Our laundry room was the perfect place to try a shiplap wall. The walls were not perfect from removing wallpaper, so I didn’t feel too bad about covering up perfectly good drywall.

Since I wanted to do this project myself, without hiring a pro, my options were more limited with the shiplap application. I don’t have or know how to operate a saw and don’t feel comfortable nailing boards correctly onto the wall, so got creative.

We used peel-and-stick vinyl tile to create faux shiplap and it couldn’t have been easier! You can read all about the process in this post.

I wanted to paint the shiplap wall black (also complementing our black and white kitchen cabinets), and chose Sherwin Williams Black Magic. I love it pops and how real the shiplap looks under the black paint.

I bought some black wrought iron shelf brackets at Hobby Lobby to mount to the wall behind the washer and dryer. They will hold a 12″ board, so they should provide better storage for all my laundry items.

I love my huge framed wipe-off board on the black wall. It has a nice contrast against the black shiplap wall and it helps me stay organized by keeping everything in one place. I rehung all our baskets and storage items on the walls. We use white coat hooks for storage of jackets and shoes behind the door.

I did spray paint our hanging wall baskets gold, along with my W A S H letters on the wall. I liked how it kept things cohesive and the gold is such a fun accent.

For the rest of the wall art, I just pulled things from my personal collection, that fit the color scheme. And, of course, I fit in a couple cactus prints, since I am crazy for them.
