Laundry Room Edition: The Vintage Inspired Makeover
Our laundry room just wasn't functional!
With a small budget and a lot of elbow grease, my husband and I transformed our laundry room Get tutorial here
The Pegboard
My favourite part is this giant pegboard we made. We installed, caulked and painted: fantastic for storage! Get tutorial here
Vintage decor helped complete the look
Some DIY cafe curtains and a vintage washboard add some interest to the room. Get tutorial here
I even love our washer and dryer!
This cherry red washer and dryer were the inspiration for the red and aqua / mint colour scheme. Get tutorial here
Finished!
We are SO happy with our newly organized laundry room. It makes me want to do MORE laundry... well, almost. Get tutorial here
Nobody likes laundry!
To make things a little easier, I transformed an old bookshelf into a laundry basket station. Hello, organization! Get tutorial here
AFTER: So organized!
There you have it! The finished product in all of its laundry glory. Get tutorial here
Tiny Laundry Room Remodel
We turned our tiny, dysfunctional laundry room into a beautiful and functional space! Get tutorial here
Hanging space is a must in a laundry room
Create this over-the-door valet to hang dry clothes without drying Get tutorial here
Add a folding station
Create a folding platform to sit on top of your appliances. We stained plywood to look like butcherblock Get tutorial here
These were in bad shape
They were really grungy, and the sides were bending inward. Not very classy for my new bedroom! Get tutorial here
We reinforced the sides with wood
To make them more sturdy, my husband added wood to brace the frames. Get tutorial here
Then I painted them
I used gloss paint. They had a canvas finish but it took the paint well. I did have to give them 3 coats each Get tutorial here
The after photo!
They matched perfectly and looked classy in my new bedroom. Get tutorial here
Laundry Room Budget Makeover
For years I've dealt with a decent-sized laundry room that had absolutely no storage. It was time for a change! Get tutorial here
We added some funky lighting
I added a light I made from a pendant kit and candle holder Get tutorial here
The After
The total project only took a couple of days and has been great! Everything feels so much more organized! Get tutorial here
