Laundry Room Makeover

This was a boring laundry room if there ever was a boring laundry room. Now, not so much. Custom built by homeowner.

Refacing Oak and Laminate Cabinets Diy

When we moved into our home in 1992 we had no cabinets in our laundry room. We needed some type of storage, and what was current at the time, but probably on their way out, were these fantastic laminate and oak cabinets. You could wipe them down easily, they could be bought off the shelf at the nearby home improvement store, they could be hung easily and the oak at the bottom of the cabinet would match perfectly with our builder grade cabinets right around the corner in the kitchen. OK, now I just seem to be making excuses why we bought the same ugly cabinets that have overstayed their welcome.

Laundry Room Makeover & A Renter Friendly Cabinet Makeover

Giving our laundry room a facelift was never really in my plans with as often as we move. And then my step-dad gave me 4 vintage wash boards and I couldn’t resist making over this space to showcase them. I spent about $20 total on this whole makeover by repurposing things I already had around the house. You’d be surprised how little you can spend on re-doing a room when you “shop” from around your own house. Here’s how I did it (and details on where I bought some of the things I already had on hand)…

Repurposed Laundry Room Cabinets With Country Chic Paints

We put a nice deck on the front porch but it ended up that everybody always used my back door which led directly into the laundry room. It looked terrible when we bought the place. I painted the cabinets white and yellow on the walls to make it brighter, but I always hated it. I never had a reason to get down and do something about it, until now!

Laundry Room Rearrangement

My dryer died on me a month ago. It came with the house I bought back in March. I didn’t really like the set that was here, but they worked and so I left them to run their course. I really hadn’t counted on the course being so short. In my long term plans, I envision a shower expansion to my powder room. That would be exactly where the washer was sitting. That being said, I opted to purchase a stacking washer & dryer and have the plumbing moved to accommodate the new set up. Now, at least, if I win the lottery, I can easily fit my new shower where my current project is now located. (I don’t play the lottery, so this will be a long, long time from now.)

DIY Folding Table and Basket Storage for the Laundry Room

Laundry is never any fun, but a bad laundry room setup makes it so much worse. In our old laundry room, we didn't have any space to fold clothes or store laundry, which made it quite a pain to work in there.

Inexpensive Laundry Room Makeover

When we bought our house almost 17 years ago it was only 1 1/2 years old. Sadly it was not in the best of shape when we bought it. Over the years we have updated it, fixed things that broke, all the things you do to your home. Then there is my entry way laundry room. This is not a room I spend "quality" time in. I have mostly ignored it, done a few things here and there to better organize it, etc. You can see more of my crazy creations here

Tiny Laundry Room Remodel

If you have a "galley" style laundry room that's just a pass through to your garage, it can still be stylish and functional! We turned our tiny, dysfunctional laundry room (which is really just a pass-through to our garage) into a beautiful and functional space!

9 Things to Know Before Painting Cabinets

When we did our laundry room makeover, I thought that building the shelf or hanging the wallpaperwould be the most challenging part of the design plan. I was surprised that painting the cabinets was actually the part that gave me the biggest headaches.I love the look of painted cabinets and now that I’ve learned some lessons, I’m ready to tackle the rest of the painted cabinets we have in this house. That is, as soon as I finish our front door makeover.

Painting Our Laundry Room Cabinets

We built these cabinets ourselves and it was our VERY first time ever to try this type of project! For someone who's never even attempted building cabinets before, I think my honey did an awesome job assembling these cabinets!I noticed recently that I never got around to making a post on how I painted almost every cabinet in our home. The following post will now get me back into good standing with all who've ever asked me how I painted our cabinets and of course I told them that the post was coming soon, but it never did, eeeek! Sorry guys, here it is now!

