Hey there, Sweet Friends, do you like doing laundry? It's Cynthia Nessel at Create With Cynthia. I hate laundry and I can’t even imagine, back in the day, before washing machines. Today, I'm going to show you how I transform my Laundry Closet to make it functional and pretty.

Me and laundry kindof have a love hate relationship. It’s not the doing laundry part I hate. It’s the folding and putting away part I hate.There’s nothing nicer than a clean pair of clothes, or a beautiful scented set of sheets on the bed. Unfortunately, laundry piles up quickly with my family of five. Two growing boys get dirty!

I decided to update my laundry closet to make it pretty. I was hoping it would motivate me to do the laundry.

Laundry Closet’s that have no storage can be tricky! This closet was super tricky because literally there is no where to store everything you need to do laundry.

I thought to my self. What’s a girl gonna do! And for months I did nothing, but then HomeTalk motivated me to fix things up with a challenge.

Here is my completed Laundry Closet. So, let me tell you what you need to make over a Laundry Closet that lacks any room for storage and supplies! All you need is three things!

Number one; purchase a shoe organizer to hang on the door, number two; purchase labels or name tags so you know what is in each compartment and number three; make yourself a pretty laundry sign. Then, put it all together.

Step one: Hang your shoe organizer with name tags.

Step two: I used badge holders which safety pinned onto the shoe organizer and printed out the name tags.

Step three: Fill up the shoe organizer with laundry detergent, fabric softener, bleach, dryer sheets, stain remover, clothes pins, a lint brush, a bag for leftover lint, a spot for lost socks and anything else you need to do your laundry.

Step four: Hang your laundry sign.

My pretty laundry closet made me feel alot better about doing laundry. The Laundry Sign DIY is on my website at https://createwithcynthia.com/tips-on-stenciling-and-a-laundry-sign/

What do you think of my makeover, Sweet Friends?

I kind of have a thing about collecting old laundry stuff. The two iron’s were my grandmother’s. One of the iron’s does’t even come with a plug, now that’s old. Can you even imagine those days!

Nowadays, you can just pull out your cell phone, jump on the internet and schedule the Laundry Service to pick up your dirty laundry. Isn’t it crazy how times have changed.I Repurposed a Shutter into a Table/Shelf . It was a fun project I did last month and you can read about it here. Now it holds all of my old irons and things. I also created a video on the Furniture Makeover – Repurposing Shutters into a Table or Shelf.

You can watch my other videos on my Create With Cynthia You Tube channel.Now go out there and create something.Cynthia

Does anybody know of a place where you can find something much like a shoe organizer but with bigger pockets? Maybe three times the size of these pockets?
