What in the world can you do with a small laundry room that is a passage way from the garage to the hall?! I am trying to get it to look "unlaundry." I've put some of the laundry stuff into a pink-painted wicker basket and hung one picture over the washer. But I need to do some more decorating. I've had some old redwood from the house we moved from 2 years ago. It is truly vintage redwood. It came from the fascia board and is all "rugged/ragged" looking but I love those kind of things. Imperfection is a sign of humility. I had to paint it 7 times to get the paint to stick. And I am the one that tells friends to always prime before painting. Do I not listen to myself?!?! And I love the way I got the ink on the decoupage lettering to smear more and give it that vintage look. Some of the "vintageness" does show through the white paint also. Cute.

Now there's a thought!! Seriously, I was thinking about it, but that wood is truly "chippy, distressed" and not sure if they would sell. But I might!! Thanks, sweet lady. Connie
ReplyDeleteConnie, that is so cute! I just love it! Oh you should see my laundry room...it is so ugly...definatly on my to do list to make it look pretty. A girl should be able to look at something pretty while doing that dreaded laundry, right?
