Laundry Room Custom Cabinet Reveal

There was one room in my house that you never saw, or at least I hoped no one ever saw...my laundry room.  Surprisingly, it was the ONLY room in our entire house that had never seen another paint color than the original the builder did 7 years ago.  I know, ME!  The one who paints and repaints walls constantly had a blank canvas and an undecorated room.  Every time I mentioned to my husband that I needed to clean up the laundry room, he would say "Why? No one sees it why spend the time and money on it?".  Well, I see it!  So, while doing laundry last week I decided that was about to change.  I needed a calm and relaxing environment even if no one benefits from it but me.

Here is the boring and realistic BEFORE:

My biggest complaint was lack of storage and use of space.  These wire shelves...weren't cutting it.  I would get so frustrated when items would fall through the slits and land behind my washer and dryer.  I really wanted some custom built-ins that held a lot; yet,  could conceal items to make it look a little bit more appealing.  However, I didn't want to PAY for custom built-ins...so I decided to customize and build my own!

Here is the finished AFTER:

This was really hard to photograph due to the angle of the room and doorway, but here is a glimpse of the inside with the cabinet doors open:

I LOVE how they turned out and am very excited to fill up all these cupboards!

I painted the room Valspar's Notre Dame, a very soft gray.
