Laundry Room Update

My before pictures were wiped out when I upgraded my phone, but we had a gloomy laundry room with brownish pink colored paint, baskets of flowers wallpaper boarder, old sheet linoleum floors, and mismatched cabinets. Now I have a bright room that I absolutely love. I'm still working on the right accessories, but in 3 weeks of work, we created a great new updated laundry room.
Bright updated laundry room that took us about 3 weeks, some upcycling and creativity, not a lot of money, and all DIY. We are so pleased with the result.
These used to be flat plank cabinets. I put beadboard wallpaper, trim and caulk to make them match upper cabinets. A couple coats of poly and new knobs, and they look new.
This was a shelf tower (that you buy and build for about $50) that we turned on its side to make our upper shelves. We permanently fascented the movable shelves and customized.
I wallpapered the upper parts of the shelf to hide the holes, We trimmed with crown and a bit of wood to give it a more built in look.
Vintage curtains from my Mom turned on the side and clipped up. The cabinet had been in our kitchen for years. I just painted it. The ironingboard cabinet on the left was given wallpaper and paint to match too,
Plank vinyl flooring on the diagonal. A little more of a challenge than straight across, but I think the long narrow room needed it.
Shelf to keep stuff from falling behind and give me a place to accesorize.

    You did a fabulous job. I have plain plank cabinet doors that I must redo. Yours look great and you have inspired me to try my hand at it.
