I love little updates that make a big difference! I have been wanting to do something with our laundry room for a while. What I would really like to do is put some cabinets in for all of my cleaning products, extra toilet paper, and my large nail polish collection whatever else I may decide to store. I envision something like this drawing.



 Yes, I did use graph paper to ensure I made straight lines...don't judge!

 Anyway, this weekend we started working on it! It will be a while before the rest gets done, but I will embrace the baby steps! I just stained a board that I picked up at RP Lumber, and Dane used brackets to fasten it to the wall. It was probably the easiest update ever! I don't know why we didn't do it sooner. The whole project cost about $25! Check out the before and after below!





I am LOVING the they way it looks! What do you think?

I wouldn't normally put a lot of effort into decorating the laundry room, but our laundry room is also our only bathroom. That means all of our guests see it...it has to look nice! I attempted a DIY project earlier this week, but I wasn't a huge fan of it. I wanted something rustic, but this laundry sign didn't really bring the feel that I wanted (basically... every time I looked at it I wanted to take it down). 

Then I came across this post on Life as a Thrifter. I loved the idea of decorating the laundry room with hangers...I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier! I found these hangers at Wal-Mart for around $3 for the pair. I still was going for a rustic look. So...I broke out the white paint! I just did one thin coat to accomplish the look that I wanted. 

Once the paint dried I selected some pictures to place in the hanger. Eventually, I will probably print some 8x10 images for the hangers, but I think these look good for now! 

I attached them to the wall with 3M Command velcro strips. I love them and use them all the time! 

I put the hangers up with the DIY laundry sign to see if I would like it, but I still didn't care for the sign. 

So... down it came! I still have a few things that I want to do to the laundry room, but I love the new decor!
