Much improved

We're on our way to a fully redone (except for the floor) laundry room. We're not quite there yet but I wanted to share some pictures. I would love to have a fancy laundry room and I would love to have it for free but alas, that isn't the way life goes so this is our new and improved budget-friendly laundry room. The husband worked really hard on so much of this last week and I'm so appreciative!!

A reminder of what was before.


 What we did:
  • Painted (using leftover paint)
  • Installed new shelving
  • Reused old shelving for a newly located clothing bar
  • Installed new wall cabinets and a new floor cabinet with a counter (ikea)
  • Installed new heavy duty shelving to store stuff (ikea)
  • Sewed curtain and sink skirt and installed both (ikea, fabric on sale from joann fabric) 







     



    What's in the works:
    1. A drying rack that attaches to the wall
    2. A few more accessories like baskets for the shelving (reusing the current tubs elsewhere in the house)
    3. Revamp the roller curtain currently on door (maybe by stenciling)
    4. Hang these hooks

      1. Hi, love what you have done! Great use of space. Have you seen the vinyl decals that are hot right now for laundry rooms and other rooms. Don't know if they are hard to take down when you tire of them but just a suggestion! Take care
