I keep playing in my new laundry space - even though it's mostly upside down with all the clutter from the bathroom reno. Whenever I can't bring myself to work on the bathroom, I procrastinate by making something pretty for one of the other spaces.
So with Shirley at Housepitality Designs goading me on in my aqua-fest, I pulled out that can of paint again :).
I had just picked up a cute little turquoise lantern at the grocery store for $5, and decided to hang it from my hat rack. That decided me to paint the countertop to match... and then the barstools that I am going to use for my crafting/breakfast/bar table when I get it built. Soooo cute!! I love it. Here are the photos:
I had an old plastic clock from Century 21 that I pulled apart and refaced with a printable from White Life blog. I painted the black plastic frame the same white as the legs of my barstools.
How's THAT for a laundry tub?? I can't wait to use it!

I had to touch up the paint on the turquoise rose chalkboard I won because I could never see what I was writing with the two different colours of paint on it. So I painted it to match the counter top. It seems you can write with chalk on any paint surface...

and the counter is deep enough for me to store both the barstools, nicely tucked out of the way. Pretty soon now I'll be finishing the bathroom and tidying everything up. So glad this project is almost finished.
Have a happy and creative week!

Hi Anne,
ReplyDeleteThe laundry room is looking great! I love the colors that you've used, because I ADORE aqua, as you probably know.
But also, because you have incorporated some very pretty touches. The stools are very sweet in their new paint color, as well as that fabulous sink! Where did you find that? It looks like a scrub board on one side, what a smart addition to a sink.
Have a beautiful day,
Hugs, Cindy
I too would like to know where you got that laundry sink? It's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteA great space. You should put off your bathroom reno indefinitely, and every other room will be complete before you know it :)
Anne, you are so good at getting projects done, you are really inspiring me. I love the colours that you have going on here. Great job as always.
ReplyDeleteAnne this is lovely! Good job once again!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!

Love the laundry room. I don't have a laundry room, mine are located in the cellar and it's not pretty or nice but at least I have a washer and dryer. But if I had your laundry room, I'd be happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to the All Star Block Party.

The Cinderella of a laundry room is definitely ready to go to the ball. I am certain I can see glass slippers sparkling on the counter. Virginia
