Farmhouse Laundry Room Organization Cabinet Makeover

This Farmhouse Laundry Room Organization Cabinet Makeover was a long time coming. I am so ready to show you the changes I made.

Farmhouse Laundry Room Organization Ideas

I have a tendency to neglect ugly things behind closed doors. My Spice Cabinet Organization and Pantry Organization with Mason Jars posts proved this. If I can hide the mess away I am pretty darn good at ignoring it. If you ever come over to the farmhouse, never look under the bed, ok?

The same holds true for the laundry room. We have lived in our home for almost 10 years now, and I never took the time to makeover laundry room. I always planned to, but other things somehow always climbed their way up the priority list.

I promised you all in my last organization video that I would tackle the laundry room next. Nothing motivates like telling a whole bunch of people you’re going to do something. With the pressure on, I started planning my next big organization project.

Lets take a look at the before

Farmhouse laundry room makeover before

The people who lived in this house before us devoted many hours of their lives to sponge painting the cabinet doors an electric blue. (I had to throw that adjective in there, because “blue” just doesn’t suffice). I devoted myself to painting the outsides, but remember my “closed door” problem? Yep, the backs of the doors stayed that way for going on 10 years now.

I thought through the look I wanted to achieve, and scoured Amazon for the right baskets, jars, paint and fabric that would fit the bill. Of course a few DIY projects popped into my mind.

I snagged up some linen white chalk paint, seagrass baskets, and two yards of a linen blend fabric. My plan fell into place pretty quickly.

But, as it often goes with me, my plans are never set in stone. I like to just start working on something and see where the process takes me. Well this time around, it took me to a whole new paint color about halfway through the project. I jumped ship and painted over the linen white chalk paint with a bold charcoal gray instead.

When you look through my laundry room from the back of the house, and into the kitchen there are touches of black. Swing arm wall sconces above the sink, black cabinet pulls, etc. The charcoal cabinet really pulls everything all together.

I crafted some custom linen ruffle liners for the baskets. (Tutorial on that coming soon!)

I poured my dry laundry goods, like my borax, washing soda, and oxygen cleaner into Le parfait Canning Jars, and added some cute labels. (Don’t forget to snag up the free printable labels below!)

I just love the way all my pretty laundry room items stand out against the dark charcoal gray color. So much so, that I decided to leave the doors off! I love the clean minimal look.

Wool Dryer Balls, Vintage Clothespins and Lavender Essential Oil (to go on my dryer balls) all now sit proudly on display.

I added the jute plant hangers to bring balance, and some fresh natural elements.

I poured my liquid spot remover pre treatment into my glass bottle from Grove, to make it fit in better with the neutral color scheme!

    Looks beautiful. We remodeled our laundry this past winter. We had to move the washer and drier from under the windows. I couldn’t reach my windows to open and let the breeze through. They were also eating up floor space in their location because my laundry is a longer skinnier space. We moved them to the end wall, but white custom made cabinets up my husband made. And I hide everything in large veggie baskets we picked up at our local Jungle Jim’s market for like 25 cents each. I love my laundry now. Blessings!

    Looks great! Love the cabinet color and ruffled baskets. I have a suggestion for taking it one step further. When we “updated” our laundry room, I asked my husband to make a removable shelf with sides and a back for above the washer/dryer (rests on the top of the washer/dryer and painted to match the cabinets) to hide the washer spigots. Was the icing on the cake. Wish I could attach a picture. It really is perfect.

      That sounds like a great idea! I will have to see if I can talk my husband into adding another project to the list. 😉

    Your laundry room is lovely and the charcoal color is a winner with how it makes your items on the shelves pop. My hesitation with something like this is that the bottles and jars are too small to hold the bulk of some items, such as laundry detergent and Borax. So are the boxes they come in simply hidden elsewhere and the small amounts on display just for that?

      I did run into that problem with this makeover. I had some extra space on the sides of the cabinets and in the upper baskets. Another great spot would be under the kitchen sink. Even if there is more stored away, it is worth it to me to have a tidy and accessible laundry cabinet. 🙂

    Hi Lisa,
    Is the tutorial on how to make the cloth liners for the baskets anywhere in sight? I just bought a new sewing machine and would love to make those!

    Thank you.

    Hi I just read that essential oils on dryer balls is dangerous because the oil is flammable. Have you heard that before? thanks

    Hello Miss Lisa!

    I’ve tried a few times to get the PDF and I’ve checked my entry, looked in both my inbox and junk mail folders. I tried another post as well…a more recent that contained an ebook. Both have failed to reach me but I do receive your blog posts. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you ☺️

    Hi Lisa, I just started watching your vlogs this week and ordered your course just the other day. I have started watching it. It’s really good. The only problem is I hate the way I look and sound on camera maybe I’ll just do videos of thrift shopping. I have four teenage sons all in a row I love watching it reminds me of when my kids were that age went so fast. God bless you and your family. Best Regards Dana DeAngelis
