Laundry Room Makeover and a Giveaway!
Today I wanted to share with you one of my latest projects, my laundry room. I’ve always wanted a cute little sunshine filled yellow laundry room, and was so happy when we first moves in our home, because the laundry room was in fact yellow! But all that joy faded in a few weeks because it wasn’t quite the right shade of yellow. I can’t explain it, and you can’t really tell from the picture below, but it was more of a nursery yellow than a bright sunny yellow. It was just unnerving me, so I had to re-paint.
After I gave everything a fresh coat of brighter, happier yellow paint, we made a few more changes. I added some granite where there was a Formica counter before in the corner. The tile was also changed when we did the tile in the kitchen. And I also added a much needed laundry sorter. I got this one at Target and love it!
I know alot of people get rid of their in-wall ironing boards, but I love mine. I guess I’m old-fashioned that way. To modernize it a bit , I added this pretty stripped ironing board cover. I think it kind of makes it resemble a surfboard, don’t you think?
And over in the corner, we added a deep freeze. This laundry room must have been designed for a deep freeze, because it fits just so perfect. I love being able to freeze make-ahead meals, food that I buy in bulk and other items too big to fit in my refrigerator’s freezer.
For the wall art, I just shopped around my house and brought in the two silver framed photos and silver mirror to match the cabinet hardware. I also picked up these two cute wall hangings for the room. I think they both came from Marshall’s.
My husband got a kick out of this one, but he still doesn’t do laundry.
I’m in here everyday, doing at least one load of laundry. My family is pretty dirty. My husband does lots of things around the house, including working on the cars, so he gets really dirty. And between my giant stinky Labrador Coco and my active little boy, it’s a smelly, dog-hair filled mess.
To get out all those stains and smells, I depend on Arm and Hammer laundry detergent. It whitens socks, towels and sheets just as well as bleach without breaking down fibers. And this stuff is concentrated, so a little goes a long way.
It also works in both HE, which I have, and regular washing machines. It smells great too!

ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda
Let’s not forget the product we all know and love, baking soda! We use it not only in the laundry room, but of course in the kitchen for baking, the fridge, the freezer, the pool, the hot tub, and the list goes on and on. Did you know that for more than 165 years, people have chosen pure, versatile, effective, safe, and affordable ARM & HAMMER™ Baking Soda for baking, household, and personal care uses. Their boxes are available in multiple sizes for any household need. I personally love the big economy size 12 lb bags available at the big box stores. We purchase at least 4 bags at a time.
