Colors & Whites in the Laundry Room
It’s Day 2 of “Paint Color Week” here at my humble little blog, leading up to my Paint Color Link Party coming up on Thursday, which I hope you’ll all link up to! Meanwhile, I told you about my favorite white yesterday & it seems to be the color of the moment as we have several inches of white everywhere you look here in our part of Tennessee. There’s enough snow here to shut down half the town, but like all good Southerners, we stocked up on our bread & milk beforehand. (Read my sister’s post here for more about that.) Anyone else snowed in where you are? It seems we’ll be snowed in for days, which leaves me plenty of time to tell you about my favorite paint colors. Today I thought I’d tell you about my Laundry Room cabinet color, as I have had several questions about them in the past. Here a few pics–minus the piles & piles of wet & snowy laundry due to the aforementioned snow. The color is Recycled Glass by Sherwin Williams, and I found it when I was searching for a good Martha Stewart green. (By the way, the wall color is my favorite Nebulous White from the Master Bedroom I told you about yesterday.) Some of you have asked if I painted these cabinets myself after we moved in, and the answer is no. I had the cabinet guy do it when he built them. This color was a little out of the ordinary for him, but after he got used to the idea, he really got into it, I think. And if you’re looking for a nice Martha Stewart green, you might like it, too.Hopefully sometime this year I’ll get a window treatment up in the laundry room as well. In fact, that might be a good excuse to kick in the four wheel drive & get to Hobby Lobby. Don’t forget to stop back by for more paint color ideas this week!

I pondered a trip to Hobby Lobby today, but us northerners are getting a little more snow than you guys and I figured craft paper, flowers, and twine just weren't worth the deductible for our car insurance! 😉

This is my, as well as I'm sure every woman's, fantasy laundry room. Lucky you! I love the cabinet color!

What a great green, Julie! Thanks for sharing the color. Once we downsize I'm sure I'll be looking for some paint color recommendations, so I'm looking forward to Thursday.

WOW! What an amazing laundry room 🙂 I'm loving your color posts – and I might use that color in my laundry room! (I'll do a post and let you know if I do!). I'm looking forward to the rest of your colors -and to Thursday's party as we just built a house and every wall is antique white!!
We are snowed in here in Greenville, SC too!

Julie, I am LOVING your laundry room and those cabinets are FAB-U-LOUS!!! Love that huge space of awesomeness! I love paint too. We had a huge change take place in our house last March when we had the first floor painted. Ah, to have colors that finally reflect our taste and style is bliss indeed. Here is the link to my post…

If my laundry room was half that size I'd put a cot in there and sleep in it…to celebrate my enormous laundry room! Love your space.

It looks great, Julie- I love that color -it is fresh and clean looking and even though I think white in a laundry room this REALLY gives a nice pop of color. Good choice! Hugs- Diana

You're laundry room is fabulous. Right now I am stuck with a laundry closet in my hallway. I'll be moving in a few months (hopefully back to TN as a matter of fact, I miss home!) Fingers crossed that I can find a laundry room as large as yours! I hate the fact that I have a clothes drying rack always set up in my guest bedroom.
The cabinets, paint color, and draw pulls are awesome. I have laundry room envy.

What a fun room… seriously could removing stains get anymore inspiring with those cupboards?? You can get away with so much in a laundry room!
