Updated: we have a winner! Congratulations, Jen! We hope you enjoy your sweet prize. And special thanks to The Home Depot, Maytag + P&G for this amazing giveaway!
Hello lovelies! Today, we’re back to share a bit more of our laundry room, and a few tips and tricks for making the never ending chore that is laundry… easier! {Stay tuned for the giveaway, below!}
We all know that getting our laundry done can be a total pain in the patookie. I’m also pretty sure it’s my number one complaint when it comes to all things household management. It’s the job that never ends.
Did you know that the average family does around 400 loads of laundry each year?
I don’t know about you guys, but this is not surprising at all to us. It can be a little overwhelming, to say the least. Today, I thought I’d share a few tips and tricks about our laundry room that we love … because sometimes, it’s the little things.
1. Make it light.
Or darken it, or add color, or whatever it takes to get you to love your laundry room. We started out in a builder’s beige nightmare dream. {Sometimes, I feel like people love various shades of brown a little much in our neck of the woods.} This was before we were really ‘going for it’ in our home, and we lived with it this way for a few years. Finally enough was enough, and we decided to make a change.
If you hate your laundry room, it can make the daunting task of laundry a bit less than inspiring. With a little elbow grease, we decided that it was time to change things up a bit.
I realize that we were very fortunate to have lots of cabinets in our laundry room. This gives us lots of storage, but because of that, it was also very dark and cavernous.
So operation lighten and brighten was on for us. We were so tired of that dark, overwhelming brown that we painted our cabinets and gave our walls a fresh coat of fun blue.
It totally changed the way I looked at our space.
We also added some board and batten for a timeless/farmhouse, clean kind of old school feel.
And before we knew it, our laundry room was a lot more appealing for us. Sure, our laundry still piles up occasionally. That’s life. But it gives me the incentive to keep the room looking fresh. We even removed a door which was really cutting off the space, visually. It opens right off of our kitchen and makes everything feel roomier so we keep it clean (most of the time… since everyone and their grandmother can see it).
2. Make it fun.
Beyond those initial paint and color changes, we added personal touches that up the ante in the looks department. Who says you have to follow “the rules” for a laundry room? Honestly guys… I am too sexy for my laundry. (Who isn’t?!) And I like a fuzzy rug for a shot of welcoming color and something comfy under my toes.
I love touches of art in unexpected places.
And I even revamped a bit of a mid-century fabulous gold chandy with some spray paint {on the candles} to add some swag for a fun, not-so-typical-modern look.
Don’t worry… we just relocated the old one, because once it was hanging, our chain was too short. (We have more on that coming soon. But to read up on how to install a chandelier, be sure to click on over here.)
Add personal touches that you love, and you’ll feel so much better about that never-ending chore. Because we all know ignoring it, won’t make it go away.
3. Make it efficient
Again, this will be different for everyone. But for me, it’s the little things. I was so super tired of lifting the giant jugs of detergent that were as large as me over my head to reach my HE washer and dryer. #firstworldproblems. So I decided to make it visually appealing, and easy to access by using drink holders. We love it.
Our laundry room doubles as a mud room. And triples as craft storage. And though this room is generous, everything is valuable real estate in our home with our family of five. This space is essential.
{Just this year, we did a super purge and organized everything in sight}. Since our kitchen is full of open cabinets, we decided to take advantage of the storage space, here.
Also, we used hooks to designate a drop zone, and it’s totally changed the way our family uses this room. This wall is so simple, but it’s one of my favorite places in our home. No more tossed jumbles of book bags.
We also try to keep the counters clear, so that I can fold and organize as needed in this space. This means corralling similar items into baskets, and keeping it as-in-control as I can in the meantime.
See that painted slab of MDF on top of my sink? It gives me more counter space when I’m not using it. Again – the little things.
So there we are! Just a few things that work for our family. No, not everyone wants an antique ironing board. Maybe it’s not the most useful thing in the whole entire world. But I think it’s gorgeous in its own way. So there it will stay.

