. . .when we moved in, it looked like this . . .
. . .and with a little help from my brother . . .
. . . it became this . . .
. . . and with a little white paint & elbow grease
…and cute aqua polka dotted contact paper
. . . and now it looks like this . . .
While it’s not the glamourous extreme of the laundry rooms in my inspiration post it is far superior to our old laundry room in our condo I used for the 5-1/2 years prior.
I love the white …I love the light. I love that it’s off the kitchen and leads to a small guest bathroom with hilarious fern wallpaper and out to the backyard. I hung two Tiffany blue small canvases that I painted for our old master bedroom {dog bowls below} and pillow cases {also from our old master} for the curtains to hide the ugly power cords and any mess that might accumulate on that handy little shelf. I found the white tension-rod at Bed Bath & Beyond by Umbra for $14.99 as well as the Umbra Rosetta drapery clips for $7.99 {bought 2 packs} which easily clip on to the fabric holding it in place. The tall cupboard hides our water heater, and above it I hung an inexpensive wall mounted coat rack
One thing I would love to add is a top to place over both the washer and dryer that extends to the wall {like in this inspiration photo} …not only to give me a level surface but to protect the tops of my machines and also extend to the wall & give me a few extra inches of counter space. But for now, I love it.
