DIY Washer Makeover + Dryer (Laundry Room Makeover Series 1)

Welcome to the first part of my Laundry Room Makeover series! Between the twincesses and the hubster, there is always laundry to be done! We have a small laundry room right off the entry way. It’s a small space with two doors one to the entry way and one to the garage. So we are always in and out of this room whether to do laundry or just to get to the garage. Its also the place where I store all our bulk items like toilet paper, paper towels, cleaning products etc. So in short I was tired of seeing this space a mess and decided to pretty it up a bit. First step liven up the boring washer and dryer.
DIY Washer Makeover + Dryer (Laundry Makeover) - Revamp your washing machine and dryer with these super quick, easy, and inexpensive ideas!

I mean they aren’t the cool colorful front loading ones, they are just the basic ones that came with our house. So I wanted to jazz them up a bit. My first thought was to stencil them but paint seemed so permanent. I wanted something that I could change if I didn’t like it. And good thing too because I didn’t like the first thing I tried. Which was electrical tape. Just plain black electrical tape, i thought of chevron, diamond shapes but in the end I decided some black and white stripes would look so retro and cool.

So I used a piece of the tape as a spacer and my leveler to keep my lines perfect and got to taping.
(please ignore me in the picture, the hubster took the pic for me and although I specifically said make sure you don’t get me in all my pajamas and glasses glory…there I am lol)
Anyway so it came out pretty cool.

But I stopped at this point cause it just wasn’t fitting with the rest of the room. And so sat my laundry room for a few weeks. I knew I wanted something more colorful but the other colors of electrical tape weren’t what I had in mind. Then when going to get blue painters tape for another project I saw this!

Frog Tape in green! The exact shade of green I was looking for and so….project back on!! I got lazy and forgot the leveler this time, I just used two pieces of the tape on either side for spacing

And there she is! Isn’t she lovely. Bright and cheery yet not too much.

I decided to just do the door part of the dryer for a little contrast.

It was a little trickier trying to work around the handle and the hinges. But I just taped as usual and then used my exacto knife to cut out the extras.

And there you have it…Stay tuned for the rest of this laundry room redo!

Have you tried to pretty up your laundry space? I would love to hear your ideas!

    I saw your idea posted on 320 Sycamore and dropped in to view – one word for this project: JAZZY! Love the pop of color and really like the idea of doing just the dryer door. Anything to make laundry time better! J

      Awww thank you so much! I just love that it was cheap and took all of 15 minutes to really make a big difference in my laundry room. I hope you keep following the blog! 🙂

    Popping over from 320 as well. Too cute! Our last house had that same set up–small room+two doors+ big traffic area=a mess! I'm thinking it may not hold up forever, but for the "cost" of a bit of tape and 15 minutes of your time, who cares, right? 🙂 I love how the green from the palm tree on your trash can ties in with the frog tape. Good job!
