Horizontal Stripe Laundry Room Makeover






















If we're being honest, nearly EVERYONE hates their laundry room. Its like the movie groundhog day became a room in your house. Right?! Its one of the worst rooms in my house and its not so much the room itself as it is the endless work I do there isn't going away.  So I did what anyone would do, got on Pinterest and Youtube and decided to make this a double-take room. So here is what went down.





My average laundry room pre-cosmetic surgery. Bleh.

Using a measuring tape, I marked the walls in the left, middle and right sides of the wall every nine inches. I decided on nine inches because the ceilings are 9 feet high and I knew it would give me ten stripes.




Then using a chalk line, I secured on end with a push pin, pulled it tight and marked my stripes on the wall. 



Then to make it easier on myself I wrote "black" where I wanted black stripes to be painted. I then tapped off the lines making sure to push it firm against the wall to minimize bleeding. 




After painting the black stripes, adding gold glam and touching up a few places the results were amazing! I absolutely love the transformation!

Here is the link of the tutorial I followed on Youtube. Enjoy!
