The Decorated Laundry Room

I got some inspiration from some pictures to do a little decorating in my laundry room. Why not? You go in there every once in awhile right? This is what mine usually looks like. See my lime green cleaning caddy? I just purchased that for $1.50 at Wal-Mart near the automotive department and it is wonderful. It has a handle (my Flylady feather duster is hiding it), which makes it convenient to carry from room to room.



Here are my inspiration photos that got me all excited about making some laundry changes. All her cute, green fabric is camouflaging shelving with supplies. The green fabric on bottom is also camo-ing some pipes and stuff.


I know, every time I re-look at these I freak out again too. Sheer Genius. Laundry Room-Drop Your Pants Here-if that doesn't get you excited about doing your 31 loads for the week I don't know what will...



Seriously, how cheerful and fun is that? I'll be prowling around yard sales and such to find some cute things to Cheer Up my laundry room. 'Till then, I rummaged through my garage (a.k.a. sometimes we'll be out playing and a car will slow to do a drive by and I think-folks, this is not the house having the yard sale-it's down the street). Anyhoo, I shopped my garage and found a couple things to play around with.






Cut some fabric and rubber banded it under the lid to hide the Coke part. What a fun idea to put the Tide in a canister.



I'm so excited. My ultimate dream is to paint the walls Dockside Blue (Sherwin Williams) and paint the cabinets white. Blue and white look so clean and fresh in a laundry room. But for now, this is more fun than the cleaning supplies and Tide box.




I think we should all load up and celebrate this fun with Route 44 Vanilla Dr. Pepper's? Yes?

No way... I wanted to paint my laundry room blue with white cabinets! Just wouldn't go with the kitchen very well, so I kind of gave up the idea. Unless we repaint the kitchen... hmm...

Looks super cute. I can't believe you made a laundry room look like that.

SO cute... I really don't have a laundry ROOM... it's more like two folding doors that hold my washer and dryer and it's ALL full with shelves storing EVERYTHING!!! wish mine looked like that!!
