Little and kinda funky laundry re-do…

…But first

a word from our sponsor

that would be me

I%20HATE%20LAUNDRY%20ROOMS

No…I didn’t do this, nor is it in our laundry room

But Ohhhh if it were.

I tackled what I thought would be an easy peasy spiff up to our laundryroom/back door.

I had the wood {ish} flooring waiting for awhile in the garage.

I used mexican tile on the counters. That was once many moons ago going to go in the kitchen.

I found a cabinet in the as is dept at IKEA for 50 clams

…and so I started…

and here is where I end up…

I painted the side of the cabinet in blackboard paint…to the left is the door

to the garage. In case you really care.

Added shelves attached from the cabinet to the wall…to create more storage and somewhat of a nook

for the washer and dryer. When that dryer dies and goes to dryer Heaven which it will...soon.

we'll get the dryer brother to the washer...then build a counter on top...and maybe even doors or a skirt...or neither. keepin' ya on your toes.



Inside the 50 clam cabinet…

important stuff. Toilet paper and rubber gloves?

don’t ask.

Even found a good place for my house numbers I brought back from Argentina…

i was on a roll…

Then…inspired by our old madge coathangers

I decided to dabble in a little bit of an orangey red. Mai Tai by Ralph Lauren Paints

I was told I shouldn’t….

But I did

smack dab on the new door from

Home Depot….40 clams….run to your nearest…see if they are still

there!

the doors were 369 if special ordered….they had tons for 40 buckaroos.

yeppers.

added a couple of cute barn lights.

I needed help with one….but

installed the ceiling light

and the house is still standing. Can I have an Amen!

Oh…rug was a 5 buck steal at IKEA…won’t last forever

but am loving the punch of color!

Um. The mosaic is what happens when you don’t measure your tile correctly

and you like to fly by the seat of your pants

and then you find an old rusted metal bird in the garage

and you just stuff him in too.

because.



IMG_4773

yeah, yeah…need to re-paint the cabinets and maybe change out the knobs

and…

**I need to go round up some befores...then you might be a teeeensy bit impressed. At least I was. Teensily.
