Our new laundry room

I have wanted to add a little pep to our laundry room for quite some time now. I think this goes back to my fear of commitment...I can take on small rooms and small projects...it's the big projects that I always feel so aprehensive about tackling. I feel that I can make bolder, more interesting choices in small spaces. A few months ago, I got it in my head that I wanted to have Navy cabinets somewhere...well, no place like the laundry room!

Here are some before shots:
Plain....boring....messy....




I found inspiration for the color pallet with a new rug that I bought (Home Goods--$29.99) for our entryway...turns out the rug was too thick of a pile and our front door kept getting stuck on it. 



I decided to go with the open shelving...we've only had it for a few days but seeing as the baskets are labeled, I'm hoping they will be easy enough to kepp lokking decent...we'll see.

In some pictures the walls look brown, but it's a dark Taupe...










I made a little area in the laundry room to hang pictures, invitations, and whatnot...helps to keep the fridge a little less cluttered :) All it is is a pair or U-nails and some twine....

I added the board and batten all the way around the laundry room...I'm obsessed.

Totally making these one day!

We are big Zac Brown fans in our house!



 I like it a lot better now...still don't like laundry though...
