Thank you all for the kind comments. It's so exciting to see my laundry room on Apartment Therapy. Julia did a fantastic post, and the little hipster was super happy to see her face on the home page!

My inspiration for the wall color was Benjamin Moore's Antique Pewter, but during this remodel it was important to us to locally source as many of our materials as we could, so I picked out the closest match I could find at our small town hardware store. It's Valspar Medallion Basilica Grey in satin. I talked about how I chose the paint color in this piece that I wrote for the blog Eleven11Women. http://11letters.tumblr.com/post/13060931169/a-cup-of-november.

The black and white checkered flooring was purchased from our local furniture store. It's from Mannington's Resilient line, which is made with recycled content; the pattern is called Checkpoint. We used the same flooring in our new bathroom; you can check out that Before & After post at http://potlucklove.com/2012/02/24/the-new-bathroom/.

The countertop color is Vibrant Green MicroDot™ by Formica, one of the brightest, boldest colors that our local cabinetmakers offered, and it looks even better in person. I love it! You can see the link to the countertop, flooring and paint choices, plus lots of other laundry room ideas that I was inspired by on my project board at http://pinterest.com/ktlnvan/new-laundry-room-bathroom/.

As for the window, it's still there- directly across from the laundry room. It's now part of our new entryway, which is not quite finished yet. Today I'm headed to my favorite antique store (http://www.greenoakantiques.com/) in search of 4 old lockers to hold the kids backpacks and coats. Check back soon at PotluckLove.com to see pictures of the new entryway, and that old window!
