Laundry Room Redecorating
We are blessed with a large laundry room that separates our kitchen from the garage. This room functions as my sewing room, the staging area for leaving and entering the house (which means it holds bags, shoes, hats, coats, umbrellas, etc.) and, of course, as the laundry room. It has always been a source of frustration for us in organization, also because it has a ton of shelves that hold our canning supplies, some food storage, tools, papertowels, and so on.
We have spent a lot of time this year organizing and sprucing things up around the house, and this is one of my favorite projects so far. We purchased some storage cabinets for sewing and art/school supplies, along with a cube shelf for bags and shoes. I love it! The top of the dryer is no longer covered with stuff, and our floor is not littered with shoes. Each of the kids have a box to put their shoes, coats, hats, and toys in, and this helps a lot. On to the pictures!
I painted the walls with leftover paint from the master bathroom, and sewed and hung a curtain above the washer and dryer. Our hanging apparatus is not perfect, but it works. There are three openings in the curtain for ease of reaching in to get stuff.


The pink post-it note has diaper-washing instructions for someone (not me) who loves to help but has a hard time remembering how.
The wall opposite of the washer-dryer with our shoes, bags, and new cabinets. There is a covered magnet board above the cubes.

My sewing area on the other wall:

These pictures don’t show the shelving on the taller parts of the walls, but who wants to see canning supplies and bags of flour?
It looks great! You’ve given me some inspiration for our own laundry room.
