Shabby French Laundry Room

I decided this morning that it was time to freshen up the laundry room.   We did a mini make over in February 2013 and I haven't changed anything since then...that doesn't sound like me does it...lol!

The first thing to do was some DEEP cleaning.....how did my laundry room get so dirty?

I do my hair and make up at the desk in the laundry room so all the silk flowers were covered in hair spray and needed a good soak in the kitchen sink!
I use the white cabinet to store doilies and place mats

I took down the chalkboard that was hanging over the wicker hamper and replaced it with a picture that I found at HL  in the 90% off isle the other day.  

I added some silk flowers to the wire basket that was on the hamper.    The black and pink apron that you can see on the top of the basket found a new home on a french hook by the new picture..

The chalkboard found a new home over the washer and dryer.   Normally I wouldn't hang anything over my cabinets but I am very seldom in these that are over the washer since  I have to get a ladder to reach them and it's just too much trouble....lol!

I cleared everything off the desk and scrubbed  off all that hairspray!  

I put together a French vignette in the left corner of the desk.

H had painted the mirror white and I hot glued a fabric rose that I had made to the corner,.

Here is the before and after photo.    

I added two new lamps to the top of the desk for some additional lighting.

The wall of white cabinets on the right of the laundry room are used to store.....

lots of my linens.

A fresh bouquet from the garden is on the other end of the desk.

The roses aren't blooming as much as they were....

but,  the wildflower garden is in full bloom.

The final touch to my laundry room was this cute sign!    H doesn't think it's funny....what's with that???
