#Hobby lobby laundry signs update#

Your email address will not be published. 🙂 You don’t need a large space to have a pretty and functional laundry room! The space might be small, but I think it makes a big impact in the space! I love how clean and organized it looks…at least until laundry is thrown on top. I love how it looks, and how easily it folds back up. I also LOVE this wall drying rack I found at Hobby Lobby! I saw it weeks before I finally purchased it and couldn’t stop thinking about it for the space. I like the vintage element it adds to the space. It’s functional, and pretty!įor decor, I hung my vintage wash board which is actually a family hand me down. I wanted our wool dryer balls and laundry pods to be easily accessible and within reach, so I grabbed two large glass jars to display them on the tabletop. I also wanted to mix textures, so I grabbed THESE galvanized bins (also under $8!) for some ironing and sewing supplies. I love how they look next to the laundry sign from Hunt and Gather Goods. I chose THESE baskets for the top shelf (less than $8 each!!!!), which house cleaning rags, extra detergent, and other supplies. I like things looking as clean as possible, so I knew I needed a variety of storage options for the space. I didn’t want to get too crazy, and since there were already shelves in the area I decided to just leave them as is and add some simple decor. And it’s not like the top can go anywhere, so it works! I stained the boards Minwax Special Walnut and sealed it with polycrylic. We didn’t screw them down because I figured if for some reason we ever needed to get behind the washer and dryer, it’s as simple as lifting up the top. He attached 1x2s to the side walls and rested the tabletop on top of them. It was SUPER simple to make, and just a matter of securing 3 1x10s together with 1x2s. We’ve lost many socks behind the washer and dryer, so I like that this contains everything in one place and provides a little more functionality to the space. I had my husband build a simple tabletop for over the washer and dryer to be used as the folding area. Landon also likes to push the buttons (with instruction, of course). We had never owned a laundry system like this, so it’s been a real treat! I love the different settings on each machine, which is optimal for the type of clothing we’re currently washing. We chose this GE Energy Star Frontload Washer and GE Capacity Frontload Dryer because they fit our size and laundry requirements. We went with front loaders because I really wanted to create a folding area on top (really, just a place to throw laundry I haven’t folded yet). Our friends over at GE Appliances were kind enough to send us a beautiful new washer and dryer for the new space. I’m happy we did it because it looks *SO* much better.

The carpet and wood had to be ripped out of the laundry area, and since it’s connect to the bathroom which had awful tile, we figured tiling the entire space would just be easier.

The next update we made was re-tiling the entire space. It was yellow (a hideous yellow), so I gave it fresh look with my favorite Benjamin Moore White Dove. So when our old washer crapped out and flooded the floor underneath (it was CARPET and WOOD…who puts that under a washing machine?!), we decided it was time for a little makeover.įirst, we painted the entire area. The laundry area in this home is connected to our downstairs bathroom, and could actually be made functional and cute (priorities on the cute). In fact, I always pushed laundry on my husband because I hated going down in that basement. Our laundry was in the basement of our condo and I absolutely hated walking up and down two flights of stairs to get to it.

When I first saw that the washer and dryer were on the main level of this house, I knew my laundry days were about to take a turn for the good. Thank you to our friends at GE Appliances for sponsoring today’s post!
