think it works great above the shoe cubbies: Source: sixteenfourteen.weebly.com via sixteen fourteen on Pinterest Below is Jen's {very neat} desk. The rug is an indoor/outdoor rug from Ballard. And here's a shot of the whole room... Project Summary

What a great idea! I love the stainless steel desktop too - I wouldn't have thought of that, but it totally makes sense in a laundry room/office!

What a great room! Such smart thinking in the use and organization of it. But my desk would NEVER look that neat! My laundry room (if it can be called that) is the one area of my house I really need to work on. It is in a closet...and I have a top loading washer and dryer...just waiting on them to die so that I can replace them with front loaders.

Thanks all for the comments on my laundry room! I do have one confession to make, my desk doesn't usually look like that :-), I cleaned it for Aimee's (and your) benefit. I will say, my husband went kicking and screaming into this project and we all so totally love the room, great $$$ money spent. Thanks again for the positive comments...
