Laundry Room REVEAL

WOOOOHOOOO!!!!!


Can you tell I am super excited to reveal the transformed laundry room? heehee!


Well it was sure a challenge to figure out how to make a big impact in a small space, but I do believe that I'm in love with the result: color, function, whimsy, and bright. Seriously, it was like a cave in that little windowless room. But with just a few tweaks and some great DIY projects later, we have a space that is relaxing to be in. Now if only the laundry would wash itself... :) 


Ok, ready? here we go!

What a change!
 


 
My most treasured piece:
 

A thank you note from my hubby from 7 years ago. I was a new bride learning the ropes of housekeeping. He wrote me this note after a particularly long day of cleaning and washing clothes late into the night. I woke up the next morning, exhausted and found this note on the laundry machine. It has hung inside the cabinet door ever since, a reminder of why I do the things I do in this home: to make an inviting nest for the ones I love. 



 


It's all in the details!




It's the little things that make all the difference.






Hope you enjoyed the tour!


There will be a few more posts later on with short tutorials showing how to make some of these projects. In the meantime, if you would like to catch up on the past projects for the laundry room just click on the titles below:



All photos taken by yours truly.

Will be linking up to parties with these great blogs:
