I have been working on our laundry room for a couple of weeks. I wish I had taken some before pictures, but my DH started his demolition and installment before I had the chance!
The problem:
The room is literally 7.5' X 6'.
Let me give you a little background. Our house has a very open floor plan. The tiny laundry room is between our kitchen and dining room. It does have a door, but I need to access it often....because.....we don't have a pantry. Yep. You read correctly. I have neighbors who have two pantries, yet we do not have one. :(
The solution:
My sweet DH took out the ceiling to floor wire shelves and installed a tall stock cabinet he bought at The Home Depot. This is what I am using as a pantry. I left the rest of the wire shelves because they work. I would love to have pretty wooden shelves with even prettier corbels, but it is almost impossible for me to replace anything if it is in great shape and is functional.
The laundry sorting center came from Lowe's, and the padded hangers are a birthday gift. I like the shelf on top for storing the laundry basket.
I added some baskets I've had for a long time. They were scattered throughout the house, and I think I bought them at Pier1. The little chalkboards are from Ballard Designs.
The valance is from Target, but I bought it several years ago.
I recycled a picture frame for the stain removal chart I downloaded from Martha Stewart.
The light fixture is from MacKenzie-Childs, as are the knobs on the cabinet. The burlap cord cover is from The Old Painted Cottage.
I painted the vintage clothes pins.
The tray is from Pier1, the linen water is from The Fresh Market, and the candle is from Anthropologie.
My favorite thing about the laundry room is the window. It is a tight fit in there, and I don't know if I could stand not having it! I spend lots of time in the laundry room with two daughters who ride horses.
A favorite sachet....a gift from a friend.
I was inspired by Mallory's gorgeous laundry room. Click on this link to see it.
Do you enjoy laundry? It is my favorite chore, and I adore ironing linens. Do you like your laundry room? I love mine (finally)!
