Laundry Room Makeover: Cubby Storage


When we first moved in to our house about 20 months ago, our very first project was to paint and replace the floors in the laundry room. But, that is where we stopped. We added the washer, dryer, a trashcan, and some cheap mdf storage cubbies for shoes, laundry detergent, etc. Lately, I've been itching to make it more functional and less sterile. I want something like this wall storage from potterybarn.com for keys, wallets, change, and other assorted junk that collects. It's my first "laundry room project" desire.

Other goals for the laundry room:
1) Decide whether or not to stack the washer/dryer.
a. If stack, build-in cabinets next to washer/dryer on bottom and top.
b. If not, make countertop similar to the one the youngsters did at younghouselove.com.
Click here to see. Then, hang cabinets above washer/dryer for extra storage.
2) Find more aesthetically pleasing shoe storage to replace the mdf storage cubbies.
3) Find cheaper alternative to the PB cubby storage.
