Laundry Room Makeover! | Easy DIY Laundry Countertop

- In this video, I’ll be doing a laundry room makeover by making an Easy DIY laundry countertop using white oak finished with Rubio monocoat, cotton white. I’ll walk you through milling the lumber, doing the panel glue up, installing supports to the wall studs, finishing with Rubio monocoat (how to stain wood), and then installing the top.
A laundry room countertop is a great laundry room update and a great laundry room makeover. It also is a nice surface for folding clothes and prevents things from falling behind the washer and dryer.

Great work! Laser levels never work in my house. All must hangings must be set according to the eyeballing of my wife. 😂
So, are all of your pictures unlevel by the same angle?
😂🤣
Great job , I’m doing mine in pine ply wood and then will paint it
That's a good way to go as well.
Would love to see a table-top with a hinge since I have at top load washing machine. Building an island in the laundry room.
I would imagine it would be the same except cut out the area you want to fold up. Then add a hinge and a stop
Looks great! A lot of good tips. Good video.
I appreciate that.
Great build buddy! Looks great!
Thank you, my wife loves it.
Ooo lasers! I love lasers! Congrats on using Rubio! You're a real TH-camr now!
Dang straight. 😆
Nice, thank you!
You're welcome!
That was quite an expensive laundry countertop. :). I guess that’s the price of beauty :)
Way cheaper than quartz, which was my other option! I probably have $250 into it. Not that bad to me.
Nice! Now I just need to buy $1000 in equipment to make it 😊
Before I had these tools, I still would have built it with a belt sander and a circular saw. I'm crazy and I never let a lack of tools stop me.
@@HowIDoThingsDIY you are absolutely right. Lack of motivation and determination is the culprit
Hahah. If you really want to make something, you'll figure out a way.
These equipment is more than $1000
Hi, great work! I have the same w&d as yours, I wonder how much space do you need between washer dryer and the countertop? If I use the prefabricated butcher block and install it like you did here, do you think its strong enough to hold a microwave plus a Breville espresso maker?
I left about 2". Mines plenty strong but if you're worried you could add a support in between the washer and dryer that rests on the floor.
Amazing! You deserve more viewers. Subscribed!
Thanks! I really appreciate that! Lots more content coming.
what did you use to make the tiny passes off the edge of the countertop?
To make it shorter? My track saw.
Hell of a job brother!!! That’s my next project my ol lady wants me to do. What router bit size did you use?
Thank you! I don't recall the router bit size, but it was small. Just enough to break the edge. Probably 1/8" or 1/4".
If only I had all those tools lol
I get that! I didn't used to have all these tools, but I still figured out how to do things. Sometimes, you have to get creative, and you can still make something almost as good. Thanks for the comment.
nice project and looks great. my laundry has a cabinet with a sink on the other side. only one side is drywall. any suggestions on how to install the countertop?
Is there enough roto build a half wall to support the counter?
@@HowIDoThingsDIY - yes, but is a very narrow space with around 6 inches gap. So you are saying build a vertical wall all the way to the counter cabinets and then install the laundry counter top on that for one side?
If I'm understanding, yes. If you have enough space for a 2x4 wall there, build it to the height of the contertop and connect it to the back wall. Then you should have plenty of support for the new contertop
What is the depth of this counter top you made from front to back ? Thank you!
33 3/4"
How thick is the wood you are using?
Well, I planed it just to clean it up. But I think it's somewhere between 3/4"-1". Thanks for the comment!
Where did you get those rubber pads?
I just had them laying around, but you could also furniture feet pads from. Amazon or Home Depot.
I like the project and it's DIY but you need like 45 different tools and none are basic nor cheap
Ya, I suppose. But it's meant for inspiration. You can also buy similar countertops premade. I appreciate the comment.
Jesus how many steps were there
I don't know. A few. I have chapters. But honestly, this was one of my easier builds. Thanks for the comment.
