DIY Organization Ideas for Small Laundry Rooms

Do you hate doing laundry?  Is your laundry room a mess most of the time?  Do you have a laundry closet and find yourself wondering what you can do to make it look better and be more efficient?  Well you can have an organized and beautiful laundry room and maybe, just maybe, enjoy doing laundry again.  I put together some pictures that just might give you some ideas of what to do with yours. 

Stack your washer & dryer and add storage cabinets.
