laundry room makeover
You may remember a sneak peek of my farmhouse laundry room refresh I shared a few months ago and it’s finally time to reveal the whole space… that we refreshed for less than $300!
If you’re a longtime follower you’ve seen me spruce up my old 1970’s farmhouse room by room… little by little… on a budget, of course. 😉 Besides our craft room makeover, dining room and porch refreshes, we’ve finally put some attention on my much neglected laundry room!
Most of my exterior is the once popular slump block (dare I say the 70’s version of shiplap? lol) and my laundry room is no different… when you paint our favorite color ever, Sherwin Williams’ Comfort Gray, it kind of turns into art. 😉
Speaking of art, we free-handed the popular Joanna Gaines sign “wash and dry” in chalk on our DIY Vinyl Chalkboard Framed Sign and hung it over the utility sink. Over the sign sits a standard outdoor cage light from Home Depot and our cute industrial aqua clock find from Target finishes this cute corner off. 😉
How much do you love these dried yellow billy balls in an aqua mason jar? So much? Me too. 😉
Succulents have become our go-to accessory for each room in the house so we paired a prickly cactus in a scallop tin and it adds a touch of home to the space.
Adding laundry soaps, sprays, and other cleaning supplies in baskets and clear jars on top of our DIY Farmhouse Shelves makes cleaning organized and still pretty!
A tray over the washer/dryer I put a galvanized tray from Walmart to keep jars handy for little extras found in my kids pockets… and I find empty gun shells in my police husbands pants all. the. time. I’m used to it by now. 😉
Of course adding some touches of decor like my vintage fan, tobacco can with a faux succulent, and flowers in the sink really make the space homey and warm… pun intended. Haha.
I hung my ironing board on one side of the washer and a blank space on the opposite wall houses my larger cleaning supplies like my mop, duster, and Swiffer vacuum.
What do you think? I know this space needs a major overhaul but in the meantime, it’s amazing what accessories and paint can do!

I really love your new laundry room. I think I could get excited about laundry in there!!
Loving the Laundry room update , I adore the vintage feel and that sink !!
Super cute! Thanks for sharing @Vintage Charm!
My least favorite thing to do is the laundry but your space may make it enjoyable!
Blessings,

So cute! It has to make laundry day so much more pleasant! I love your clock and that you tucked your detergent packages in a pretty glass jar! Thanks so much for sharing at Celebrate Your Story!
Laundry might actually be fun in a room like this! For only $300 it looks like a million bucks.
Soooooo “slump block” …… what we call cinder block or concrete block? I found that very interesting.
Your makeover gives me hope. My laundry is in the basement but has only the exterior wall. I Have to get 3 more walls built. sigh….. Maybe one day.
I love what you’ve done and am pinning it to my laundry dream board.

What a cute makeover! I especially like the light, the clock, and the jars. Love the pops of yellow against the muted aqua wall color.
Thanks so much, Mimi! XO
Honestly, I think it is beautiful! I would want to spend time out there doing wash. <3
Everything looks so pretty! 🙂