Elisa says
I love your laundry room! I need to try the drink dispenser idea for soap. Genius! I would use the gift card to add some lights in my laundry (there are NO lights above my washer and dryer – in a basement). I’d also add some cabinets. How fun!
Carolyn Lontin says
Fantastic laundry room!! We’ve been talking about painting our kitchen cabinets so the gift card from the Home Depot would be fabulous!! Thanks for the chance to win!

katie greenlaw says
Our laundry room is adequate. It’s not fantastic, but there is a some storage, a sink, and a counter to fold laundry on. I’d love to create something magical. With 3 kids, I’m in the laundry room all day doing laundry, and it’s not very inspiring or welcoming. I’d love a chance to change that 🙂
Trilby says
I would organize our outdoor laundry/shed into an outdoor laundry and shed! Fix the holes and the ceiling, put up new shelves, and find a way to hide the water heater!

I’d use the $500 to work on our home office where we’re planning on building a wall of bookshelves and desk. $500 would really help my shoestring budget. 🙂
Christina C. says
I would use the gift card to give my closet and outdoor space a little update!

Caitlin says
I’d definitely redo my closet storage! I’ve only got one big closet in my 600 sq foot apartment and it’s laid out so poorly that I know I could get a lot more in there if it was better organized.
liz says
I would so love to use that giftcard to put towards new counters or a light fixture for our kitchen. I have to admit I think I have the seven year itch… we’ve been in our home for seven years. And although there’s nothing “wrong” with anything… updates would be spectacular… and a chance to make the place more “us” would be so great!
Amy says
I would definitely use it to do a little change in my kitchen and redo my master bath!
Sarah Mikol says
I just bought my first house in May, and would absolutely use this $500 to give my kitchen an overhaul. I have always dreamed of having white cabinets and a blue tile back splash with pops of yellow!

In the process of buying a fixer upper. So many things I could use this for. The house currently does not have a laundry room (the washer was in the kitchen & the dryer outside. yikes!) Our plan is to add one on. Pick me please 🙂
Shannon says
We recently bought a new home and have soo many uses for that $500 gift card! We’re building a deck in the backyard and could use it for materials, we are planning to finish the basement ourselves, and have many, many more projects on the list that this would be useful for!

Lisa Denton says
There are so many things that I would do.. I have something that I wanted to paint on the wall. I would love to add a basket rack that I found on pinterest. And I need to get the washer that goes with my new dryer. Our laundry room is small and narrow but has loads of potential!!!
Shannon says
Just shared on Facebook too!
Carrie B says
I would put that towards a new on demand water heater! And maybe to get some tiling supplies to finally law down the Saltillo that’s been sitting in our garage for 6 months.
Jessica Anderson says
I would love better storage and a sink in my laundry room! Thanks for the inspiration!
Sam Frank says
I wish I had a laundry room to refinish – all we’ve got is a washer and dryer up on cinderblocks in our basement. But it’s a big improvement from havign to traipse down three flights of stairs to the shared laundry room at the old apartment! With $500 for Home Depot, I think I’d use it to by quarter-round to occompany our floor molding, not to mention new tiles for our kitchen floor and sunroom, and some beadboard for the kitchen backsplash, and, and…we just moved in, I could go on and on, haha!
Ingrid says
I’d love to paint some of our boring beige walls.
Jen says
My laundry room is a total mess I would love to redo it
Jordan says
My laundry room is a long skinny hallway with the dreaded wire shelves (why do they install them at giant’s height??!!). Id yank those babies down and put up some stock cabinets with shelves in between. We need storage solutions like mad, so we’d use that giftcard up fast!!
Lauren says
What couldn’t I do with it? Hmm I’d definitely be needing some paint….various rooms in our house need brightening up. And then plants! I love plants, and I would love to fill the patio with them. And then maybe grab a little spray paint for a certain chair that needs help. So fun!
Stephanie R says
We’re moving in a couple of weeks, so I have a lot of projects coming up. I’d love to use that $500 gift card to update the kitchen – gray paint for the cabinets, white backsplash and new paint for the walls.
Sarah (SophieBugsMom) says
There is way too much I could use the $500 for! Paint for my bathroom… want to add board and batten to my master bedroom, mulch for the front yard, new lighting for my master bedroom, replace the tools my teenage son lost over the summer from his various projects, etc etc etc.

