Laundry Room Reveal – Joy in Our Home
Happy Monday Everyone! It’s the beginning of a new week and the perfect time to share something exciting!
Our Laundry Room is 98% done but I want to share it with you anyway! This post will be mostly pictures… so I’ll let the pictures do most of the “talking”.
Every reveal or makeover needs some after pictures, right? Just to see how far you’ve come and realize all that hard work totally paid off. Here is our frightful seriously neglected “before” picture of our laundry room. What a scary sight!
I am absolutely thrilled with the lockers… a pure labour of love from my amazing husband! Just so ya’ll know, when we bought our home, my husband had next to no carpentery skills. He’d like to tell you he still doesn’t, but that’s not true! We’ve he’s totally remodeled our basement and did a partial kitchen makeover. And now this! I could keep raving, but just walking into our laundry room now makes me appreciate him so, so much more!
The drawers at the bottom are very deep and spacious and can hold many shoes. They are on rollers and are perfect for our little ones to store their shoes in. We have a pretty good routine going already…. after school, jackets and backpacks immediately get hung! This mama loves it!
Another feature I love are these baskets! They hold everything from light bulbs, to mop head replacements to summer items. It’ll be so handy to have sunscreen, mosquito spray, water balloons, sun glasses and cases, and so much more all in one handy spot!
The middle cupboard is actually one of the original brown cupboards. My husband removed them both (as you can see in the before pictures) and then rehung one in the middle. We repainted the doors white and he built the shelves on either side. I love how they turned out!

The laundry printable can be found on my friend Aniko’s blog Place of My Taste. So fun to have some space to display some pretty things in the laundry room now!
Something else I really like (the not so pretty side) is this behind the door broom/Swiffer organizer! They used to just stand anywhere and everywhere but this hanger is perfect now to keep them off the floor and out of sight!
And one last picture, before I let you go! I’m so happy how it all turned out! Now, all that’s left is the flooring (it’ll get changed this winter along with the rest of our main floor) and the baseboards! But that’s pretty minor considering all that we’ve accomplished in this room!
I’m so happy you stopped by today! I hope you have a very wonderful day and don’t forget to check out my Pretty Pearl Ornament that I did as party of a Handmade Ornament Blog Hop! There’s lots of inspiration and some very creative ornaments that I know you’ll enjoy!
