Need some laundry room makeover inspiration? Well, Krista at The Happy Housie has loads of it for you! She took her glorified dark boring hallyway of a laundry/mud room, and turned it into a bright and cheery laundry room/mud room that might even make doing laundry tolerable!
Isn’t that one of the most cheerful rooms you’ve ever seen?
They installed horizontal paneling, painted, made DIY chalk-finish paint in turquoise for their cabinetry and back door, and installed a DIY countertop and shelf for extra storage and function. They added two rows of hooks to hang their coats and bags, and upcycled a vintage oar as a key hook holder. Some simple no-sew curtain panels now conceal the washer and dryer and pretty storage containers and DIY art make the room a place that they now want to spend time in, rather than avoid.
And they did all of this for a grand total of $340! Amazing!
Quite remarkable, especially on that budget, and especially considering that it started out like this:
Be sure to head over to The Happy Housie to see all of the great details, as well as the DIY projects, that went into this incredible makeover!
