A few weeks back I spied this image from a laundry room over at Milk & Honey Home

Pretty cool, huh?

It got me rethinking my plans for our laundry room in the new place. We were going to have them put in the regular builders sink and cabinets, but had them scrap those plans and just put in the rough plumbing for a sink so I can recreate this on my own.

I luuuuurve the subway tile going up the wall behind this one. That’s gonna have to happen.

Here’s another using nesting tables as the wash stand. I like the idea of having another flat surface to sit things on.

I’ve already ordered a faucet similar to the one in the first photo and have sweet talked my way into them setting up the plumbing to accommodate it.

What do you think? A little too different or do you love it??

No, I love it. Ours is a ghetto plastic one, so anything is nicer than that. 🙂

But there have been a few occasions where shady people come through, become violent with homeowners who are not interested in what they are “selling”, and have even tried forcing themselves into homes….