Kates says
I would like to say I would buy something totally fun but I am sure with the money I would buy lots of paint and shelves….maybe even a plant or too!!!
joy weber says
My laundry room is so small. I would get estimates on how to expand it into our family room (I would have to move a wall, it might not be possible). But a girl can dream. If that didn’t work, I would add some covered storage above the washer and dryer and a sorting area. THANK YOU!
Anastasia says
Love this room makeover! How bright and cheery it made the laundry room! 🙂 I’d love to do something similar! Take out the dark cabinet doors, paint the cabinets a cheery, light color. Add some storage and some room to work (like a table for folding 🙂 ) So many possibilities! 🙂
Anastasia says

We would love a luandrey room with storage! We have one measly shelf! A new light fixture,a set of cabinets,and some cute baskets or drying rack is what I would add! I wish we had a bigger luandrey room but I suppose I am lucky to have a small one! Great job on your luandrey room!

Maureen Geraghty says
I’d use it to do some needed upgrades in our kitchen!
Jenni says
I still have several spots in my new house that need some love – most notably replacing some light fixtures that I despise…..that’s how I would use the $$.
Jo says
hmm…I’d spend the $500 on closet organization products!
Anita says
Having a 30 year old washer and dryer, I would most definitely LOVE a new, more efficient set. Hubby insists on fixing ours over and over and over and over again. Every square inch of our laundry room needs HELP!
Amanda H. says
I have a dark scary basement where the washing machine and dryer live. It is not pretty. If the area were to receive a facelift perhaps the children would be more willing to do laundry. Wishful thinking…..

Victoria says
I LOVE decanting the detergent! It truly is the little things, right?! I’d definitely spend SOME of that 500 buying a cute container, haha! 🙂 As always, thanks for the inspiration!
Kasie E. says
The gift card would go towards all the little projects on our to do list that we have been neglecting because money has been a bit tight right now. Our laundry is in a hall closet and the tracking on the doors needs to be replaced so, we would probably start there 🙂

Ahh I love your laundry room. That red rug drew me in and now I must.have.it! I love that it’s bright, casual, and says “hey, come stand on me while you throw your clothes in the washer” — well, ya know…if rugs talked! LOL!
Anyhow, this post is about laundry rooms and not rugs, so I’ll bring it back around and make it relevant. So… umm that $500 gift card would be about 500 shades of awesomesauce! Especially since my beloved washer got banged up in the move and the door won’t close (RIP washer). So yea, those $500 smackaroos would definitely come in handy and be put to good use. (ie: pick ME!!)
Catherine says
I would paint our laundry room cabinets & walls, then update the sink.
Thanks so much!
Rachel says
My laundry room is begging for a makeover. It’s so very tiny and we desperately need more/better storage solutions. Plus, it’s a dark hole of brick red and needs some lightening and brightening!
Kathy G says
Love your laundry room! Ours is laundry room, mud room, teeny tiny bathroom, litter boxes, storage, and more. I would close up the ceiling of our laundry room (which is currently open rafters), paint the walls and cabinets and just make it more functional – spend lots of time in there! Thanks! 🙂
Anna @ A Good Home says
Oh, how I’d love to win!
Liz R. says
Our laundry room is in need of some serious work! It is in our unfinished basement that we just haven’t had the time or money to get to yet. Winning would seriously mean a transformation down there! Thanks for the chance!
Laura Ingalls Gunn says
I have a large area behind the door that is just begging for some built ins. I have a storage shortage problem in my tiny home so this would make a huge difference,
Sarah says
$500 at Home Depot would a total game-changer in our home! My family is in the process of moving, and we could use that money for anything from paint in our new home, some upgraded tools to help fix up our home (like a table saw!), to a new washer or dryer.
Jessica @ Mom 4 Real says
I sooo need to do something with my laundry room…it’s tiny and under our stairs, but I would love to just be at peace when I am working there…it’s plain ugly 😉
Allison says
My soon to be laundry room is really just my washing machine and dryer in the corner of our unfinished basement. It’s terrible! I’d love to be able to make it into a real room with walls and to lift up the machines onto a platform.
Hanna says
I would love to add some curtains, more organized baskets and jars for our dish soap.
Sarah says

