Sponsored by LL Flooring and ShopStyle. Over the weekend, we made a huge upgrade to our small laundry room and had a new butcher block countertop installed over our washer and dryer from LL Flooring. LL Flooring offers high quality flooring options from hardwood flooring, engineered hardwood flooring and laminate flooring and all the supplies you need from your flooring project at great value. They even offer services like professional installation with their floors! In addition to flooring, LL Flooring also offers a large selection of butcher block countertops in several varieties of wood and butcher block island counters.

I partnered with LL Flooring and ShopStyle on updating my laundry room with new counters, all opinions and words are my own. Here’s my laundry room before, not bad but the old plywood counters didn’t perfectly fit thanks to our uneven walls and easily stained.

I visited my local LL Flooring store to look at Butcher Block counter options in person. After looking at the countertop options, I decided to use a butcher block island countertop that would give me the depth to sit above my washer and dryer. The butcher block counters LL Flooring offers are so beautiful! In fact they offer over eight different species of butcher block counters. After looking at all the wood species, I quickly fell in love with the American Walnut, Unfinished Maple and Unfinished White Oak.

I love the timeless look of butcher block and how much warmth and beauty they add to spaces. When my husband and I installed our old counter, I knew someday we’d replace it with a butcher block, the beauty of butcher block is undeniable.

After looking at all the options, I decided the Unfinished White Oak would be a beautiful addition in my laundry room.

Over the weekend, my Contractor Installer came to my home and measured our laundry room and confirmed that our walls are very uneven! Thankfully he was able to create a template using the old plywood and make adjustments to ensure a tight fit. My installer used to make butcher block blocks and was very impressed with the quality and beauty of the Unfinished White Oak from LL Flooring. To cut our butcher block counters, our installer used saw blades specifically for cutting butcher block countertops to ensure a clean cut. Our new countertop was heavy! He made adjustments to our existing framing to ensure they would hold the weight of the new counters.

The countertop installation was seamless! They looked incredible, the beauty of wood and all the tone variations just blew me away, I’m in love. The Butcher Block countertop update is a huge upgrade and now when I walk into my laundry room it feels substantial and looks amazing.

After the installation was complete, I applied Butcher Block Mineral Oil to the counter to help protect the wood from moisture and stains to help keep wood counters like new.

I love that mineral is also food grade and can be used on kitchen islands and kitchen counters. The mineral oil brought out the beauty in the wood tones and looks incredible! I’m so in love with how the project turned out!
