laundry room completed

Finally I can show some pics of the completed laundry room...

 

Come in! 

 

This is after you enter the room to the right. I try to use the dryer as little as possible and use this space to dry the childrens pullovers and t-shirts (on hampers). And in the cabinet I have wire-baskets assinged for each family-member, where i put the folded clothes.

On this wall I installed a drying rack from IKEA (it can be folded down). Beneth the window I have dryer and washing machine.

On this wall I added some shelves, the metal bins hold singel socks and some diapers and wipes for the baby, because the washing machine counter dobbles as changing table for downstairs.  The wooden box holds some tools. Medicine cabinet hangs quite high, out of reach for the children.

Some details:

I am quite happy with my improved laundry room...

laundry room step 2

I removed all the old wallpaper and painted the crown molding - and I got some new wallpaper and the room is in progress... I'll get that finished either tonight or tomorrow.
Because step 2 was boring just one picture... a glimpse of my new laundryroom!

I'm really happy with my new laundry-system, btw!

laundry room step 1

In this closet I kept the boys clothes before, but moved them up to their rooms...

Now I got these handy wire baskets and asigned one for each family member. I put the clean and folded laundry in there and the older children are supposed to carry them upstairs and set the clothes inplace themselves... lets see how that works...

I covered the shelves with some white oilcloth, painted the inside of the closet and the cardboxes in a lavender nuicance (I just mixed some light pink and a little blue-grey paint rests I still had. The wallpaper I bought months ago to do an accent-wall in the hallway, but my dear husband thought it to be too bedroomish, so it gets used here :) isn't lavender a perfect color in laundry rooms?

                                      

The curtains are old ones I had, I just added a ruffle to get the right length. 

Step 1 completed :)

laundry room re-do

I have a real 80s laundryroom, pink and the most ugly wallpaper you can imagine... actually I started to tear it down month ago, but this room just has not been very high on my priority list...

You accsess the laundryroom through the main bathroom, it's not very big, but practical.

The next days/weeks I'll have some before/after posts as my laundryroom recovery progresses.

Well, here are some before pictures...

there is potensial...
