Remember when I said a laundry room makeover was brewing? Well, I dove in over the weekend! I don't have a lot to reveal just yet, but first here is a little sneak peek at the before. Am I an organized genius or what? (sarcasm noted.)
{ side note: the clothing rack is new, I was just testing it out... }

You see, the problem (excuse?) is... when you buy your first place you gradually accrue more and more. More hand tools, more gardening tools (I have no idea why those are in the laundry room!), just more. And as you do that, your orderly system gets thrown to bits. So, I am making it my mission on this project to have a proper place for everything. And that includes tossing things out into the garage that have no business taking up residence in our laundry room. Hey, the garage will be another project, another post. I'm allowed to toss.
I don't have much to reveal just yet, but here is my first step into painting the cabinets a beautiful bright white! (have I mentioned previously that I LOVE chalk paint? It is seriously a breeze!)
These little guys will be getting a quick spray with some black paint (I know they look black, but sadly they are brown) once I finish painting all of the cabinet doors for a fresh update and a way to tie in the rest of the black hardware in the room.
We'll see what I can come up with for the rest of it, but fingers crossed it brightens and organizes this useful space so that we stop using it as a dumping ground when guests come over! And to think, Chris suggested we could even leave the doors off the cabinets! A girl can dream, but we are never going to be the perfectly put together, organized sort. A little hiding is allowed.
If you are looking for me over the next week, this is likely where I'll be. Oh, and taking after photos of the exterior makeover I promised ages ago. I'll do it tonight. I hope swear.
