This is going to be my winter project. I want to turn this nasty, cluttered mess into an organized, functional and NICE room.
This is the laundry/mechanical/utility/storage/junk room in Casa del Sol and it's desperately crying out for a make-over.
Hmm, how to hide this mess o' pipes?
Right now, I hate this room. I want it to be pretty and tidy and organized. I'd love to finish the walls by hanging gyproc, but until we get the terrace leak under control, that's not feasible. This room tends to flood during rainstorms, so it'd be ruined in no time. I was thinking maybe a cheaper alternative would be to use peg board to cover the metal studs?? I'd like to get rid of the open shelving, but I don't think cabinets are in the budget, so maybe some nice looking baskets to hide the clutter?? So far, my only real plan is to remove EVERYTHING, scrub it from top to bottom and slap a coat of paint on it. I'm thinking something along the lines of: Pacific Coast.
This little room gets stinkin' hot, so I'm hoping for the illusion of a cool ocean breeze. I'm now accepting any and all ideas to transform this dingy little room into a pleasant space to do laundry.
Surfing the internet for ideas: See? Pegboard. Very handy.
Seeing as cabinetry isn't in the budget, maybe I could hide crap behind curtains. A tad cottage-y maybe, but in a nice bright ocean-y print, it could work.
I liked the boxes on the shelves in this one.
This one, of course, I just liked the colour!
Oh, for a front-load washer... this could actually work
