Laundry Room

When we moved into our house our laundry room was very standard and not very efficient. 

It just had one bar running across the top and a shelf above that, which was entirely too high to reach. I also had to buy this little shelving unit because I had no where to put the laundry detergent/iron/cleaner/etc.  

So it was a bit cramped in the laundry room. 

There are of course a million ideas on Pinterest and a few caught my eye...

I LOVED the idea of using a ladder! So my original idea was to put in a cabinet to store stuff and put up a ladder to hang the clothes on! As time passed and the project was not moving along very quickly, I decided to make it easy on Trevor and do something a little more simple. So we decided to just add a cabinet and keep the bar and high shelf!

Taking down the shelf/bar. 

And here it is! Nothing too special, but I love the colors I chose and the efficiency. Now I don't have to have that shelving unit in there, so there is a lot more space! PS: please excuse our OLD washer and dryer that is decorated with lovely duck tape! We are looking into getting new ones in the near future! In the Pinterest pictures I really like the little shelf right above the washer/dryer. However, before I add that I want to get our new washer/dryer so we know the correct height.   

All in all, this little house project didn't take much time at all! We bought the cabinet at Lowes and I painted it, which took about 20 min. The tearing down and reassembling took only about 30 min. Just a fun little project that we got to do together.
