Updates to our laundry room (also the entry from our garage) are underway. My husband handled most of the painting. I worked on building some shelves to replace wire racks. I used some plywood cutoffs that I edged on the front with poplar. Screwed in some cleats to hold the shelves.

Old setup

New status - nothing on shelves yet due to wet paint!

Still need to build some coat hangers and possibly a new "box" to replace the pine one (one of my first woodworking projects!) that holds our dog's food bin plus shoe storage.

Nice clean look!

Nice work on the shelves, I'm not a fan of the wire ones. Painting definitely brightened it up.

Most definitely!

New hooks installed. These are 3D prints from PETG which is a strong filament. I added a couple extra hooks. Unfortunately spacing is somewhat determined by the desire to cover the screws used to hang the board so extra space at the center. I also made a couple mistakes with my measurements (balancing on the dog food holder box to reach this is my excuse...not likely a real factor🙄). Sigh...

Other hooks are behind the door. Those are 3D prints with PLA filament, also mounted on walnut.

Don't point out the spacing, people will think you planned it that way 🤣 nice work, looks good to me.

Considering making a little 3D print of a dog paw for the center "gap." Although the picture angle makes the others look off, those actually are evenly spaced. Or, realize once the first coat is hung, none of it matters!!
