Laundry Room Makeover on a Budget: Before & After

[@nikig2891]

Loved the results and really impressed with your patience. I would have settled for good enough but you took the time to find the perfect rug and that ironing board cover is amazing. That’s my takeaway - take the time to find what you love and don’t settle. Fantastic!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much! Yes, I definitely wanted a rug to match and I was lucky to find one at Target. Thanks so much for watching and your kind comment!

[@gamawjean9554]

I really don't understand the people that gave this a thumbs down!!! I am obsessed with organizational and decorating videos!!! I love your colors!!! This really inspires me and motivates me to redo my laundry room!!

[@aplacetonest]

haha I know, I guess not every video is going to appeal to everyone and some people do it just to be mean. :) I'm so glad the video inspired and motivated you! Thanks so much for watching!

[@mwadiyakin-malebo4135]

Good job, you use what you have to make the place more accessible and organize for the household usage.

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@diannaprescott8257]

Love your new laundry room! You did a fantastic job and didn't spend a fortune! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much!

[@marlaweiss1899]

I really like your video! I love the fact that you showed your real life laundry room. I can’t wait to try this simple redo.

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much!

[@dorissaylor239]

I like your frame reflects your Moroccan bin patterns.

[@thewadsquad]

Amazing as always. I watched the whole thing and was wowing the whole time! Love how you found everything to match so well!! Very inspiring!

[@aplacetonest]

Awww thanks Kim! Who knew you could order custom ironing board covers, right!?

[@kellymamaof4]

LOVE! Now I want wall art for my laundry room and and a rug! Lol. It looks awesome!

[@aplacetonest]

kellymamaof4 Thank you!

[@ChristyC0299]

Love the room with the color scheme, and the sign with Mickey super cute.

[@aplacetonest]

+christy corbin Thank you so much! I love the way it turned out!

[@cassitout]

I just love the blue and grey!!!! Looks great.

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@singit3630]

2020 and you are still inspiring. Making my own artwork now...👍👍👍

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much! Once you get your artwork made, share it with on Instagram at aplacetonestbecky. I'd love to see it!

[@lovelylouro]

Paper. towel. holder. Why haven't I thought of that yet?!! Lol. Great makeover! TFS!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@KedyBella]

You did such a great job. That's a real before and after. TFS

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you very much!

[@AlexisYenaiv]

that's about the size of my laundry room now I got ideas what I can do with it looks awesome!!

[@aplacetonest]

+Alexis Yenaiv Hernandez Thanks so much! It's definitely been a struggle but it's been working out for awhile now and it's so much more pleasant to walk into now. :)

[@AlexisYenaiv]

I bet it is, I would love doing laundry in an awesome place like this lol

[@sherryjellison]

That little waste can is adorable :) I love the navy blue... it's a nice change from everyone doing aqua or mint green laundry rooms.

[@aplacetonest]

I love that little trash can, too! It's so cute and holds a surprisingly large amount of lint!

[@AWanderingEye]

Looks wonderful! Now I'm thinking about ours....will need to put some thought into it as it serves multiple needs and reducing those means shifting or eliminating. The change in routine you made seems very doable. You must be very scheduled with your tasks, I would very easily just forget my ironing without it being on display...important thing is that it works for you!

[@aplacetonest]

CMS Sultana Thank you! :) I think I would forget my ironing, too if it weren't for the fact that eventually nobody would have any clothes to wear. LOL It's hard to organize any space when it has to serve several purposes. That's kind of how my master bedroom closet is since it also has to be the linen closet for our master bath. It's not perfect but I had to make it work. Thanks for watching!

[@Tinkerbell31326]

What a fabulous job you did. You have helped me rethink my laundry room.

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much! I think most laundry rooms are such a challenge, aren't they?

[@AR2025]

I'm in love with those baskets 😍😍😍 that's the pattern I'm using for my bedroom and living room hopefully soon my bathroom it's hard to find what I want and need to match

[@aplacetonest]

It is hard to find. I found them at a home decor discount store. I would check places like TJ Maxx, Marshall's, etc.

[@TinaJackson]

You could also put hanging canvas hanging bags on that wall for the towels and rags.

[@organizedbydarci8250]

What a transformation! Great Job.Enjoyed watching.Thanks for sharing.

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@sandramullen7804]

Love it !💗the navy is gorgeous and contrasts well with the walls , love your baskets they are really nice . Great job 👍💗

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much!

[@Liz-lw6ht]

Love your artwork and room. Great job!!!

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much! :)

[@shesinherapron]

Love it all! I wish I had a normal laundry room with walls. I would love walls. I just have it framed.

[@aplacetonest]

+She's In Her Apron Thank you so much! I've seen your laundry room and you've done a great job working around not having walls. :)

[@MySonsMother]

Stained floating shelves would look nice there, though what you've done is pretty. Are you finding that dark solid color rug shows all the lint and threads from the clothes? 6

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks! Surprisingly, it doesn't show lint very badly at all!

