Here is her post:
The first two pictures are the before pictures….
And now the after pictures…
I painted the inside of the cabinet panel with chalkboard paint to make a family memo/menu board.
This mirror was something I picked up at Big Lots for $5. It and the chalkboard paint was added after the other pictures were taken.
These are my basket tags. I knew I would need something to tell us what was in the baskets.
This is our spare change jar. Not too full right now!!!
Here is the shelves above the washer/dryer. They were hard to keep organized, and cabinets were not in the budget (we did this at the same time as our kitchen reno) so baskets were the best option!
I have had the lamp for years, and the B is old too. The birdcage was on sale at garden ridge. It holds our dryer sheets!
These were fabric swatches in a pack at WalMart. I loved the color, so I just wrapped canvases with them and presto! ART!
The flowers are fake, and I have had the candle for a while. The frame is a $2.50 WalMart find, and I just framed some more of my fabric swatches.
I can’t decide if I want crown molding on top of the cabinet or not. I like that I can put my basket up there. It won’t fit with molding…thoughts? This pic is pre-mirror and pre-chalkboard, obviously!
I just moved the shelf down from before and made it into a folding table. The washboard cabinet was made by my dad. He gave it to my Nana, and she gave it to me when we bought our home, which is our first house by the way.
Again, pre-chalkboard paint. But this is what you see as you walk into the room. It is a small room, but the pocket door makes it more usable. The floors are a white tile, and I am looking for a small jute rug for in there. 
Hope you enjoyed the tour!!!
Thanks for sharing your room makeovers Rachel. Both are awesome and I’m psyched and inspired to finish mine this fall! Thanks!
If my laundry room looked like that, I might actually want to do laundry. If you know me at all, you know that laundry is my arch nemesis, so any room that could make the battle a littl less painful would be fantastic! This laundry room is great!
I think crown molding would be great on top of the cabinet, but if it causes you to lose function, I would go without it. You don't want to chance messing up that lovely room. 😉

How cute! Olive the birdhouse for dryer sheets! I will have to borrow this idea. Thank you for sharing this wonderful makeover :0)

That mini-washboard is so cute! I also love the idea of having a tray on top of the dryer, and using something other than the box to hold dryer sheets. Very cute!
i love this laundry room! i hope one day to have an After as nice. for now, mine remains dark and scary in the basement 🙂
answer to the question about the pantry – my idea would be to put a really nice framed corkboard or other display method (small shelves) for all those things you don't know where to store.
love it!
