Now imagine the floor with super crazy clutter full of shoes and dirty towels |
So I ended up getting these white ones for about $12.
But, of course, I didn't just want to hang these and be done. I wanted it to be cute also. Plus, this room is super dark, so I decided to brighten it up a little bit with some paint. I chose Crisp Linen White from Glidden.
First was to mark where I wanted to hang the laundry bags. I decided to paint just below this. So I took my laser level, stuck it in the wall to mark where I wanted the paint line to go.Then I placed the painters tape right below the line.
Also taped all around the wall, then started painting.
I finished this off by securing a stained cedar plank to the wall, into the studs.
To hang the laundry bags, I bought some cute knobs from Hobby Lobby and screwed them into the board.
It is soooo nice to be able to open these doors all the way now :) So nice. And not having to worry about tripping over stuff is a plus too lol.
And since I have no place for my ironing board, I hung it behind this door also on the knobs. It was there previously already, but as you can see in the above before picture, it was hanging on by one hook since the other fell off and it had been like for years. So, this is a little upgrade.
The other side of the room had also been completely neglected. It used to be super cute, but that didn't last long what with all the clutter n all . So, I added some more boxes in there to get the clutter a little bit under control.
Yes, these two sides do match colorwise but that will be something to do down the road :) Easy as switching some pictures out. Right now, I'm just happy that this laundry room is clean lol. It's a first in quite awhile...like as in 6 months...at least. Let's just say, I desperately need a mudroom and larger laundry room...then I'll be set :) But for now, I know the hubs appreciates the clean floor.
