I caught the spring cleaning bug sometime during the unseasonably warm weather in March. So I rushed to the utility closet stubbing my toe on the fan attempting to reach for a mop. As I rubbed my aching foot I pondered why is the ugliest place in the house the most painful? Just the inspiration I needed for a new project, the 'Great Utility Room Redo'.Time: 2 hours
Cost: Free, borrowed to $60
Materials: Melamine or wood shelf, 2 brackets w/screws, drill, tape measure, pencil, drill, screw driver, wire shelves, liner, rubber mat
Directions:
Sketch out a plan for your redo or use an app to measure your space and give you some ideas on layout.
Measure the wall the shelf will be installed on, Subtract 2 inches from the door. Also measure your appliances for shelf height.
Purchase or find a melamine used reclaimed wooden shelf. Mark the wall using a pencil and ruler. Even out the brackets so that the weight of the shelf is balanced.
Install the shelf and anchor it to the brackets.
Screw the wire shelves to the shelf with cup hooks.
Line the shelf with paper and top with a clear rubber mat.
Load your appliances, baskets, and cleaning products.
Use command adhesives to the wall to hang brooms, ladders, etc.
Happy Spring Cleaning🀦
