This laundry closet makeover is a longg time coming! One of my friends bought a house over a year ago and I was so excited and offered to makeover the little laundry closet. I ended up moving back to NY before I could work on it. Oops! So when I went back to Colorado this fall, I stayed at her house and promised I would finally get it done! I dedicated a full 24 hours to working on it and spent a solid 10 minutes in the house alone screaming while trying to put the counter in and it wouldn’t work. 😂 But all in all it was really easy and I think it turned out really great! Just scroll down to the bottom to see all the before and afters and you can see what a difference it made!

HERE’S WHAT WE CHANGED!
- Ripped out all of the previous fixtures.
- Patched and painted the walls. Top half is Behr Ultra Pure White and bottom half is Behr Roman Plaster.
- Added a shelf and pegs.
- She updated her washer and dryer.
- Added a plywood counter. (I’ll be sharing this tutorial soon!)