With $500 I’d replace the cracked and broken tile on my laundry room floor with vinyl plank (awesome water resistance) and install some much needed storage.
Jessica C says
My laundry room desperately needs a sink. And the cabinets really need to be painted. Sink first, though.
carolina says
What would I do with a $500 Home Depot gift card? In my house? Pick a project… Any project… 🙂
Kelli says
I am currently in the process of redoing OUR laundry room actually! It has come to a screaming hault though due to some unexpected bills. Alas, it is now cluttered (with all of the stuff we removed from the cabinets… because we tore them out. sigh). So I would def use that money to finish up that project! VERY cooincidental that your post is about your laundry room. FATE? I think so… 🙂

There are so many projects on our to do list, but one that I’ve been drooling over is a beautiful backsplash in our kitchen. It will give our kitchen a nice personal touch!
Colleen says
I need a counter over my washer and dryer since they’re in a closet, not their own room. And the space could really used more (and better) organization. 🙂
Rae @ Motherhood Handmade says
I’d surprise my husband with it. He’s a teacher, so we often have more time than money for home projects. That money could handle most of the window replacement that we need to do next!
n says
I would use the $500 towards a new washer and dryer!! We rent right now and out rental came with a set but we’ll need one when we move 🙂
Truly says
I am pretty much in desperate need of a new washer. We just had our fourth boy and use cloth diapers so the laundry room is definitely a very important room in our home.
Deidre Keranen says
I’d definitely lighten our cupboards as well, and paint the wall. And get cuter methods of storing cleaning supplies, etc. And add hooks and cubbies to make it also a drop zone/entry.
Eliz says
I would love to repaint our laundry room, add some art and hooks.
Laree @ Ever Heard Of Euless says
Our dishwasher is dying – I’d put it towards that!
cursingmama says
Beautiful reno. I am wondering if you’ve had any dripping with the liquid laundry detergent dispensers you are using? I would love to use something other than the ugly jug but my experience with this type of dispenser is that they sometimes leak, drip, and I end up with a lot of sticky detergent spots to clean up. I love the look of these though!
ashley @ the handmade home says
Hey! I put the little cups underneath, so that it catches the drips. ;} For the photos, they are moved to the center. ;} Good question though!
mary kennedy says
I would turn my boring old deck into an oasis!
Liesel says
There are so many things I could spend it on! I think a new back door would be top of the list though.

Micael Kemp says
My sister and I are complete opposites. Given me an art supply shop or bookstore. Give her Home Depot. She can spend hours in there, looking at tools, fixtures, raw materials and “parts” (as she calls them). She lives in a small town in Idaho where there is not much employment, and she lives in reduces circumstances. She lives a very rugged life, making/building most things herself, from the clothes she wears to the barn she is just finishing in the back yard. I can think of nothing that would make her happier than a gift card to Home Depot, and no one who would put it to better use. If I got the card, it would go to her.
Bobbi Arndorfer says

Hi- Love the beautiful laundry room! I actually like doing laundry (I know- I’m a odd bird!) But I would give the gift card to my mom and dad to purcase a new W&D set. My parents are helping us out as we save money for our own house and allowing us to do our laundry at their house. That poor W&D (nicknamed Bert & Ernie) are two of the hardest workers in the house.
Thanks again for the inspiration. ~Allison

Our laundry room is currently in a dark concrete corner of our basement. The $500 would be just what we need to brighten up the space and make it a functional room to get some laundry done! We love your laundry room (and your entire house, for that matter). Would $500 be enough to have you come over and help us decorate? 😉

I would use the $500 gift card for some updates to our 816 square foot home. We still have the old linoleum and would love to do a black and white checked vinyl floor. We are having our second daughter in December and the girls will share a room, so we would also love to redo the closet with a closet system! Also, the laundry room is a strange add-on room, so anything to spruce it up would be awesome.

Monica says
Wow! I’d use that $500 to finish my laundry-room revamp. I added white cabinets from Home Depot just a couple of months ago but never got around to repainting, adding hooks (for mudroom!), adding another shelf underneath the cabinets so that stuff doesn’t keep falling BEHIND the washer and dryer! 🙂 And now that I see all your cute art and the RUG! Holy Cow! I need some pretty stuff in laundry room to make it more fun (did I just say “fun” about laundry?) in there!

