Extremely Simple Laundry Room Re-do

Now, in the past few months of my becoming obsessed with the blog world, I have seen some absolutely amazing laundry room transformations.   I'm talking about ladies ripping out shelves and installing new cabinets, building risers for washers and dryers, replacing flooring, and on and on.   You guys really do amaze me.

Having said that, I completed a laundry room makeover of my own a few months ago, so I thought I'd share.  However, my "makeover" was really just an organization project and really isn't all that exciting, so don't get your hopes up!  Mkay?  :)

This is what it looked like on closing day.

The walls, shelves, and trim all received a new coat of paint before we moved in, but that's about all that got done.

Before I started my little project it looked like this... prepare yourself.  LOL

Insert cheap slasher movie sound effects here.

And... after:

Added a little organization via banana leaf baskets on the top shelf.  One holds my little boy's breathing machine and supplies, one holds nothing but lightbulbs (tons of them), and the last one holds our iron and spray starch - because it rarely gets used.

On the more accessible shelf, hidden behind the curtain, I have my heavy duty cleaners that I don't want down low, detergents, stain removers, and a few crafts supplies for the kiddos that I also do not want down low.  ;)

The curtain is hung with a simple pressure rod.  What could be easier?

I brought some iron wall hangings out of storage (that I'm not too fond of anymore) and hung them in here.  I thought it needed a little wall decor, and I didn't want to hang these out in the main house.  LOL. 

Simple makeover, but it just goes to show that even small changes can have a dramatic effect.  :)

TGIF- we survived our first week of kinder here.. Yay for that!