How to Paint Oak Cabinets Without Sanding or Priming. Lollypaper.com

Unless you live in a house that is almost brand spanking new, chances are you have “honey oak” cabinets somewhere in your home. I’m going to out on a limb here and say that if you do, you probably strongly dislike them. Now, if you love your oak cabinets, there is certainly nothing wrong with that…but this post probably isn’t for you. If I were you, I would go click on the arrow down below and read my last post that has a really cute Halloween project I made and pictures of my two puppies. I love them. You will too. If you are still reading, great! I have a solution for you that won’t cost you an arm and a leg, nor will it take you days to complete (well depending on how many cabinets you have). Even if you have done some remodeling, and have replace some of the oak, chances are you still have some oak cabinets lurking around somewhere. It could be hiding in the laundry room or in a dark hallway. I’m guess those cabinets might look something like this. Eek! I’ve posted several chalk paint projects, big and small, but so far, this is my favorite. Why? Because it solves one of life’s biggest mysteries; how to fix those ugly oak cabinets, without spending a wad of money to replace them. The answer is Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, of course. The next thing you are going to ask me is if it really covers the oak grain, and I’m here to tell you that YES! It does! Do you see any oak grain? Nope, didn’t think so. Here’s the best part, I did these laundry room cabinets in less than 6 hours! True story! See the rest of the post and waxing tips at www.lollypaper.com

Laundry Room Gets a Makeover!

Laundry today…or…Naked Tomorrow! It’s finally finished…let the unveiling begin! As promised, one laundry room complete with built-in cabinets! I shared my story last week of how I was folding towels when our shelving above the washer and dryer came flying down and landed on my chest, shoving me into the wall. I thought lemons, why not lemonade ;-) I reached up and kindly helped the rest of the wire shelving release from the wall showing the shelving its new home in the garage floor, then I got to work designing a new space complete with laundry room cabinets and tons of great storage. Let’s face it, the laundry room was not high on our list of projects, but now that I had been attacked, the laundry room’s ranking moved to #1 on my list. We started planning by asking how much time we spent in the room, defined our work zones to include places for both dirty and clean clothing and designed the new flow. We made sure to include plenty of space for functional laundry room cabinets. After all, if it’s efficient, it will stay clean – right? ;-) Breaking it down we started by assessing our laundry room habits, designing the room to reflect our lifestyle and simplify our laundry routine. Completing this task showed we lacked sufficient space for sorting, folding and organizing our laundry. Our work space planning defined four zones, a place for dirty clothes, a clean area that includes plenty of hanging and folding space, storage for cleaning products, and finally the washer and dryer. Open laundry room cabinets for basket storage gave us space for the dirty clothing. We designed this space to the left of the washer. Building in this area allowed us to have three baskets for soiled clothing for a whole week. I can actually treat clothing and store until the wash cycle starts – A big plus when you only have a couple of pieces for special laundry requirements. We then designed the clean space area. Directly over the open laundry room cabinets that hold the baskets we created a tiled counter for folding clothes. This space allows us to fold directly from the dryer, no more carry to the bed and never fold them routine for this house (come on – we all do it ;-) ) We also added two hanging bar areas – one over the top of the washer/dryer unit to hold empty hangers, and the other to the right of the dryer to hold freshly laundered clothing that I hang right out of the dryer – NO MORE Wrinkles – Well on the laundry that is! We installed wainscoting on the walls at a rather tall height and installed oil rubbed hanging hooks to use for hanging special pieces that are not dryer friendly. On the back of the door we included over the door hangers for an ironing board and iron. Above the washer and dryer we created laundry room cabinets that formed cubby storage. This created a great place for extra baskets to hold out of the way items (and my painting/garage clothing), and solvents used in our home. We even added an extra shoe cubicle for those days when no one can reach the closet door in front of them! After all a home needs extra storage, even if it is for shoes! Because our villa is smaller living we wanted our laundry room cabinets to take advantage of every square inch or workable space. Using various shelving, storage, and laundry baskets we maxed our storage needs. Hubby is even in the process of installing a last feature where our IPhone's, IPad, and Kindle will live and re-charge themselves daily. So, if that wire shelf would have never fallen, we would have never have thought about redesigning our laundry room, after all it’s not like it’s a kitchen, but this new design has made our laundry chore bearable! Please leave us some comments and let us know what you think about the new design. If you have an idea you would like to share we would love to converse. Happy Weekend and remember, laundry today…or…naked tomorrow!