I would move our washer and dryer back from the garage into the laundry room. A few years ago, when my son was born, we moved it into the garage as a temporary fix to use the space as a workstation. Now that I have the luxury of being a stay at home momm, my work consists of lots of laundry! Doing it in the garage gives me the heebie-geebies. I know. #firstworldproblems.

I would use the funds to repair many unsightly items in the kitchen. Like replace missing drawers, repair drawers so they can open easier, replace old blinds, re-finish cabinets, change cabinet pulls, replace hood and dishwasher. I know this may not be enough to finish the project, but its a start to the kitchen looking nice. 🙂
Barbi says
Yes, I do alot of laundry…I am wife and mother to 5 sons, I’d say I probably do about 10 loads per week, like you said, it’s never-ending. That and food or related chores, I really enjoy it though, I have lots of blessings to count. I will totally agree on the lighting, you have to have lots of great lighting. If it’s too dark and dingy nobody would want to go in there. My room is in progress…it’s in our unfinished basement. It will also double as a craft room. The ironing board is the best part, I have my grandmothers wooden ironing board and I can’t imagine ironing on anything else. The newer metal ones seem too flimsy. I sort of feel a connection to my grandma in heaven when I use it. Maybe that sounds weird, but as mothers we all have to stick together. Gotta get back to one of my many loads, Toodles!

I desperately need $500 to spend at Home Depot. Big time. By the way, where are all your piles of laundry the family throws on the floor in the laundry room? I have an empty laundry bin with laundry on the floor beside it. No reason for the floor pile – I guess the bin must be invisible to them.

Laundry, Schmaundry!
I live in a 1939 bungalow. The laundry room is situated in the “darkness” speaks my 7 year old. Really, it is in a finished basement and it has lots of potential. Its uses consist of laundry, storage and garage all in one. Garage, you say? Skis, bicycles, golf clubs, and uhmmm……linens. I’m embarrassed, but what can I say? 1939 didn’t require the “stuff” we have now, to fit in a garage. I need to purge and then….$500 for an upright storage shelving unit, a washer (the current one is from 1979 and has lived in 6 states) and a can of Benjamin Moore Paint. (still deciding between grays!)

I just purchased a foreclosure in my hometown. I paid $16,000. That’s right, only $16,000. It’s a fixer-upper that doesn’t have any kitchen countertops. So I’d buy some kitchen cabinets, countertops and a fridge. I currently don’t have a fridge, I’m using a little student fridge at the moment. And to store my pots, pans and plates I’m using old WalMart bookshelves.

Where to start? I need fun, new lighting in both my laundry room & bathroom. I also need a counter over my W/D. That should spend it all, if not more!
ellen casper says
We’re getting ready to redo our master bath, so I’d use it for that – tile, vanity etc

I will remodel my son’s bathroom
Aubrey says
I would add much needed storage to my laundry room. I have hanging room for clothes, but no storage. Storage with doors, a dream come true. Add some board and batten… Oh boy!
Ps. Where is your red rug from?
Heather Demers says
For starters, paint, then some cupboards to hide all those “accessories” you need in a laundry room. Next an indoor drying rack and a new ironing station. And relocate my laundry sink to the other side of the room. That would just about use up $500. and maybe a bit more.
Jen Y says
I would love to paint my laundry room.
Kay says
I have a bathroom in my basement that is all plumbed, but that’s it! I would put the $500 towards finishing it so we could actually use it! 🙂
Sheri says
Soooo many options! Wouldn’t even know where to start!!!
Jolene says
The laundry detergent would be used up quickly in our home of 6! And the gift card? We just moved into a older rental, so it could be used in any number of ways… but I would probably use it to update some bathroom fixtures and paint some neutral walls with some color!
Katie says
Holy smokes – what a giveaway. Our laundry room is in our spidery-mildewy basement, and the Home Depot gift card could go a loooong way toward freshening and brightening that space. Fingers crossed!!
Laura Jones says
I just went to Home Depot last week and bought paint for my laundry room. A little Chantilly Lace (per the influence of the Mills fam!) on the doors, Woodlawn Blue on the walls, and some extra white paint I had laying around for the ceiling….it’s a whole new room. Seriously. Some much brighter and spacious feeling. So much better than the weird green of the paneling and the yellowed ceiling. What’s next? I hope a new floor! That’s what I would do if I won.

