One Room Challenge Guest
It’s finally here!
The first week of the One Room Challenge. I have been dreaming of a gorgeous and super functional laundry room since we moved in 18 years ago. My dream is finally coming true. I have some of my ideas for the laundry room makeover on my mood board below.

Please join me on this six week makeover as I turn this inefficient eye sore into a gorgeous modern Bohemian laundry room/mudroom combination. There will be lots of easy and budget friendly DIY’s and so much more. Join the Laundry Room Makeover Newsletter here and you will get all the inspiration delivered to your inbox.
I am embarrassed to share the naked truth about the most neglected room in our house. It should have a warning sign on the door – – Enter if you dare!

Laundry room before photo
I did not realize how awful this room had become until I saw the photos on my computer screen and I can see it is worst than I realized. Life gets busy raising your family so the laundry room makeover has been pushed to the bottom of the to-do list until now. My priorities have changed since my youngest is 21 years old and I have the time to focus on this forgotten room. The possibilities are endless.
Laundry Room Ideas
This has been the year of room makeovers in our house. The hall bathroom makeover turned out better than I imaged for only $300 thus you read more about the bathroom makeover in an earlier post. Now I am inspired to makeover the laundry too.

You can see the trend in bathroom with white walls, clean lines and geometric accents. I would like the laundry room to have that same vibe.

They acknowledge that life can get busy with raising a family, and as a result, they had not prioritized the laundry room makeover. However, upon seeing the photos and realizing how bad it actually is, they have decided to move it up to the top of their to-do list.magicrugs.com

Actually, I wouldn’t say your current laundry room looks bad; just utilitarian. But I am excited to see this transformation!
