A Weekend Laundry Room Make Over on A Budget!

After my last post for my laundry room, I was really inspired. It didn't take too long and a few hiccups and the room was finished. I absolutely LOVE it. I also love that I did it all for about 130.00 (including wasting about 30 dollars on paint...i'm still a little bitter about this.)
I was really hoping to complete this project for around 100 bucks. I think I would've been able to do that had I not first of all, bought only a quart of paint--which only got me about one walls worth of painting. So, instead of going back to town I went to the little hardware store in my town, super, super sweet and helpful man working there. However, they didn't have my paint color so we just picked one close to it, I thought 'ehh how bad could it be (there went another 15 bucks) I got home got as much of it painted as I could and let it dry then my husband walks in and says..."babe...you know these two paints are completely different finishes right?" you've got to be kidding me!! SO long story short not only did we have to end up making the 30 minute drive to town we had to spend another 25 dollars on paint. Moral of the story here?? BUY THE GALLON OF PAINT THE FIRST TIME!! Would have saved me a lot of time and money. I'm also no longer allowed to purchase the paint for this house haha!

So here are the before pictures--

Not bad by any means but certainly void of any character or my touch. If you remember in my post earlier I had a very clear vision as to what I wanted. I called it vintage, with a smidge of Sally Owen's shop from Practical Magic and just a touch of farmhouse. I think I captured it pretty well. I have to wait until tomorrow to get my botanical prints put up so once I do that i'll add them to this!

 

 What it looked like planning it all out. Yikes.

 

Here we go!!

What we did:

Paint

Remove old shelving units

Add wooden with new decorative brackets

décor

(easy enough right?!)

I love my door, I get so many compliments on it when people come over it's the first thing the comment on. The wreath was a fun little project Sam and I did, i'd cut the greenery off a bush in our backyard and he'd stick them on there and tell me "pretty flowers, mom" haha! I, of course had to go in there and fix them but just the fact that he helped makes it one of my favorite things about the makeover.

 

 I got this cute little glass and wooden container/idk what it is?? For THREE DOLLARS yall. 3 bucks at Hobby Lobby. Someone mis marked it on a few of them. Therefore they honored that price! Score!

 

 I just finished doing everyone's laundry and everyone's bedding in my beautiful new laundry room--I loved every second of it.
