Although the US-based homeowner got her wooden stamp from Hobby Lobby, you can pick up similar style ones from The Range.
On her @bayleewhiteasheck account, she showed how she used a piece of cardboard to ensure the prints were spaced apart evenly.
Two hours of stamping later, and her laundry room had gone from plain white to being covered in the gorgeous floral print.
Baylee said: 'You know what? It worked out for me.'
And she wasn't done yet.
She added that she then added a hanging basket to the wall, along with some artwork a friend had made her.
Showing off the finished result, she added: 'And that's my perfect, precious, gorgeous, beautiful cottage laundry room makeover for three dollars and fifty cents.
'Feeling absolutely unstoppable after finishing this project in two hours after putting my baby down.
'Maybe I'll like doing laundry now.'
Many people will be hugely impressed with the DIY tip, which has racked up over 50,000 likes.
I live in a council house with no storage & made a dream dressing table for £21… it's great for those with limited space
One person commented: 'A tutorial I could actually follow and afford?!'
Another added: 'I fear I must go do this now.'
And a third wrote: 'I'm flabbergasted by how smart and easy this is.'

However, when she peeled back the stencil, she was not impressed with what she had done

However, DIY doesn't always go according to plan, as one woman showed.
TikTok user @lifeatthelma showed how she had picked out a gorgeous sage green paint and had then taped a decorative stencil to the wall.
She thought everything had gone swimmingly, until she peeled back the stencil to reveal her hard work.
To her horror, the paint had spread until the stencil and it looked messy and not like the design she had wanted.
After she pulled off a larger section, she joked: 'But do we think it is giving cottage core (the goal) or chain link fence?'
