DIY laundry fix

So my husband and I have been talking about changing up the laundry for a while now. Our current laundry space just wasn't conducive for all the things we needed it to be, ie. Storage, laundry, and mud room.  Enter Pinterest and an entire board was created just for a better laundry.  Well last week the diy bug bit my husband hard and he decided laundry was on the chopping block.  We found a paint color worked out a scheme for more storage and off we went.  As with any project what started out as a paint change and some added shelves, warped into stripes a new lighting fixture and pretty baskets to make it look fancy.  Paint color is Valspar for the blue and behr for the gray stripe.  I've wanted stripes for a while and I'm so glad I convinced myself to take the extra time and do it!! Plus it meant I got to use my favorite tool the CHALK LINE!! I have a seriously unhealthy love for that little guy.  But back to the laundry we added extra shelving and hooks and moved all our cleaning products.  I purged a ton of stuff as I restocked my new baskets and it felt soooo good.  The shelves themselves are Allen Roth and target hooks and the pendant light was an awesome clearance item at Home Depot! So without further ado the before and the after, and I must say this is my most designer worthy makeover yet!
