Laundry room reveal and Michigan found treasures

 

Last Weekend we took a ride on Saturday to a few of my Michigan Shops.  I love that we are only an hour to 2 hours from my shops.  We can take the beautiful ride along the lake up to Michigan in a day.

On this trip I found an old chippy mantel.  Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the mantel before Terry and his trustee tools took it apart to make two new pieces for the new place.
Yep,  I had a vision for this mantel.
So above you see it.  Top of the mantel is now a shelf in my kitchen on that wall where we took down cabinets for the laundry room.
It is chippy and fun to have in the kitchen.

Here is one of the two legs of the mantel.  I will show you soon what these are going to become.  Waiting on something to come I ordered.
 I am using  these to make new decor pieces.  Stay tuned!

Ok remember this buffet that we made into the tv stand.  Well........

It is now in the kitchen being used as a buffet!  The smaller buffet I had in here is now in my daughter's house.  It was musical buffets this past weekend lol!

Here is the new TV stand we found on our trip to Michigan.  Very primitive but somehow I knew I could make it work in my neutral cottage.

I knew it would look good with all the other neutral decor around it.
Now onto the laundry room.

I stepped out of my white and neutrals for this laundry room.  I found this peel and stick wallpaper on Amazon and thought it might work.
The beauty of peel and stick,  it is not expensive like traditional wallpaper and the commitment is not as strong.  If you do not like it or want a change you can peel it off the wall.  No scrapping or sanding.

It is hard to capture a room with no natural light or windows but this paper is bright and cheerful.  We all need cheerful when we do laundry!  
The CooCoo clock got hung in here.  My daughter brought that back from Germany for me.

The ugly fire door to the garage from the laundry room got a new coat of paint.  All the brown dated trim painted to white.  It is busy paper but it makes this laundry room a happy place.

It is still a work in progress.  With only being here 5 weeks we have done so much.  Now I need some time to figure out decor etc.  That is going to take some time to decorate walls etc.
At least all the painting and big jobs are done.

Tomorrow is going to feel like Christmas to me.  My counters tops are being installed.  Yay!!!  Gosh I hope with all this hassle and waiting they will look fabulous.  I can't go there in my head!  I am telling myself they will be beautiful.
My friend and fellow blog friend Diana from Nana Diana told me she had Home Depot do her kitchen counters and out of all the houses she has done this in her kitchens she said the Home Depot counter tops were the nicest.
Keeping that thought and my fingers crossed.

The bathroom vanity top and the kitchen counter tops and new sink will go in tomorrow.

 Then on Friday they will come back and laser measure for the back splash and then install those next week.
Then the big projects will be done.  I will have my bathroom done and my kitchen complete.
I am very excited.
Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and Happy New Week ahead.
Hugs,
