TGIF! Our spring break is officially here. Sadly I’m not going to Cancun to party it up like a bunch of MTV teenagers (As if!). But, I am hanging with two guys! My two little guys that is. I’m looking forward to crafting a little bit with them and maybe catch up on some sewing. My boys both like to sew. They also like to build with hammers. That’s my parenting mission at work. I vow to teach them to do everything that I know how to do no matter which gender that talent is associated with.
But, enough about me, what you are really here to see is the laundry room reveal! Before I give you the whole 5′ x 8′ tour, I want to show you how the Flow Wall cabinets and shelving are installed. Because you aren’t going to believe how easy it was.
The cabinets were shipped flat and need to be assembled, but there are detailed directions included. And if you’ve ever put together any flat packed furniture, this will be a breeze.
Each cabinet comes with four metal brackets that tilt into the Flow Wall. I inserted the hangers into the Flow Wall panel and gave them a skeptical glance.
Having just installed cabinets in my garage using a french cleat system, I wasn’t ready to trust those little metal brackets. I lifted the first cabinet (and was very relieved that I could lift them myself without assistance) and lined up the metal bar spanning the back of the cabinet over the brackets. The photo below shows the cabinet seated in the brackets and after I installed one shelf (which is hung after the cabinet is installed.)
Then I gently let the cabinet slide down until it was seated into the brackets. I might have yelled out “Suhweet!” Because — honestly — that was the easiest cabinet installation I had ever attempted. Plus, they seem solid and held up to my test of pulling on them!
I saved the best part, they are totally repositionable! Slide them side-to-side. Or remove them and move the brackets. No screws, no nails, they are easily reconfigured.
By sliding the one cabinet flush against the wall, I had room to install a twin next to the first.
The doors are attached with a hidden hinge. The white coated doors are hard and glossy, which means they should be a snap to wipe clean!
After the doors were installed, I simply added the two handles. Again, everything was super easy and the directions were easy to follow.
And the shelves? Easy peasy! Simply slip the top of the mounting bracket in and then lower the shelf until it snaps into the bottom ridge.
The wire shelves can be removed and re-installed infinite number of times. This allows for customizable storage on the fly.
Like the shelving, these translucent storage bins simply slip into the grooves to hold supplies you reach for on a regular basis.
Here is my laundry room Flow Wall in all its nakedness. Shhh, don’t tell Flow Wall that I shared naked photos of their products online.
You can look back, I’m sorry you had to avert your eyes. Here they are loaded up with my somewhat excessive collection of vases.
The other cabinet has room for all our beach towels and workout “stuff”.
There is enough open storage for everything I need to grab while doing laundry. And yet, it is conveniently hidden in the Flow Wall décor bins.
Speaking of the décor bins, check out this cute little storage cube that turns the bins into drawers.
The bins also come in a jumbo size which is perfect for hiding all my DIY Laundry Detergent supplies!
The Flow Wall shelves are coated so they make an excellent drying rack for rags waiting to be laundered.
More storage than you can shake a stick at.
I really love that the smart tile adhesive tiles work with the new wall color.
Two of my favorite additions to the room are the sunny yellow chandelier…
…and this sign I bought at Carolina Pottery (my new favorite discount decor spot.)
I had some leftover pieces of Flow Wall panels that I installed on a short section of wall.
Just enough room to hold cleaning and dusting supplies.
The valance is still just the loose fabric draped over the rod. But, hopefully one day soon I’m going to make it a faux roman shade.
Okay, just one more look at my new laundry room wall. Do you remember the before?
And now the ahhhh-after:
Can you believe it is the same room? Yeah, me either. I absolutely adore the Flow Wall System and I’m thanking my lucky stars that they offered to send me their products to try.
Disclosure: The giveaway was a sponsored event. I have been compensated for my time and received the Flow Wall System compliments of Flow Wall. However, the ideas and words are all my own. I was not told what to write. I believe you have the right to know when a post is sponsored. Regardless of whether a post is sponsored or not, I believe in honesty, truthfulness, and complete transparency in my posts.

So cute! Your new laundry room would ALMOST make laundry fun!
I love the Storage Cubes; they’re so functional and attractive.
I’m digging the shelf and bin set! I have lots of misc. small items that bins work best for.
