I’m trying to catch up on posting some projects. The laundry room isn’t totally finished, but these shelves have been done for a L-O-N-G time. I am just such a slacker I never wrote the post. So let me scrounge up the pics and get writing!
In the meantime… You can refresh your memory on my laundry room renovation with these posts:
1: The Initial Renovation
2: Shelf Over Stacked Washer/Dryer
3: Wallpaper, Outlets, and Doors
4: Laundry Basket Shelf and Counter Top
We left off here, in desperate need of some wall shelves.
I always wanted the look of shelves on corbels for in here, but I somehow convinced myself it would be too much work to build shelves like that. Crazy I know. In my first round of laundry room renovations I put these ugly shelves up. {Which were totally not finished in this pic.} I think part of the problem was the amount of wall space that needed to be covered. That and I was trying to incorporate a drying rack at that time. The corbels come with a mounting system, which hubby used to hang them. Ladies, this is totally an easy job and in no way am I trying to insinuate that you can’t do this yourself. Sometimes you’ve just got to throw your man a bone. This is the perfect type of job for my hubby. Remember, I was the one who built the partition wall and shelf above the washer/dryer. 🙂
Of course he stopped to make the same joke he always does a funny joke about the stud finder.
I came back to make sure they were level.











And this is how they turned out in the end…

Very pretty, Liz! The shelves really tie finish off that area. It is all lookin’ good! 🙂
Pssst…my hubby would do the same thing with the stud finder tool. lol
Man humor… you gotta love it! The only thing left in the laundry room is a drying rack of some sort for the back of the door. I am back and forth with what to use. The door is not the ideal spot, but there is really no other option. I bought an old ladder, but now I think it’s too big. I need to just make a decision already! 🙂
They have retractable drying lines. I think you would be able to do something really nice with that. Your children are beautiful. You are a beautiful family. My kids are 15 months apart. They are now 18 and 19. Best friends. I wish you all the happiness I had/have and more.
My children are 13 months apart, they are now 18 and 19. I hope you have as much fun as I have had and still have. Look at retractable drying racks. That would be cool. Your family is beautiful, have a happy life.
Thanks John! I will give the retractable racks another look. The space is just so tight in there, I feel like I’d walk into anything that was hanging from a line. I’ll figure something out eventually. 😉
Hey Liz! Thanks for sharing this over at the Remodelaholics Anonymous link party. My husband makes the SAME joke every time we pull out the stud finder! 🙂 Also, I wanted to let you know that this will be included in our party features post (going up tomorrow morning) and we’d love to have you link up other projects at this weekend’s link party (also starting tomorrow morning).
Thanks and have a great day,
Lorene @Remodelaholic
Awesome! Thanks so much. I look forward to linking up again this weekend. Happy New Year!!
