laundry room makeover....

 the laundry room was the only room in the house that we hadn't really touched since we moved in...

 

I just couldn't handle that awful blue any longer...

I removed a built-in ironing board cupboard that just wasn't working for me....

After...

 we added a drying bar to hang clothes up that don't go in the dryer...

covered the hole in the wall with barn board and a locker...

the cat enjoys eating here much better now...
the whole room is trimmed out with old barn boards...thanks DAD!

painted & distressed the pine hook shelf...
I took the closet doors off and added curtains...
We used galvanized plumbing pipes and fittings for the curtain rods and drying bar...

added a 'trough' for laundry soap...

now we each have a spot for misc, gloves, bags, hats, etc...

I've been looking for a wire laundry hamper for years...

metal cubbies for cleaning supplies, clothespins, tips for the laundry queen...

I made hooks out of old hinges to hang keys...

So there you have it... a long overdue laundry room spruce up.
It was really cheap too- I used paint & accessories I already had ...just had to buy the curtains & pipes.
It is so functional now, and works really well for our family.

Thanks for stopping by...
