I finally finished something...the laundry room! Today it looks like this:
A few months ago it looked like this:
Calling it a laundry "room" is really generous. It's more like a laundry "closet" with a pocket door.
The single wire shelf was not cutting it!
Don't judge my ironing board cover. I need a new one, okay?
Unsightly wires and cords.
And, of course, the boob light.
We added upper cabinets that go all the way to the ceiling to maximize storage. I'm hoping all of the extra storage will come in handy when I start
hoarding couponing and fill it up with free laundry detergent.
I also used baskets/tins to organize all the laundry stuff. One of my favorite things in the room is the new folding table. We were able to add the table, with storage below, by stacking the washer and dryer.
It also provides a space for me to display a picture of my babies!
And my vintage clothes pins that I found at my grandmother's house.
We also added a shelf with a hanging bar. My builder thought I was crazy when I said I wanted to use a plumbing pipe as a hanging bar.
Beverage tubs snagged from Target serve as a great way to contain all of the laundry detergent. I love Target.
The boob light was replaced with this Ikea treasure.
Hidden behind the curtain are the laundry basket and trash can.
I used a rolling basket to create a pull out "drawer" to house the trash can and bleach.
The ironing board easily slides beside the washer and dryer. I couldn't resist painting the fuse box with chalkboard paint. I can't wait to write the laundry schedule on the new chalkboard, but I have to wait 24 hours to let the paint cure.
I'll leave you with the cutest thing that was in the room tonight. My little helper, Lily.
