![]() ![]() ![]() □īefore I even brought the cabinets inside, I measured and marked where the top and bottom of my cabinets would be on the wall. So when I said my ‘left cabinet’ just above, I only meant the one I had mentally set aside as being the left cabinet. You just buy one and flip it upside down to get it the way you want it. So you don’t have to look for a left-swing cabinet or a right-swing cabinet. One thing to note if you’ve never bought cabinets before, the bottom and the top of the cabinet are the same. But I didn’t want to deal with cutting it to size and thought it’d work just as well in this particular instance to install it ahead of time. A lot of times the filler is added after cabinets are on the wall. Then from the inside of the cabinet, I used a nail gun to shoot a few 2 inch nails. Making sure it was flush with the cabinet box, I secured it in place with a few clamps. (After removing the cabinet doors from both cabinets.) So that’s where I started, by attaching the filler to the left side of the left cabinet. It’s attached to the side of the cabinets so you don’t have a small gap between the cabinet and wall. It has the same finish as the cabinets and is about 3 inches wide. Now about how I got these cabinets on the wall! While I was at the Depot, I also picked up a 30 inch piece of ‘filler’. Slap a new coat of paint on the walls and add cabinets and you’ll certainly notice the difference in the look and function in a small space like the laundry room! If that’s all you’re able to put into a room upgrade, I say it’s worth it. Don’t quote me on this, but the total for the 2 cabinets was right at $200. But I knew those 12 extra inches would be worth paying a little more! And more visually appealing, too. I briefly toiled with getting 1 cabinet that was 36 inches wide for a little less cost-wise. We went with 2 wall cabinets in satin white 30″ tall by 24″ wide. Which made following through with the purchase so much easier. Fortunately about the time we decided to get cabinets, Home Depot was having a sale on cabinets in stock. Nothing fancy or special, but boy is it an improvement over the shelf that was there before!Ĭabinets can be a bit pricey, even for the pre-finished style that we went with here. I already added a little storage on the wall opposite the washer and dryer by hanging a cube organizer.īut nothing compares to good old cabinetry! So that’s what happened above the washer and dryer. With 4 kids living in the house and the laundry room’s proximity to the kitchen, it serves as overflow for big box store food storage like cereals, chips, and snacks. A big issue I planned to correct when I started this laundry room project was a lack of storage. ![]()