I want this so bad…. We are taking a room that’s too small for anything and making it a laundry room (to get my washer and dryer OUT. of. my. KITCHEN.) and sewing/craft room for me. It will also serve as pantry storage and storage for my small appliances that aren’t used every day and my mason jars through the year until it’s time to make jam again.
I NEED this. NEED. LOL!
I would start with:
http://www.flowwall.com/storage/Products/Lifestyles/ModelNumber/FWS-4812-6WB14.html
And I have to say, I don’t think I would stop there!
Wow, this Flo wall system just blew my mind — you just turned my whole world upside down
I love the storage cabinets. Having everything behind closed doors really makes things look tidy
Um, I can’t pick one product! I want them all! Question: can I just do the flow wall system on a section of wall or does it have to go wall-to wall?
Yes, you can install them as wide or as tall as you like! They are awesomely customizable
.
The storage bins are so useful and I love the two drawer system. Sadly my raffle copter did not work
so I wasn’t able to enter all parts. I’d love to win however. My husband is drill disabled.
I love them ALL~ I want my new laundry room to look JUST. LIKE. YOURS!!!!!!! I like the storage bins, the adjustable shelves, the wire racks for hanging…… Oh my!! What’s not to luuurrrrrrrve! Eeeeekkkk!
Wow, this is incredible!! I love all of the organization!! Thanks for sharing at oopsey daisy!
That looks incredible! Great job
I wish my laundry room looked HALF as good. Entered twice. Fingers crossed lol
I love how easy it is to put together – especially the wire shelves!
I would love the system that you have used in your laundry room. It looks easy to install, you can vary the placement and when you’re done, it looks great. What more could I want?
wow, I just stumbled across your site. Love it and all the great, great ideas and tutorials! Thank you!
Wow, I love how the room turned out…it’s very bright and cheery (and super organized!).
This system would be perfect to organize a garage and I like that you can mix open shelves, cabinets. and bins!
You seriously amaze me! What a transformation!!
I love the whole Flow Wall System. What a great organization system. I’d love a chance to win it as I’m moving into a new house soon & it’d look great in the new laundry room. I also love your blog.
I would love the Heavy Duty Dual Bracket Hook
I love the garage shelving and garage cabinets and everything else I saw.
I can’t pick just one piece I like b/c I love them all!! I so need this for my laundry room
This is so sweet! The cabinets would come in so handy in our office as would some of the decor bins.
I’d like to add the tall wall cabinet to our home for extra pantry space.
I think the cabinets would be great to have!
I love all the products! Oh the things I could do with them – actually make more room for the 6 of us in a 3 bedroom house.
I love the clear bins that attach to the wall…so cool! This system would make my laundry room amazing!
I think all of the products are pretty amazing. They would work perfectly in my laundry room!
I like you on facebook … and I will be following you on pinterst within the next few minutes
I love the garage and hardware set, but I really just love them all. So clean and organized. Swoon!
I like the 24 sq ft Lawn and Garden Starter Set for my garage. I have my gardening stuff scattered all over the garage.
I follow on Pinterest as Angie Martinez
You did an amazing job on this project, Brittany. I have a small laundry room and could certainly make use of this. The “starter package” is ideal, but I really like those metal shelves. What a versatile product with endless combinations.
I follow you on FB and by e-mail subscription. I’m just getting into Pinterest.
I pinned your completed wall on Pinterest at http://pinterest.com/pin/277745501989370044/ and added a comment and link to the giveaway. Can’t wait to see what’s up next with you!
I like the Soft Storage Bin (6pk)

Your laundry room looks amazing…so clean and neat. The valance fabric is a great touch of whimsy. Also love your ironing board cover!
What color are the walls in your laundry room? Just put in white and grey cabinets and this color would be perfect. Thanks!
I would love to know what color your walls are too… I am having a hard time find the right color for a completely different room.
Thanks, Kim
The color I used was Tropical Surf by Glidden, but I had Benjamin Moore match the color
.
Just saw this. Thanks for the color.
Amazing I’m going to love your site!! Where did you get the fabric it is so super cute!
Love every detail! Do you know the name of the fabric you used? It’s gorgeous.
Danielle, it is called Waverly Pom Pom Spa. I got it here, but looks like it’s sold out: http://www.fabric.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=14fb3e76-4204-4c19-b8db-1e3c766378c4&CategoryID=2170fc07-92c6-4059-b731-7373285bca44
Love your laundry room. What was the paint color you chose to match the fabric?
