Laundry room redo: before and after

Happy Monday!  I am so excited to share a room redo with you.  Getting some of my rooms *complete* is a goal for 2013 and I'm off to a good start. Let's hope I can keep up the mojo.

I have a nice big laundry room that has been an eye sore for 2 years.  I spend a LOT of time in this room and decided it needed to be a more inviting little space.  I cannot get laundry washed and put away fast enough to keep it tidy and desperately needed some shelves and storage.  Mr. C came to the rescue!  He is quite the carpenter when he needs to be and built a lovely set of shelves for me, as well as a hidden shelf under the counter that will hold 5 laundry baskets!

Before: (I know, don't judge, I live with 3 boys.)

After!

I tried to use what I had so the color scheme just sort of evolved.  I already had Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray paint, Alabaster white paint (cabinets and shelves), and the navy blue bins (Target).  I happened to find a rug at TJ Maxx with those colors that helped tie things together.  The only real expense was the wood for the shelves that Mr. C built.

The process:

• Painted the grody yellowish cabinets Alabaster white by Sherwin Williams
• Painted the walls Comfort Gray by Sherwin Williams
• Used my favorite Lowe's drop cloths to make skirts for the tables to hide storage
• New rug from TJ Maxx
• New hardware from Hobby Lobby
• Re-did a faux Roman Shade that was once in my kitchen

Done! So happy with it.  On to the next project!
