I’ve painted, cleaned and it’s DONE
(Updated POST, added the paint color and how I used this color in my kitchen) This is a post from The Quilt Ladies and has a life of its own. How I updated our laundry room. It’s my number ONE pin on Pinterest and if you’d like to follow my Pinterest boards I’m HERE
Our little condo has a closet for the Laundry Room and I just didn’t like it, plus I couldn’t reach the shelf without being on my tip toes !

I moved everything out of our little kitchen dining area,
we don’t use it. Than went to Lowe’s
Want to see a grown man shiver in his work boots ?
Want to see a grown man shiver in his work boots ?
Walk into Lowe’s with a yellow legal pad, tape measure and pictures from
pinterest ! ! ! Yes, it was a metal tape measure not cloth, I’ve learned, they will laugh out loud at you, I know I did it….once.
My drying time was less with the cabinets in the air conditioning, in the garage and in Florida, it would have taken quite a bit longer for them to dry. This is 3 coats of the Valspar Latex Enamel Paint
Trick ONE, I get the better brushes HERE, NOT the cheap ones from Lowe’s.They wash great and no hairs come out like the other ones !
Trick TWO is a BROWN paper sack, paper is the finest sand paper. BUT, it must be a BROWN sack. The only one I had in the house was from a little quilt shop in McKinney, TX, Stitched with Love, their site. Cut the sack open and I like to fold it in and use just as sand paper, it makes the paint and wood soft ! 
This is the “BEFORE” of the closet
Everything out ! CLEANED and Taped wallsHow often do you move your washer and dryer?
I’m going to have to do it more often…it’s been 5 years for me. And, from the looks of it, too LONG !
LOVE the Blue 
First Cabinet up ! 
This is the “AFTER” I love it. Besides time this was not that expensive of a project, cabinets and paint about 150 dollars, I like !

Oh so lovely!
Thinking of step 1 to sponge paint oops paint!
Step 2 add cube basket on shelf to pop out color!
Maybe just maybe cabinet on side
Beth, you’re so creative and motivated! Love the color and that is one snazzy laundry closet!
