Laundry Room Makeover Reveal

Laundry Room Makeover Reveal.  It’s always so fun to take a room that looks really sad and make it fun.  I love room makeovers and my laundry room makeover is a fun one.  I am so thrilled that this post is being featured in the Hometalk Email Newsletter today.  If you missed it, hope you enjoy it.

My laundry room is really small, just the width of a washer and dryer and a walk-thru from the kitchen to the garage.  Really plain and builder basic for sure.

When we moved in, I added a few accessories and called it good. It functioned but really didn’t look like the rest of my house.

 

I found a picture on Pinterest that became my inspiration.   It came from a blog called Stay Home Style.  This is a fairly new blog, so hop over and say hi to her, she has fabulous style.

 

Adding a shelf above the washer and dryer and doing a DIY Painted Feature Wall would bring this room to life.  So I took all the accessories down and got busy patching all the holes and painting.  You can see my step-by-step tutorial here.  (As I said when I started the project, I am not replacing my appliances.  Since Jim passed I only have about 4 loads a week for just me, so buying new appliances just for looks doesn’t make sense to me.  These appliances work beautifully, so they stay.)

When the wall was done, the fun part began.  Adding a few fun and useful accessories. ( I bought a white shelf from Lowes and cut it down to size.  I used the cut pieces to make braces for the wall to hold the shelf.

 

 

 

I shopped my stash and added back in the washboard and tin scoop that I had in here previously.  I bought the white yarn basket to hold some of my cleaning cloths.  A faux ivy adds a little life to the room.

I think bringing in some fun accessories just for fun always makes a room interesting.  I found a beverage jar to use for my detergent.  Love that it had a wooden top too.  I’ve added a decal that says “laundry detergent”.  The larger basket holds more cleaning supplies.

 

I love how it turned out and now I think it feels like me.