[@sherryjellison]

I've been trying to figure out where to store my drying rack for my dryer. Never though of putting it behind! Thanks

[@butterflyqueen9260]

Mines dusty back there

[@Makeupjunki76]

I hv an annoying bag full of grocery bags in my laundry room. That oatmeal container is great inspiration. My laundry rm is in desperate need of help lol this helped.

[@aplacetonest]

I'm so glad that was helpful! I think we all have issues with where to put those grocery bags! lol Thanks so much for watching!

[@Gri03]

I really love it. It looks like it was a very hard work but it truly payoffs in the ends right..?? I wish I have a laundry permits in my apt....

[@girlbeautiful2727]

OMGOSHHHHH 😲 I LOVE THIS! SO MANY WONDERFUL IDEAS. maybe they just didnt like the color. I bought my can from the $ tree. I absolutely love that tray. Yesss everything is beautiful!!!

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much!

[@girlbeautiful2727]

I keep returning to this wowww! 😀

[@lizmilien1983]

This has inspired me to makeover my laundry room! What color is the paint you used for the walls? I love your tray for laundry soaps, the hanger holder and cute ironing board cover. Great ideas and it looks so much bigger!

[@aplacetonest]

Liz Milien Thank you so much! I don't have the exact color for the paint since it is a Sherwin Williams color-match. Somebody else asked me for the paint color and I took a picture of the paint mixture label and I can post it on my Facebook page if you're interested.

[@lizmilien1983]

That's ok, it looks like the color of paint in our house. We bought 3 years ago from a bank and they didn't have the paint info. I will have to find a way to color match it. Thanks anyways. :)

[@aplacetonest]

Liz Milien I hate dealing with paint and trying to get things matched. It seems that no matter what paint places say, they never can really match things exactly. :)

[@faycouch973]

Looks Great! Well done!

[@melissawelch-mosley]

Beautiful space the navy was beautiful

[@pinknblonde86]

brilliant ideas and it's gorgeous! Love it girl!

[@aplacetonest]

Cupcakes and Kickboxing Thank so much!

[@patriciahurtado8593]

I simply love everything, Thanks for sharing.

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@gmgmusic02]

Love your laundry room makeover! Can you please share the link to where you purchased the navy trellis baskets?

[@aplacetonest]

+gmgmusic02 Thank you! I purchased them from Gordman's.

[@gmgmusic02]

+aplacetonest Blessings!

[@LiveLoveCHXBeach]

You did a wonderful job.

[@aplacetonest]

+Kathleen Howard (LiveLoveCHXBeach) Thank you so much! :)

[@dinape]

Great job! I love the navy color!

[@aplacetonest]

***** Thanks so much!

[@cynthialasher3269]

Nice job. It looks like a professional decorator did your laundry room.

[@aplacetonest]

That’s so sweet! Thank you very much!

[@christinecoleman6460]

Well organized

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@rg2057]

It helps me with the laundry

[@luella2897]

Great video! I'm looking for an ironing board cover too! I'll order one from her shop! Thanks!! Did you happen to notice the reflection of the bin designs in you wall art? Just an added benefit! LOL !!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much! Yes, definitely check out her store because she has tons of pretty designs!

[@seasonalliving2881]

Wow! Absolutely beautiful! Makes me want to do laundry! :) I really love your wall art. I would actually pay for that. ;)

[@aplacetonest]

+Autumn L. Thank you so much! I'll send you a bill. Lol :)

[@ramonajacobs9402]

Great job!!!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@paulac875]

Great Job!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@TheTrinbagonian]

great job sister!

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks so much!

[@lindajohnson668]

I LOVE your before and after MAKEOVER video! WOW! If you'd like to eliminate more of your cleaning supplies and harmful chemicals (and have the optional energizing natural fragrance), I highly recommend using a few things I've used and da certified health coach educate others on that also better support your and your family's health and wellness! Reducing our toxic load is key! I've used (& sell) Norwex for years (clean using water & special antibac microfiber that was designed to prep surgical rooms in Norway) AND essential oils that are 3rd party tested so also helps with our Wellness. I can't wait to update my laundry room. I've had a wall mounted iron board that I've never used and need to figure out if I'd really use it in there, cuz honestly don't ya want to watch TV or something while ironing? 😉

[@aplacetonest]

I have heard of Norwex but never used it personally. I hear great things about it though! Even though I keep my ironing board in the laundry room, I iron in the living room so I can watch t.v. Who wants to stay in the boring old laundry room and iron? Not me! lol

[@lindajohnson668]

aplacetonest Exactly! Thinking we'd sell the brand new wall mount iron board unless we end up moving and downsizing. If you'd like to try Norwex, I'm happy to send you samples.

[@emmalee4146]

what is the etsy info for the iron board cover? sorry if you posted it already.. but I didn't see it in the description box. thanks.

[@aplacetonest]

No problem...it's: www.etsy.com/shop/ForSeasonsHomeDecor

[@curlycurly004u]

great Job!

