Our laundry room is out of control. It’s our catch-all spot in the house. After living in our house for almost eight years, we have painted almost every square inch inside of this place. But, the laundry room has lived on the back burner. I painted the cubbies a few years back, but I was ready for something a little more calm. 

This is what the laundry room looked like the day before we made her over. 

We got rid of all of the junk and excess items that were living in this room for no good reason. We donated a ton of items to the local charity store. It felt good to get rid of all of the kids’ shoes that no longer fit! I swear they grow like weeds. I may have thrown away 20 hats that we don’t wear too. Shhhh don’t tell the kids. They will never even notice they are gone. 

We painted the walls Behr Pure white, installed some shiplap boards to the cubbies, had a cabinet made for the wasted space above the washer and dryer, and we even built a wooden counter top for above the appliances. 

I am in awe at how much bigger the room feels now. 

The BHG laundry sorter is definitely going to help keep things organized. Since my four kids wear clothes every day {unfortunately}, laundry is my constant companion. Luckily I love to listen to books on audible, so it helps keep me occupied while I fold the laundry. I love that there are several versions available in Walmart stores. The four bag laundry sorter that I bought was only $28.88. But they also have three bag sorters and bigger two bag sorters too!

We added a cute galvanized metal BHG clock to this room too because my kids shoes and socks live in the laundry room. This way they can see if they are going to miss the bus in the morning. I made my own sassy wall art for the wall, and I promise I would never ACTUALLY punch my kids in the face. #imagoodmomiswear

We installed some stained shiplap to the back of the cubbies to give the room some character, and I cannot believe the difference that made. 

BHG has some awesome storage containers too! We already had the ones we used in our laundry room, but you can get some stylish baskets at Walmart at GREAT prices. All of these baskets below are less than $15.

I am so excited to finally have a clean and organized laundry room that functions well! I hope the kids will do their part and help keep it clean. #sayseverymomever. 

Just to remind you, here is one more before and after! Just keepin’ it real.
