Laundry Room

 I have gotten so many emails asking about my laundry room. You know Laundry is like death and taxes it is going to happen so why not have a space that is pleasant to do laundry in.  That is my feeling anyway.  So I thought I would update you with some newer pictures of my laundry room so you can see the changes.  Thanks for all your interest in my laundry room.

Here is one of the laundry room off my kitchen. I love this room to do laundry in it is bright and sunny with  a big window.

My husband made this cabinet over the washer and dryer for me and used old vintage washboards for cabinet doors. Lot's of storage.

I took an old sewing spool and added an old crystal door knob to the end and hung my old vintage laundry hangers on it.  My friend had given me this old magnetic wash board for my birthday.

I got the corner coat hanger post from my trip last year to Junk Bonanza .  Of course I have an old chippy door you know me and my love of old chippy doors in the decor!!!! I hung an old wire basket for storage.

My new folding table that the hubby built for me and then I added the skirt.  I do not sew so I was thrilled when I could use these drape panels for a skirt.

This door hides my ugly water heater and provides some storage.

Another easy window treatment for those of you like me that cannot sew!!! I took burlap and just played with it and bunched it at the corners and used a staple gun!!! Yep a staple gun.  The little valance underneath is one I got at Bed Bath and Beyond and I added an old lace scarf to it.  Then I had some flower brooches that I added to the corners of the burlap.  So see you can do cute window treatments and not know how to sew!!!!

Old vintage ironing board I got at the flea market for $20.  I love that it still has the directions on how to use the ironing board still on it.

This was the light fixture I bought at Lowe's.  It was all black and I painted it cream and then added the light burlap and flowers to the jars.  I love that this light fixture came like this and it can also fit the vintage Ball jars.

I found the burlap covers and flowers on Etsy and just hot glue gunned them to the jars. I am collecting old Ball jars to swap these out eventually.  These were just plain jars they had on the light fixture and I embellished them with the burlap and flowers.  I love the fact that the old Mason and Ball jars can fit this fixture. So I am collecting really unique ones to eventually replace these.

I added old vintage and newer baskets to the walls and put in my old vintage pillows made out of old pillow cases inside for some soft bling to the walls.

I got this old wash bucket ringer awhile back at a flea market and just love it up on the shelf.

My newest addition to the laundry room is this old vintage door that I replaced the window with chalk board.  My husband and his talents made this old chippy door work in this space.  Ohhhhh I just love the vintage feel of this old door.

Now I can add whimsy to the laundry room too!!!
