I've been working for the last month or so redoing our laundry room and reworking how it functions.  I'm not quite finished yet, but I'm in the home stretch.  Here are a few pictures of the bench I built with only 2 X 4's and left over paint.  It was super simple too.  I purchased the baskets for our shoes at Garden City.
The bulletin board we already owned and I spray painted it black and then added the cloth on the cork. I'm still working on adding the push pins around the edges.
The key board has a hook for each of us with our picture above our set of keys. This was a lot of fun to make. It's made from a scrap 1x6, hooks and picture frames.
I'll post more pics in a few days.
