After: (yay!)
Before: (hot mess)
Took down the old shelves and painted it a light blue/gray...
Thank goodness my husband is handy and can put up this shelving (it came white which saved us a step)...
Scrapbook paper I turned into a stencil - The Rodden Family used wrapping paper, which I might go back and try. It's the holiday's y'all and I'm tired... one thing at a time!
The after - very subtle...
The mess my paper stencil made...
The hard work and mess on my hands! Don't wear your wedding rings while painting! I'm a dummy! (and yes those are my real nails, they do grow ridiculously fast)
YAY! I love that I can have Granny's silver out to see and the other girly things my husband doesn't want out!
Linky Parties! Check them out! :)

It looks very pretty! Anything to make the chore of laundry nicer- I hate laundry! We bought a new washer/dryer and I was thrilled for about a week, then it went back to being a chore. I'd love to make my laundry room bright and organized like this one day. (I'm following you now and looking forward to reading more- visited from Debbies : )
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know that I featured this today from Monday's party :)

I'm so glad you stopped by and linked up your beautiful laundry room to the party. Hope to see you again next week.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting from DIY by Design. LOVE what you've done!!! My laundry room is on my to do list. I love the double shelves. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteLooks fantastice. I need to work on my laundry room. Thanks for sharing a great project. Karie
ReplyDeletegreat project! you are one of the luckier girl who always have their nail grow faster than the other girls ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your laundry room makeover. I wish I could be inspired to make mine over. Yours looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat is too pretty to be a laundry room. I love it. My teeny, tiny laundry room could use a lot of help. I have front loaders and they are so big, they take up the entire space. I can barely reach into the cabinets above them. This gives me a couple ideas to make a couple changes. Great job.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation. It is the perfect place to display your pretty silver.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to the Roomspiration party.
