I am so thrilled to be sharing with you my sister’s laundry room makeover!

She is super happy with how it turned out, and I love how clean and crisp it looks.

Let’s take a look back at this space, shall we?

Four months ago, her laundry room looked like this…

Here were some of the plans we had for this room…

So…

1.  We took down the shelves.

2.  Painted the walls.

3.  Installed white cabinets I found at the Habitat store.

4.  And Decorated!

And here is Cyndi’s laundry room now!

For the cabinets, I found two white cabinets at the Habitat store for $30 a piece.

My Dad and Wayne hung them up against each side of the walls.

Cyndi took off the brass knobs and added some nickel ones.

Then I stayed all night at Cyndi’s house one Friday and built two shelves between the cabinets for baskets.

Cyndi’s major request for this makeover was to have a place to hang her clothes to dry.

So I attached a silver towel bar to the bottom of the cabinets for her to hang her clothes on.

We moved the washer and dryer apart to leave space to hang clothes in the middle.  The washer and dryer also looked better lined up underneath each cabinet.

I hate that the hot and cold water lines are so visible, but I just couldn’t quite come up with a plan to cover them.  I’ll keep thinking about that. Smile

 

The accessories above the cabinets are from Home Goods {minus the basket and greenery on the right.}

Cyndi and I just fell in love with that bird print when we saw it, and it was reasonably priced.  It adds a touch of whimsy to the room and really fills that empty space in the room well.

We went ahead and updated the bathroom that is connected to the laundry room.  Unfortunately, I do not have any “before” pictures of that space, but here are a few “after’s”…

As you can see, you enter the bathroom before you get to the laundry room.

The bathroom was painted yellow, but we painted it the same color of the laundry room.  (Well, our dad did.)  SmileIt’s called “Urban Putty” by Sherwin Williams.

We bought some cute prints at Home Goods for above the toilet.

We pulled in the greens and blues from the laundry room rug.

Cyndi also bought this cabinet at Home Goods for her bathroom.  She stores cleaners and toilet paper in this cabinet.  Plus, the lamp on top of the cabinet makes the bathroom feel extra comfy and home-y.

Now, instead of leaving the doors closed on the bathroom and the laundry room, Cyndi leaves them wide open!

She loves looking into the laundry room now from her kitchen.

The chandelier we bought at Home Depot definitely dresses up the space!  And it gives the room a beautiful glow.

And that rug!  Oh, I am so in love with that rug!  It provides the perfect punch of color on the floor.  It truly “makes” the space.

We got the rug at Home Goods as well.  {Yes, we love us some Home Goods!}

I know I am forgetting some of the details, so if you have a question, just ask!  Smile

What is your favorite part of this makeover? 

I would love to hear it!