[@aplacetonest]

+curlycurly004u Thank you so much! :)

[@denisebigsbee5488]

great make over!🖒🖒

[@aplacetonest]

Thanks! :)

[@AussieFIag]

Great job 👍🏻

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much!

[@happyfeetacres3397]

It’s a process, better than before.. if you get the opportunity, get the wire rack out and replace it with open cabinet and one hanging rod. The ironing board and the paper towel look tacky, the wire rack at the back is hiding and difficult for you to reach out, perhaps put it somewhere that is easy reach when needed.. something to think of for future ..

[@tanyacampos-gracia3920]

Hi- I was going to ask, you the showed just about every gadget in the laundry room except for the detergent, the bleach, the fabric softener, the dryer sheets, etc. (Oh no I feel an anxiety attack coming-) Listen, you did a great job, what you "NEED" on "TOP" of your dryer are the detergent and the things aforementioned to "WASH" your clothes with, not clean your half/guest bath! 😉 Good job though👍I like the organization 😁

[@aplacetonest]

I did show the detergent and bleach. They are on the blue tray along with the bathroom cleaning products and mini trash can. I don't use fabric softener or dryer sheets so that's why I didn't show them. I'm glad you liked the organization. :)

[@citychicdoc1596]

Great video

[@aplacetonest]

+City Chic Doc Thank you! :)

[@anareyes4508]

Excellent

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you!

[@compassion2126]

the honest cleaners cleaners, are they natural and green?

[@aplacetonest]

They are definitely more natural and green than most other cleansers. More often, I still use vinegar and water to clean my counters but I do really enjoy the scent of the Honest Company's multi-surface spray. You can do a little bit of research on the EWG's website about the safety rating of some of the Honest Company cleaning products. www.ewg.org/guides/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=honest&x=0&y=0&page=1&per_page=15

[@visitor3756]

aplacetonest So glad you referred EWGs website since Honest Company was sited for not complying with the organic standard and labeling fraud.

[@MsSassyMT]

Nice.

[@aplacetonest]

+MsSassyMT Thank you! :)

[@sbellalopez9284]

Oh my I know need my laundry room redone needs a new paint coat it's been the same color offwhite boring new storage colors instead of white perhaps next weekend project 😉🤗🤗

[@aplacetonest]

Our whole house was white when we moved in and it was so boring! Some people can pull off all-white but I just feel like in my house, it looks like a hospital! lol What color are you thinking of painting it?

[@LaCouponista]

love it!!!

[@aplacetonest]

La Couponista Thank you!

[@sheliagore6541]

Love It.. !!

[@helenanagnostopoulou8710]

I'm sorry if I missed it but where do you keep your detergent? Love what you did.

[@aplacetonest]

I keep it on a decorative tray on the dryer.

[@JonesFamilyTravels]

I like the storage boxes #ytmm

[@aplacetonest]

Jones Family Travels Thanks!

[@theresaherrmann4965]

nice

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you! :)

[@nadiafleure6737]

have you been in M orocco before

[@aplacetonest]

No, I haven't but it would be an amazing place to visit!

[@nadiafleure6737]

+aplacetonest because you mentioned Morocco many times in the v8deo

[@BeccatheBargainer]

Great Project! I recently did mine as well:) Thanks for sharing yours! New Subbie!

[@aplacetonest]

+Becca the Bargainer Thank you! Welcome to my channel! :)

[@marymcnally4852]

Lovely job - inspirational ideas - but please label that bleach container!

[@amazinggrace3538]

To heck with ironing.... love the makeover though!!

[@aplacetonest]

Ironing definitely isn't my favorite but it's a necessary evil. ;) I'm glad you liked the makeover! I don't have to go in my laundry room anymore! Thanks for watching!

[@muslimah432]

Hi i really want to know the name of your paint on the walls i really love it!

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you! It's a custom-mix from Sherwin Williams. Here is a picture of the mixture: facebook.com/aplacetonest/photos/a.959073714117869.1073741830.623914164300494/1060126254012614/?type=3&theater

[@kalamarsh5061]

Your lucky to have a laundry to walk in. I dont. Mine just open door and shelves over the machines.

[@aplacetonest]

Yes, in my old house I only had a laundry closet, too.

[@sherrybutler3032]

What's the paint color?

[@aplacetonest]

It's a custom mixed color from Sherwin Williams. Here's a link to the picture of the top of the lid showing the color mix: facebook.com/aplacetonest/photos/a.959073714117869.1073741830.623914164300494/1060126254012614/?type=3&theater

[@jeanarchi1933]

Just wanted to say. I hope you labled the bleach bottle in a bright color

[@aplacetonest]

+Jean Archi Don't worry...I did. :)

[@jacque6317]

show

[@TinaJackson]

I would be better if they had put the W/D on the back wall of the laundry area. Having to walk in front of them, from the side just seems crazy. I'm sure it would have been just a little more plumbing.

[@aplacetonest]

Yes, I'm not sure why they did that either.

[@Liz-lw6ht]

Beautiful!! Great job!

[@aplacetonest]

Thank you so much!
