Work Hard

We all need a work-from-home space that not only encourages productivity but also ignites creativity, balances energy and calmness, and combines focus and forward-thinking. All it takes is a designated area, some organization and of course, a pop of style!

Laundry Room Makeover

This space does some of the hardest work in the house. With two little girls that like to change their clothes multiple times a day, I do a lot of laundry. Our laundry room is the smallest space so I have to get creative to use it efficiently. This budget friendly makeover made our laundry not only more beautiful but more usable.

Taped off the baseboard, trim, and ceiling with FrogTape®.
Painted the room Sherwin Williams Star Dew. (When my husband and I paint together, I always cut in the a 2 inch angled brush while he rolls the room with a long handled roller brush.)
Brought the washer and dryer back into the space.
Removed the doors from the existing cabinet. Added removable wallpaper to the back of the cabinet.
Built and installed two shelves for the space.
Installed a drying rack.
