| Welcome to our new laundry room! H has been busy painting for weeks....over 5 gallons to date! He has painted the display cases in the hallway, the laundry room, and is now painting in the kitchen! |
 |
| I hung this vintage laundry bag on the door. It is monogrammed and has three pockets. |
 |
| I am using the pockets to store vintage hankies! |
 | ||
| I needed a door stop and this is what I came up with! A bowl of white buttons! |
 |
| Here is the before picture...what a difference some white paint can make! |
 |
| I took all of the candles, cleaning supplies and general junk out (you'll see where they went later!) |
 |
| And now the shelves are full of all our linens! I had no idea that I had so many until I started gathering them up from they were stashed! They were all over the house...I need to get organized! |
 |
| I have all my beautiful pillow cases all together... |
 |
| I sorted them by color.... |
 |
| These are some gorgeous pillow cases that belonged to my mother. |
 |
| I have all my table runners , table cloths, sheets, doilies...everything is in the laundry room! |
 |
| I even had room for a little lace. |
 |
| Sheets....I wish my sheet folding skills were better!! |
 |
| I found Easter tablecloths.... |
 |
 |
| Here's a sewing machine if I need to repair any linens! It doesn't work...that's okay..I don't sew! LOL |
 |
| And I have plenty of vintage irons if anything is wrinkled! They don't work..but that's okay...I don't iron! |
 |
| Doilies in a cloche! |
 |
| I can't wait to show you the rest of the laundry room...be back later! http://www.craftyscrappyhappy.net/ http://www.myrepurposedlife.net/ http://www.craftsalamode.com/2013/02/welcome-to-what-to-do-weekends-party.html http://www.jenniferrizzo.com/2013/02/fabulousy-creative-friday-linky-party.html http://whipperberry.com/2013/02/friday-flair-link-party-smore-eclair-edition.html http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/2013/02/show-us-your-life-organization-tips.htmlhttp://www.craftyscrappyhappy.net/2013/02/paint-it-project-link-party.html http://twelveoeight.blogspot.com/2013/02/pretty-things-party-8-is-live.html http://www.creationsbykara.com/2013/02/look-what-i-made-link-party-2-20-2013.html http://www.theshabbycreekcottage.com/2013/02/transformation-thursday-no-192.html http://orgjunkie.com/ |

ReplyDeleteI love love love your laundry room - all I have is a corner of the garage and that's where EVERYTHING
ReplyDeletegets stored as here in sunny CA we have no basements or attic's to store anything. MY garage is a one BIG MESS even when I clean and organize.
Your linens are to die for - they are beautiful! Have a small linen closet in the hall. Enjoy yours.

ReplyDeleteHi Penny!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the laundry room!!!
I love the sewing machine and irons that don't work. When you
said they don't work, but, it's ok because you don't sew and iron...
It killed me. You're a lovely person Penny!!!
I always find white paint makes a room bright and cheery. It looks
great!!
Have a great weekend Penny!!
