laundry closet project

I can't really call this my laundry "room" because it's just a closet. But if monsters live in closets this closet had one. You need a "before" picture to really appreciate how it looks now (oh, well). I purchased the baskets at the Dollar Tree for a buck each and put in the top shelf you see there and some hooks for hanging. Overall, I'm pretty pleased. Laundry doesn't scare me anymore.

Notice the color of the room as this plays into the whole decor thing, and vote for your favorite color/picture or suggest something all your own. I need help!

And this is just a great picture:

I've also played with the idea of doing the trim in a contrasting color. Good idea? Bad idea? (The post is continued here.)
