Laundry Room Makeover: The Before…

Sometimes you need to see how messy a space has become in order to really
be able to appreciate how much you love your before and after.

I have pondered this just-before-you-leave-the-house-and-walk-thru-the
garage-drop-zone so many times…
I usually just shut the light off, close the door and go make something pretty.
MORE AFTER THE JUMP…
 But now this is the next project on the list, and while I have a few loose
ends on the front porch, I am excited to begin working on my laundry
room makeover as soon as possible.

So, I am going to be sharing with you over the next few weeks some
easy DIY projects for my new laundry space, as well as the progress.
And I hope I can get it done quickly, because the reveal is the best part!

Here is what I have come up with so far for colors, fabrics, bins,
and inspiration, what do you think?

 
A little pretty, a little rustic, throw in some clean, modern industrial.
And I cannot wait to roll up my sleeves and start!
Do you have a space that you are working on right now, or need
a little inspiration to get going? I found a ton of ideas on one of my
favorite online addictions tools:
 https://olioboard.com/
It is fun, and I am hooked on creating idea boards for different areas in
my home.  It’s like going shopping and creating a dream room, then figuring
out how I can pull it all together.

    Okay I totally love that laundry room inspiration… the yellow chevron with the grey damask and the clothespin planters and the wire baskets… love! I just got a wire basket from target yesterday on major clearance (6$ down from $25!! yay!!) and put it in my laundry room too… they are so cute! Can't wait to see your projects come together.

    Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to know a lot about this,
    such as you wrote the guide in it or something.
    I believe that you could do with a few p.c. to
    power the message house a little bit, however instead of that,
    that is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.
