I have to admit that the photos for this laundry room aren’t the best. They were taken with my iPhone since my camera is packed away for the big move. Luckily I snapped a couple quick pics before we starting tearing everything off the walls and throwing it into boxes!

A couple weeks ago I showed you guys the color selection: Luxury Beige, a sweet and understated purple tone from the Clark+Kensington line at Ace Hardware. So here’s is the before with just the paint…

laundry room makeoverThis really was an inexpensive makeover that I threw together over a weekend. The biggest addition to the space was the cabinets & countertop. They are just white stock cabinets and a stock countertop that we cut down ourselves to fit the space.

So instead I just hung a long wire shelf and reused the baskets from our old laundry room.  You might recognize that old sign too! Yep, I reused a lot of ideas & supplies from our old space. Just gave it new life!

After the wallpaper was hung, I added a large piece of trim as a chair rail and screwed some hooks (check for studs first so the hooks are secure with long screws and can hold heavy things like bookbags and winter coats!).

As I said, super simple design but I love it.

Functional. Affordable. Fun.

    The room looks great. The wall paper looks so realistic! I will be using your chair rail and hook idea and the pictures as well. Thank you Erin!

    Oh, I totally thought those bricks were real 🙂 What did you use the hooks for? Kids’ coats? They seem too short to me for hanging coats. I hadn’t thought about putting hooks in our new laundry room and am not sure what I’d end up using them for.

      We hang jackets and bookbags on the hooks. Kids coats fit just fine without hitting the floor. You can’t hang long adult coats though.

    I love this makeover. I love how you also consider what is worth spending money on and what isn’t. I have wire shelves as well and actually prefer the open space for getting my laundry sorted off the floor.

    I am definitely following you now on Bloglovin’. Love your ideas. 🙂

    This was my recent (and simple) laundry room makeover: http://www.jannybean.ca/2015/04/our-house-the-laundry-roommud-room/
