But I HIGHLY recommend you have a second set of hands and muscle before you take on this chore least you find yourself flat on your back under the cabinet! Since I have done this a thousand times, I can remove and move cabinets by myself. Most prefab cabinets (prebuilt then attached to the wall) are attached to the wall with a few ually a couple in the top and a few in the underside. Popping them up gave me room underneath for open shelving above the washer and dryer that would be functional. As you can see from the picture, the top of the cabinet did little but gather dust.just not "functional." I knew it would make the top shelves too high for every day items, but okay for things I only use occasionally. I love my cabinets! And I love stained wood! But as small as this space is, I knew painted cabinets would look so much better and really open up the space.īefore I painted the cabinets, I wanted to "pop" them up to the ceiling. Now if you have been around for awhile, you know that pretty much goes against everything in me. One thing I have debated doing for sometime is painting the cabinets. Keep in mind, I still only want what I NEED or will use in each and every room.that includes the laundry room! So while some of the elements of this makeover enhanced the "look and feel" of the room, they must all still serve a function or purpose. If I could design and build my ideal laundry room it would have tons of counter space for "projecting," large operating windows to flood the room with light and fresh air, a "doggy" sink and tons of storage space for stuff that I currently store in my master closet and highboy.office supplies, sewing supplies, scrap book materials, etc.īut since that isn't happening, I decided to make due with what I have and make it function a tad better while improving the look and feel of the space. I seriously envy some of the laundry rooms on Pinterest. The blue is paint leftover from my mom's bedroom remodel and the green is from my daughter's room.the one she "hated." Funny thing is, I really like the "celery" green.unfortunately I had added some white to the original green to lighten it so finding the "right" green again was a chore (as you can see from the pictures below, I went through several mixes before I found one I liked) Well let me tell you.this is a good example of using resources you have on hand. Some of you may ask.why the blue cubby and green walls. Just little things that helped a tad but never really gave me warm fuzzies. Over the years, I have done a few little things here and there to the laundry room.paint, a little basket for dryer sheets, a storage cabinet and new flooring in the cubby, a broom/mop hanger, painted the doors black.
