My happy orange laundry closet

Just recently gave my little laundry area/closet a happy makeover.

This the the eye sore it was before.

I am not a fan of the wire shelving.

So those had to go.

And the clutter.  ugh

Some went away, some went in clear boxes on a shelf in the garage (which is a work in progress itself).

So I had lumber cut to fit and painted it white to make a neat shelf.

I have another to go up too higher to hold bulk items like paper towels and light bulbs, etc.

On one side I hung some hooks I found on clearance at Target to hold drying bathing suits and unmentionables.  :)

Something else that had to go were the awful disfunctional bifold doors.

Now, not only do I not have to fight with them on a daily basis, I have more room to reach in this space.

It also allowed me to move the washer and dryer to one side allowing more storage space on the other side.

On my shelf along with all the detergents and whatnot,  I have some tins from Target dollar spot to toss lint and treasures (ie coins, buttons, tiny toys, beads, etc) I find in the wash.

Jars and small metal buckets keep common tools handy.

Since getting rid of the doors, I bought a set of window panels and cut the hem to size and hung up with a tension shower rod.

But I admit I love the fun orange space so much I find myself more motivated to keep it nice and neat so as to keep the curtains open.

Sigh....happy happy color.

Almost makes laundry bearable fun.
