Laundry Room Makeover Part 2


I painted the cabinets! Sea foam. The color doesn't show up very well in these pictures, but it is a fun, vintage, thrift store sort of green.

I lightly sanded them, cleaned them, and then painted them with one coat of paint. I waited for it to dry, lightly sanded again (especially around the edges for that 'distressed' look, and painted them again. For the second coat I watered down the paint 1:1 for a lighter glaze. Once it was dry, I lightly sanded again.
Now all I need to do is cover it w/ a protective coating.



I added some baskets to the top of the cabinet to hold board games.
Still much to do in there. I still have plans to paint the walls a creamy color (that lavender blue dilly dilly has to go!) and add a shelf and some other touches here and there.

All that to come!
