Our Tiny Laundry Room Gets a Makeover

Low-budget. High Style.

After TWO bathroom projects back to back, I’m taking on a tiny but critical part of our house: the laundry. It’s not really a room — more a wide spot in the hallway, but it’s the workhorse of the house, and it deserves some love. So that’s what we will be giving it for this One Room Challenge!

What’s the One Room Challenge? In 2011 Linda Weinstein of calling it home set out with the goal of finishing ONE ROOM in her home. She gathered a group of friends with the same goal, and thus the One Room Challenge was born. The One Room Challenge happens twice per year — Spring and Fall — and participants usually have six to eight weeks to transform one room.

During this round, the One Room Challenge runs for eight weeks. Each Wednesday I’ll be posting the latest update on our laundry room including plans for projects you can try at home and my favorite shopping sources. In the end, I will post a budget, too, so you will know exactly what we spent and how we used our resources. Since we love DIY, there are a bunch of projects to show you along the way!

Our project: Laundry Room

Clean, Crisp, & Cheap

Our laundry room works hard. And I have lots of materials left over from the two bathroom projects we have done recently. So I’ll be using as many of those materials to turn this laundry room into a pleasant and functional place to work.

Additionally, I’m working to make this an eco-friendly laundry room, too. So I will be thrifting, reusing, repurposing, and refocusing.