Kendi says
I’d use the $500 to DIY a w/d pedestal, some cabinets with space to hang clothes, and a counter. It would be nice to re-tile the floor and paint the small nook, too. Oh, and a new light (right now we just have a fluorescent tube office/garage/workshop-type fixture…it’s hawttt =P). Lastly, I want to install an electrical outlet in there. Who builds a laundry/garage entry/pantry space without ONE. SINGLE. OUTLET?! Anyway…mildly ambitious??? 🙂
P.S. I’m using a tablet to read your blog, which means that touchscreen scrolling occasionally results in accidental clicking on things. I don’t know what I accidentally clicked, because I was mid-scrolling-reading, but I was somewhere near the top of the page (so maybe it was the text based ad at the top of the sidebar?). Anyway, whatever it was led to a page full of graphic porn, advertising a mobile porn app!! I’m just guessoing that this is not the type of advertising you want on your blog, so I thought I’d give you a heads-up. Sorry I couldn’t be more specific about what I clicked on, but it was accidental so I truly have no idea.

I totally appreciate your disdain for builder’s beige. Being a realtor in Baton Rouge, LA, I spend more time than I’d like to surrounded by builder’s beige. Yuck! I would use the $500 to bring some much needed color variations to the walls of the world. Maybe I’ll start a campaign and call it “Down with Brown”!
Maryann Smith says
I’d buy some paint to spruce up my house.
Christine Sanchez says
We’d use the gift card to work on our outdoor space. It needs some love!
Suzanne says
Update our laundry room/guest bathroom. The guest bathroom is through the laundry room and it’s an eyesore. It needs at least a coat of paint and updated flooring, but I’d like to add some type of board and batten type treatment to at least the bathroom, if not both rooms.

Nichole Giles says
We just bought a new/older home that was flipped, but though we got a decent deal on it, it came with a very large slew of major projects needing to be done. Beginning with the yard, but also including our laundry room. And the garage. So I’d definitely use that gift card for one of those things. 🙂 Going to share this contest now.
Ashleigh H says
I would buy paint and lumber to continue the upgrades we are making in our boys’ room!
Toni says
I would add some color with a new shower curtain and accessories. It’s been all black and white for eight years, it’s time for some change.

Bonny says
I would do a bedroom makeover. Violet walls? Custom closet? Yes!
Holly B says
I’d love to spruce up our ugly cabinets!
Miranda says
With that gift card I would finally clean up my laundry room (for real). It’s in the darkest, dirtiest hole in our home (a 1950 ranch) and has absolutely no personality with its (poorly) painted cinderblock walls (from the previous owners) that are the foundation of the house, and the cement floor with no ceiling, exposing all the wires and floor joists for the floor above. To make this a place I’d actually want to do laundry would be wonderful! Think of all the laundry I would actually do! Rather than just throw it down the dark chute never to be seen again. 😉
Angela says
Your laundry room looks great. The rug is such a fun pop of color and patter. If I won the gift card, I would buy shelving! We have gutted our laundry room and widened it a bit to make room for a pantry in there. Can’t wait for al those shelves!
Shannon says
I’d buy light fixtures! We’re in desperate need.

Lisa Dorcy says
How fun! I love everything you did! Unfortunately we currently live in a rental home, but this is the first place I have lived (married) that has an actual laundry room instead of laundry closet! I however, have no sense of using it to its fullest potential! I would love to use the gift card to help me organize it better as with too little ones, laundry is a constant around here and I would love to make it more efficient!
Katie says
I’d put the gift card toward a new washer/dryer. Larger, more efficient machines would make my laundry life so much easier!
Kathy lopez says
I would hold onto my $500 dollar gift card for a couple more months because we are soon moving into our first home and I would love to get my laundry room started on the right track. This would be a step in the right direction! Woo hoo!
Candice says
I would use the gc to makeover my laundry space. It’s been way down low on the to do list for a long time. We have a little bitty laundry closet that looks almost the same as when we moved in 9 years ago wih the exception of adding a bunch of crap. It’s boring builder beige with wire shelving. While it does the job it would be nice to have it pretty too!

If I won the $500 gift card I would start with buying the wood for shelving. And a rod of some kind. And paint. I would love to have a lilac or lavender colored laundry room. I would also buy a big board for a nice countertop over the machines. One that touches all three walls – no more stuff dropped in between the machines/walls!
I would get a grill if I had enough left. The past two summers without one have not felt as summery.

