Laundry Room Makeover
It all started with our remaining shiplap from the kids bathroom reno. My husband made the mistake of asking me what I'd like to do with it! I had seen lemon decals a couple of months prior and was eyeing them ever since. The colour yellow makes me happy and citrus is such a happy scent so naturally I wanted them in our laundry room! I wanted the space to feel bright, airy, and happy ... especially with all of the added laundry I was about to take on with baby number three!!! Before
A few things that were bothering me with the space were the hooks and bags on the wall (they impeded with the garage entry door opening all the way), the shelf above the machines being so high (the kids were constantly throwing socks and underwear back there), and the colour of the walls (this one is pretty evident lol). We moved the hooks into the garage and created a little getting dressed station which is much more functional for us now.
I wasn't able to help much with this project other than tell my husband where I wanted everything to go. He might argue that this is how things naturally occur anyways! I did however put up the wall decals (post baby lol). We had our electrician move the outlet for us which allowed me to bring a shelf lower to the machines. We did run into some issues with the shelving. We didn't have the right tool to drill straight holes into the wood in order to be able to fit into the dowels. My good friend Michelle from Kreative Kitchenz and her brother Chris came to our rescue. We were so grateful for their help! I am obsessed with the new view and the vibes that it gives off ...
Get The Look:
Shiplap (purchased at Home Hardware)

I couldn't be happier with the way the update turned out!
