The Laundry Room - Day #3: The Countertop/shelves

Yes, I know i've been slow in updating this thing... but the room is done! I'm on the hunt for an inexpensive stool and once I find that I'll post pictures of the final product. 

The Laundry Room - Day #2: The Cabinets/Shelves

Now that the walls were bright and cheery, it was time to add some storage. I originally added this Closetmaid pantry, but it seemed obtrusive in this small room (see below).

The Laundry Room - Day #1: The walls

Blah walls. What to do, what to do. I tend to gravitate towards neutral green, brown and blue paint chips, so I thought I'd try something different and go with a cheery yellow. Nothing too crazy, just enough to brighten up the windowless laundry room.

The Laundry Room -Loads of Fun (kick off)

Our plain old lil' laundry room was looking a little...blah. I dreamed of sprucing it up with a front load washer/dryer but we're low budget at the moment so it's on to Plan B!

White textured Vase

I love the look of these white textured Ikea Farm vases, but was so disappointed when I found out they were discontinued. I looked for a another inexpensive option and ended up deciding to work with what I have to create something similar.

Townhouse Master Bedroom Closet Remodel

It's finally finished and we're absolutely in love with our new master bedroom closets! We decided to remodel the closets after getting fed up with the wire shelving and although we were on a budget, we wanted this done as soon as possible so we didn't have the time to bargain hunt like we normally do.

Closet Pics, Coming soon!

The closet has been finished for over a week now and we love it so much that we decided to redo the reach in closet in our master bedroom as well. Both are now finished and we've taken this opportunity to filter through our clothes and get rid of stuff we don't use. I'll post picture of both this weekend so stay tuned! :)

Walk in Closet - Day #6

We got the top shelving up today and it was a pain because the walls of the closet aren't totally square. We put some quarter round moulding under the shelves and caulked. I'm exhausted and ready to end this project already! Tomorrow will HOPEFULLY be the last day. I can't wait to get my clothes back in the closet!

Walk in Closet - Day #5

We got a lot done today considering we were both sick this weekend. We assembled and installed the drawers in the center unit, we installed the side shelving units and the top shelf on the back wall. We're hoping to finish this project by Wednesday - fingers crossed!!

More tomorrow...

Walk in Closet - Day #4

So we've finally made a decision! We're sticking with the original layout, but using the smaller 12" shelves. We bought the new shelves and assembled them and they are ready to be installed.

I decided to go to Target to check out some basket options and was delighted to find some great clearance deals on baskets and other items in the home section. Go to your local Target and check it out!

Walk in Closet - Day #3

I'm sick today! I've been fighting this bug all day and am finally feeling better but I'm taking the day off to rest. We figured we should install the 24"shelving unit since we're sure we want that unit installed on the back wall. My husband cut the baseboards so the cabinet is flush against the wall and is currently securing the shelving unit to the wall. I am (of course!) giving out instructions while stuck in bed :). Stay tuned!

Walk in Closet - Day #2

What a confusing day! We painted the closet and started assembling the closet shelves. I'm starting to reevaluate our original design because it might make the closet seem too crowded. We're putting 3 shelving units (the side shelf units are 17" wide and the middle shelving unit is 25").

March is "Clean Your Closet" Month

Spring is almost here! I was grabbing something off the top shelf of my small walk-in closet when it hit me (literally... a bunch of items fell on my head): This month is the month to get my closets organized!
