Laundry Room Table Makeover

Furniture Makeover

As of now I have great storage for all of my laundry room baskets, but it wasn't always that way!
Read on to see how I made over a thrift store desk into a laundry room table:

Here is how the laundry room looked before.

I like to have separate baskets for different types of laundry (whites, lights, darks and towels).  That way I can see quickly when I have a full load and just toss in a basket.  A vinyl Cricut label  on each basket makes sorting easy for everyone, but the baskets were taking up too much floor space.  I wanted some sort of table that would fit in between the pantry drawers and the washer and allow top and bottom basket storage.

(Here is a post where I show you how I customize drawers similar to the pantry ones in this photo)

I knew if I kept looking long enough, I would find something perfect -  
this thrift store desk was $15 and just needed some repainting.

At first I kept all of the shelving intact and sprayed it gold.  
It fit nicely in the space, but would only allow one basket to go underneath.

I decided to remove the extra shelving and all of my baskets now fit!  It was too bad to waste the extra spray paint but I held on to the wood just in case I use it in the future 😎

And there you have it, an inexpensive and easy laundry room table makeover!

I'll share a post in the future where you can see the laundry room makeover after we moved in. But for now if you want to see more thrifted furniture re-styles, you can check out this post.

  1. That's perfect! Funny enough I just spent my afternoon makeover a small portion of OUR laundry room making it all nice and neat and labeled.

  2. Thank you so much for sharing with Whimsy Home Wednesday Jennifer! I am collecting ideas for our laundry room... along with every other room I want to give a make over to! Using a desk was a good idea to use for your sorting baskets.

  3. Great idea, Jennifer! I like the idea of having four baskets like that. For years I used two--one light and one dark--but I still had to sort things out before washing. Your makeover here looks good and functions well!

    Thanks so much for joining the Grace at Home party at Imparting Grace. I'm featuring you this week!

  4. I love this idea. I have three laundry baskets but I have to keep them all stacked on top of each other ....

    1. It's so nice to be able to grab a basket and dump it in the wash without sorting!
