Laundry Room FRESHENING

who would have known that such little things could make such a big difference in the

Feel

of a apace?

We have a little tiny laundry room that also serves as an extra bathroom and our utility room (all the UGLY mechanicals are in here)

all

in a tiny

space

so

I had to get creative in making the ugly mechanicals disappear and highlight the stuff we like and wanted to bring out

Here is our before

ok – y’all feelin my pain?
like I said U.G.L.Y.

 

I’ve screened off the mechanicals with the addition of hung drop clothes (that coincidentally were the perfect length (hmmm was that meant to be or what?)

and I made

get this…

a new skirt for the laundry tub

BEFORE

AFTER

let’s do that again

BEFORE

AFTER

I still can’t believe that I MADE THAT!

remember I don’t actually know how to sew

I’m really just making it up as a go along but I think I’m getting my feet underneath me a bit in the sewing department
little by little.

ahhh I LOVE this little skirt addition!

 

on top of the tank I have a basket of vintage linens and an
“N”

for no reason whatsoever – just that I like it and the little pop of color it provides.

don’t ya like the flirty little ruffle I added to the
bottom of the skirt?

I love how it finishes that edge, adds the scallopy softness…

and ties in with the ruffle on the hand towels above

it softens this room so nicely!

YUM!

Perhaps I’ll add a tutorial later but for now…check out the great tutorial for a different version here authored by the lovely MMS.

So now off I go to throw in another load of laundry

does this job ever ever end?

nope never - oh poop!

Wishing you a wonderful day!
