New Laundry Closet!

July 10, 2008 · by: Cathie Filian

click pic to enlarge

It is funny, when I first started to design the colors (etc) for the new house – my head was swimming with ideas for the master bath, living room and the perfect white for the kitchen cabinets. The laundry room was last on my list. Well not anymore – since the new washer and dryer are being delivered on the 18th and the closet looks a fright – we needed to act fast!

We picked up the paint a few days ago from Home Depot – The paint is by Behr and the color is butternut squash. I love the warm yellow color and since this is a closet and not a room, I think it will be bright & cheery.

I am recycling some closet maid shelving that was left behind by the previous owners in the guest bedroom closet. I hang dry almost all of my clothes and now I will have a small space dedicated to the damp clothes.

The budget has been pretty good for this little room. $1256.00 Total!

New washer and dryers from Sears – $1200.00 (on sale)
Paint and primer from Home Depot – $50.00 ($5 rebate by mail)
Paint supplies – $0 (we own)
Shelving – $0 (recycled from old closet)
Shelving tips from Home Depot – $6.00
Drip dry hangers – $0 (we own)
Wet clothes bin – $0 (recycled from craft room)
