Can a laundry room have French Country style? Plans for my laundry room update Fall 2019 are to replace damaged sheetrock, to update the washing machine and dryer connections, and to insulate the room better to keep it warmer in the winter. What began as purely functional updates expanded to give the room the style I love ... French Country.
