Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

A while back, I showed  you my painted cabinets in the laundry room.

I have been working on the rest of the room on and off since then. I painted some of the walls, but took a break before finishing the rest. In the meantime, I have  had ideas percolating in my head about how I wanted the room to look when I was done.

I spend a LOT of time in there, so I knew I wanted it to be pretty and also peaceful. I chose Sherwin Williams' "Watery" for the walls, which is the same color I have in my kitchen. It reminds me of the ocean, so that meets both requirements--pretty AND peaceful.

I finished it this morning and I love it!

 I found this cute sign at Kirkland's on clearance for $8.

The basket holds lonely socks looking for a mate. The little red tray holds my laundry supplies.
Both from Hobby Lobby. 50% off. :)

The bird painting was done by Marianthe Snyder. She does amazing paintings. I can give you her contact information if you want one like it. The little yellow vase on the shelf was a gift from my good friend, Michele. She got it at Soul Supply and Hardware in Leavenworth. The flour sifter was my grandmother's. The flowers in it came from Picket Fences and Petals in Leavenworth. The lantern in the corner was a gift from my mom and dad. It came from Hill Hardware in Columbia, MS. I think my mom gave me that little sign for Christmas. I don't know where she got it.

Curtain from Walmart. $7.
Flower from the PX on clearance.
Shelf from TJ Maxx. Cheap.

I may actually start to enjoy doing laundry. At least I will enjoy the room in which I do that chore. I think this room is a win-win.

I'm going to visit my parents next week. When I get back, kitchen re-do project begins. Yay!