Right now, I would use the $500 to get myself a desk and finish the room I use as an office/playroom for my kids and me. But! I would love to redo my mudroom/laundry room as well! Your MDF solution for the sink is pure genius! We have a utility sink in our room and we have ZERO counter space. I hate that there’s nowhere to fold laundry, but this solution you just gave may just change my life forever! And my husband’s … and save the fate of our bedroom floor from being permanently covered in socks and towels! Thank you!

Next I would replace the vinyl floors and remove the broken down bi-fold doors and open it all up! Put in some cute storage, hooks and cubbies for the kids.
This room, as well, acts as a laundry room and mud room.
Time to turn this drab room into a fresh, bright and cheery place to keep my kids clean and happy!
THANKS!!

With $500, I would paint my laundry and kitchen, which are connected. Add shelves to laundry room, and put a screen door on my pantry closet!

I’d add art and new flooring to my laundry area in the basement.
Sarah says
Ooh so many things I would do with HD $! Paint is right up at the top of my list, we bought our first home this spring and paint would definitely make it feel more like home, since I am waiting to hang photos and art until it’s been painted!

I would put the gift card towards a new washer that is balanced and doesn’t sound like it’s going to rotate right out the door every time I run a load through!

My laundry room is the saddest place in the house. Figuratively and Literally. This gift card could at least help with 50% of the problem! I may still hate to do the chore, but I’d love to love the space!!! Thanks for the chance.
Christine Tallarido says
I would put the gift card toward a new washer and dryer. Your laundry room is so fun!

Our house needs some love, so I would have a hard time deciding where that $500 would go! Probably in the garage to get my hubby some cabinets.

I would love to redo our laundry room [closet]. The walls need to be painted, new flooring, wood for custom shelving, and some type of countertop over the washer and dryer (socks fall in all the wrong places!). I want this card!

Elizabeth Byler Younts says
I’m moving and we are finally buying a house after 9 years of renting around the country with the military. That $500 would go FAR FAR FAR!!!! in all the houses we are looking at they need quite a kitchen and several need a hardwood flooring overhaul…all needs LOTS AND LOTS OF PAINT!

Amy says
We are going to add a back splash in our kitchen and desperately need blinds on our windows so we aren’t blinded when we sit at the island!
Where did you get the reg rug in your laundry room? I love it!
Heather Hale says
I would use this gift card to start a new laundry room all together. I currently don’t have a laundry room, no washer or dryer 🙁 we currently have an empty basement that needs a few water pipes so we can have a washer. Would LOVE to use this gift card to get it started!! Going to the laundry mat is getting very old!
Jayme O. says
Reface my kitchen cabinets!
Kourtnie Roberts says
Would be awesome to make wood decorations and fun stuff for my back yard
Kourtnie Roberts says
I pinned this!
Abby says
I would buy SO much paint. We’re in the middle of repainting the entire interior of our very first house (purchased just a month ago) and we’ve been going to Home Depot at least twice a week, thanks to all the projects we have going on.
And if I have some money left over, I would get important gardening materials: a wheelbarrow, rake, hoe…
Abby says
Pinned this beautiful giveaway on Pinterest.
Gina F says
We probably need to start with drywall, then decorate. Thanks!
Solducky says
I would love to makeover our laundry room or do a mudroom too! Yours is AMAZING! Seriously, I love it.
Lena Lini says
Love this… I have a laundry closet which we have painted walls and cabinets, taken off bifold doors and added curtains…. I would love to build or buy risers for the washer and dryers… tired of bending over and also need to added the “pretty touches.”

Gindy Horn says
If I was chosen to win your contest, I would use the money to add much needed shelving and organization to my laundry room. It is a small space, but could be organized better. We have been wanting to renovate it, but something always comes up financially. The laundry room drives me crazy due to not having a hanging rack and shelving for laundry products. Also, gardening products are stored in this room as well. It would be a big help and take the headache away for constantly having to hassle without the proper storage system. Thanks for considering me! Peace out!
Norma says
I’d use the card in the kitchen – our garbage disposal just died and the dishwasher is on it’s last legs.
