I showed you the new linen closet in a previous post, now I would like to show some more changes in the laundry room. This drawered unit was a piece that we inherited with the house. The owner/builder of our home had an office in the back yard (now my studio) where he could work from home...he was a contractor.
|
 |
| As you can see, it was in pretty bad shape...but I had a vision! |
 |
| I though it would be perfect to store my doilies, place mats, napkin rings, etc.... |
 |
| H gave it a fresh coat of paint and I added some numbers.. These are the neatest chalk board decals! Last year, I won a $30 gift certificate from Angie at Knick of Time to a company called Chalk it Up. So, I ordered a sheet of different sizes of decals...I had been waiting for just the right project to use them on and here it is! |
 |
| I added some fabric and a yoyo that I made to the top... |
 |
| I have all the doilies sorted by color... |
 |
| French numbers....As you can see, the sun just floods into the laundry room. |
 |
| I have my collection of vintage aprons stored in this dirty clothes hamper... |
 |
| And, I have some vintage bank bags in this wire basket.. |
 |
| The wire baskets that I decorated are from HL, ...50% OFF. |
 |
| Here is the before photo....and here is the... |
 |
| after! |
 |
I have a very strict Laundry Schedule that fits me perfect! I would rather be decorating than cleaniing! I still have a couple of area's to show you that have changed in the laundry room, so, I'll be back!

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful transformation!
ReplyDeletePenny, this is gorgeous!! And so creative--and your laundry sign gave me a good chuckle :) Hope you had a great V-Day!
ReplyDeleteYou have a knack for making messy look chic!!
ReplyDeleteHi Penny!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love your before and after! What fun place to what can always seem like a chore!! Love that multi drawer chest you have with the pretties all hanging out! Great Job!
Be Blessed,
Lorena
Penny-I love your cabinet re-do. I have 2 apothocary cabinets full of music but now I have another idea for them. Such a pretty space now-you always do such a beatiful job.
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend
Penny!! I am so envious that you have a laundry room in the first place and that it looks just darling!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that chest with the drawers.... Really cute and love the chalk board stickers!!
Your collection of vintage linens is amazing!! Now did you once tell me that this home was your Mom's home or am I mistaken?
You are having way too much fun, my friend!!
Hugs,
Deb
Love, love and love your laundry room! When you want a change for your chalkboard, I have an idea that I'm using in mine: Laundry today or naked tomorrow!
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteYour laundry room came out so cute. I love the old cabinet and drawers. So cute.
Kris
Dear Penny, also your laundry room is dreaming...you style is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteKisses

That is SUCH a sweet laundry room, Penny....just darling- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteI think your laundry area looks very nice. You are very organized and that's a good trait to have. Susan
ReplyDeleteYou have the prettiest laundry room!Oh I LOVE your cabinet too!What a great idea to make chalk labels!

Anne
That pretty laundry room should make doing laundry more enjoyable ... maybe even make ironing bearable. I don't like to iron either.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

LOL on the chalk board laundry sign! But what an awesome laundry room! I love it that you have a desk in there and a window, oh and storage space! I love it!

It's so beautiful, I would want to stay in there all day and do laundry... I am one of those ladies who actually loves doing household chores... even ironing... it calms and relaxes me... okay, I know alot of you will think I am nuts... but there is sort of a gentle rhythm in doing these things, stopping for a cup of tea in between, then seeing everything all nice and clean... love your garland above your window especially!... xoxo Julie Marie PS just wonderin' where those empty bank bags came from???... tee hee hee... you haven't been up to something naughty have you?...
ReplyDeleteHi Penny, What a wonderful laundry. Who wouldn't want to stay in there and do the wash. Love your cabinet. Perfect for lace and linens and I love the numbers. The chaulk board is too cute. I love to iron though. I know that is crazy, but I have always enjoyed it. Loved seeing your redo.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend.
hugs, Celestina Marie
Hi Penny....nice fresh re-do, enjoy your room1
ReplyDeleteHi Penny,lovely as always,you have a nack for making things pretty but H does all the painting i have to do it all lol you are lucky to have him.Looking forward to what you do next ! Hugs Peggy
ReplyDeleteOoooh, that lightened and brightened the room lovely! You really have the talent for putting things together so beautifully. I love using a clothes hamper for storage, I never would have thought of that! I have a HUGE ugly laundry room in the basement. It's a finished room, but really needs a lot of attention. Everyone has to strive for something...that's my something I guess!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Pendra
Penny, this is one beautiful laundry room! Your shelves look fantastic! I love the decals. Are of your dollies and linens are dreamy!
ReplyDeleteKaren
Hi Penny,
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with your laundry room! Working in a room like that would be fun!
Your chalkboard was too funny! LOL
Hugs,
LaDonna
Your laundry room is so pretty, I would love to have it. My laundry room is down in the dungeon with lower ceilings. I don't think I would want to leave!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space to do laundry!
ReplyDeleteHi Penny!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright laundry room with your laundry schedule!!
It's so made for me LOL!!
I love the basket on the hamper. It's so pretty!!

