the laundry room: phase 1

the laundry room in our new home is windowless, so we knew that we wanted something a little brighter than what was already there. & also something a little more soothing. you know, a color that makes you happy being in there. well, as happy as one can be doing laundry, that is.

we started with a color that has some yellow undertones. not loving the way that makes this room feel. so...

i've been in love with restoration hardware's 'silver sage' for, um, ever. but i get a great discount at sherwin williams. after a little investigating, we found the equivalent at sherwin williams. it's called 'comfort gray' and it's gorgeous. it's this warm silvery, green {duh. silver. sage.}. it looks a little bluer in the photo than it is in real life, but isn't it still pretty? it looks great on the walls, and i definitely think it brightens up the room, makes the trim pop {and we've got a white washer/dryer on the way}. it just feels fresh. and it'll be the kick-off color for the rest of the house {staying with nice, warm, but brighter tones}. i think i might even use it for the bonus room.

stay tuned for the rest of the laundry room updates. the washer/dryer are being delivered this morning. and we have plans for storage on the shelves and for storage in other unique spots.
