Our Laundry Room Makeover {for only $100}

9-30 2011 By admin 64 Comments

If you follow me on Facebook, then you have seen a couple of my sneak peaks that I posted of our Laundry Room.  But, just in case you are only receiving updates via my blog {you really should join me on Facebook}, then this $100 Laundry Room Makeover reveal is going to be your first! Either way, this post is exciting!!!!

Join my community on Facebook HERE

A couple {ok maybe a few} weeks ago, I showed you this BEFORE picture of my Laundry Room.

I told you how this space was really small, dark, and drab and how I planned to make some improvements to lighten it up, create a little more space, and give it some color and style. I posted my inspiration pictures HERE. You can also see more of my inspiration pictures for this space and all of the spaces in my home by visiting me on Pinterest.

Here is an up close of what our cabinets looked like BEFORE

Did you happen to notice the big door in the way?? That was one of the main problems in this space. Both the Hubbs and I couldn’t imagine bringing in a car seat through the garage, through this tiny space and trying not to hit the washer, dryer, and door.  It was too much!

 

After some creative design planning, searching magazines and online for some inspiration, and then putting everything together, this is what we came up with.  Did I mention that this entire makeover only costs us $100? Well, yes, that’s right! Only $100 and we have a COMPLETELY NEW SPACE!

 

 

Have I ever mentioned that my Hubby was in the United States Marine Corps? Well, he was and this was our wedding day/reception. He wore his dress blues and looked oh so handsome J
Here is the ironing board holder we made. You have probably seen these showing up all over blog land after Shelly from {The House of Smith’s} designed one about a year or so ago. We absolutely love ours and thank her for the inspiration! Our ironing board used to sit in another room and we had to drag it out every time we wanted to use it. Now, it is where it should be, looks pretty, and doesn’t take up any floor space.

Ok, let’s take another look at this space BEFORE and AFTER

So, what do you think?

 

We are thrilled with the results and couldn’t be happier that this space looks COMPLETELY different, like another house even, and we did everything for only $100!!!

    Absolutely beautiful! I love the colors you chose and how you removed the middle door to use as a decorating/display area. Nice job!

    I would love for you to stop by and link your laundry room makeover.

    Hi Jennifer,

    I’m hopping on over from Coastal Charm, and I’m so glad I did! Love your laundry room makeover – this is something similar to what my hubby had in mind for our laundry room makeover, so this is great to see what the “finished look”, looks like! :) We just moved into a fixer and have the TINIEST of budgets when it comes to redoing our home to make it functional (and more aesthetic to the eye), so I love how your blog has different projects listed (and low cost too) – I am your newest follower! :) Looking forward to your posts!

    Best,
    Jessie

    HUGE difference! Love your color choice, the grouping and baskets on the shelves, and especially the ironing board rack. I think I may skip on over to her blog and snag the directions for myself. PS, gotta love those dress blues! My hubby is currently active duty and I swear I count the days til the Birthday Ball so I can see him in those babies!

    Sorry if you’ve answered any of these questions already, but did you replace your light fixture? I too have a windowless laundry room, and hate our dingy little light. Looking for a fixture/style that will add more, brighter light! Also, what paint brand/color did you use? It’s lovely!