oh so lovely! The drawer unit is perfect for the room and storing your frilly items. Such a happy place for a dirty chore ;)
ReplyDeleteI just have to write that my laundry room has never received that much attention! Good for you - love that sign about the laundry. It describes my attitude perfectly!! Thanks for sharing - your did a beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration. Our laundry area is in the garage so I am limited. I finally decided to start it gradually. I like your little drawers. I think I might be able to do something similar.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Sunday
I would do laundry much more often if I had such a beautiful laundry room! Love it! Thanks so much for sharing this on The Creative HomeAcre Hop!
ReplyDeleteLove the sign especially :)
So, so cute Penny! Love the French numbers.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Your laundry room is so cute! I love the decor. All the pretty flowers and the cute chalk board. The ironing part had my laughing, I feel the same about ironing. Great post, have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing laundry room. Looks Downton Abbey inspiration with those beautiful Victorian inspirations.
ReplyDeleteKaren
I just love your laundry room. Mine's in the dungeon. Hope that you don't mind that I pinned this to my "Laundry Room Dreams" Pinterest file.
ReplyDeleteI do my laundry in the basement here...I am thinking that I should PRINT OUT A PICTURE OF YOURS and just HANG IT DOWN THERE LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fashionable laundry room. I am envious as I do mine in a section of unfinished basement.
ReplyDeleteLove it!! So bright and pretty and a place for all your lovely linens. Laundry must be so much more fun now!! :D Popped over from Under the Table & Dreaming.
ReplyDeleteWow, your laundry room is awesome! I love your cabinet and the chalkboard. Lots of inspiration here. Thank you so much for sharing at A Bouquet of Talent!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful week!!

I think I'd be finding excuses to do laundry! "Oh honey, you've got ring around the collar"...slight ripping sound as you tear it off his back..."I'll be in the laundry room!"
ReplyDeleteSeriously, I'm in love with your drawers (no pun intended), and I laughed out loud at your chalkboard sign.
hugs,
Deborah
That is the cutest, most vintage laundry room I've ever seen. I know a friend who would love to have a room like this! I'd love to have you link this to Titus 2 Tuesday this week on Cornerstone Confessions.. I hope to see you there.
ReplyDeleteKathy

Really beautiful, feminine space.
ReplyDeleteI own that washer and dryer, but my space is nothing like yours. Mine is a utility room and it looks like one. But oh, I really like what you did with the space at your house.
ReplyDeleteAs much time as we spend in a laundry room, there is every reason for it to be a room with character and charm. You've done it right.
ReplyDeleteYou are so awesome! I love how you make every room ~ even the laundry room ~ so pretty and special.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up to Project Inspire{d}.
Have a lovely week, hugs, Mary Beth
Such cute drawers.
ReplyDeleteLovely to have you at Seasonal Sundays.

ReplyDeleteI have the same schedule! Your laundry is like a fairy tale.
ReplyDeleteWow, it's wonderfully cheerful now. Hahahaha at that laundry schedule, too.

Wow. Beautiful, Penny.
ReplyDeletePrettiest laundry room I EVER did see. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteYour laundry room is so fun and that is such a great piece. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely Penny! I wish I had that much room in my laundry room. Thanx for coming to the party!
ReplyDeleteEven your laundry room looks romantic! I love the chalk labels, and the delicate lace and doilies are just, so so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteReally like your laundry schedule! It's a lot like mine!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do laundry in this room! Your schedule made me laugh - how cute! I love that drawered chest too. What a fabulous piece to have. Bee-you-ti-ful!
ReplyDelete:o)
Cecilia
Fabulous! You could actually have fun doing laundry in a room like that! I adore that multi-drawer unit!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and I love the drawers! Thanks for sharing at The Gunny Sack!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty laundry room! And way to go with using what you had to make it even more functional and pretty (what a concept, drawers for doilies). You have a good eye and beautiful taste...I enjoyed this. Lynaea @ EverydayBloom.com
ReplyDeletePenny you've done a marvelous job on that laundry room. I get so much inspiration looking at all you've accomplished...and I get tired just thinking of trying to do some of it here! I love your ideas. I may have to rethink my laces and get them sorted somehow so I can at least see what I"ve got! Wish I had a nice big drawer system like that!! At least my hubby knows that my passion for pretties makes me work on the house at various and odd times!! So excited about your space!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Doni
Such a beautiful space you have created! So glad you shared at last weekends link party @The Weekend re-Treat!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you link up again this week!
Penny I am featuring your laundry room this week. It is the prettiest darn thing I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteYour laundry room is so quaint! Someone else said "darling"; I so agree, I never thought I'd say this but your laundry room looks like somewhere I'd like to relax with a cup of tea! love it
ReplyDeleteHow darling is your laundry space. I love the romantic cottage feel. Thanks for sharing at the Cabin:)
ReplyDeleteSooo gorgeous!! Love your laundry room. The Laundry sign is the best - I don't iron at all... Thanks for linking up at Romance on a dime!!
ReplyDeleteLove your re-decorated laundry room. The sign is my favorite! But where did that fabulous wringer and tub go??? Not far I hope, it is just amazing! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Patti
Penny, lovely laundry room - I don't have a room, I have a spot, as in, stand in one place and turn around. Love the desk area!
ReplyDeleteOh Penny! I would love doing laundry in this room. What a wonderful multi-drawer piece. I love the little chalkboard labels. The baskets with your doilies are a lovely touch especially with the crochet flowers. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Peggy
So cute! I love your laundry room - it is so sweet!

ReplyDeleteOh I came upon your blog and went to follow and I already am a follower here. I love your vintage laundry room so very much. We have lots in common! Come say hi
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you for some good ideas. My laundry room is part of my garage, but I have a work bench and I can see me doing something with the drawers. Spring break begins tomorrow and I think I know just what I will be doing.
