Be Clean!

I am linking this older post to Kelly Korner and her show us where you live party
I am linking this post to The Inspired Rooms procrastination party. My laundry room is FINALLY done, after much procrastination!
I have been working on my laundry room for some time now with tons of inspiration from two of my favorite blogs-Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick, and Shannon at Bless our Nest.



When hubby said, and I quote "Who decorates their laundry room?" I said "Sarah and Shannon do, that's who!" These ladies don't know this, but I have a feeling if we lived close to each other we would be the best of friends! I promise I am not a stalker, I just love their style!


I found these plates at Marshall's today for 2 bucks each! I have had these hooks for a while, but they were brown, so I did a little spray painting!



Here is my framed silhouette I got from my favorite place VinylSihouettes and my spray painted basket that now holds my dryer sheets!Some more of my cheap decor.







My 6 year old got me this candle holder for mothers day. I love it, and think it goes perfectly!






My loose change holder and other odds and ends. Hubby says my mossy rocks look like pickles.:)







The finished product. I am happy with it. Hubby is going to be so excited when he comes home! Tee, he, he!

The "mossy pickles" made me chuckle. Hubbies!

Can't imagine how your hubby reacts the make-over.

Love the B&W. I have the same motif and I adore it. Lots of candles and big bottles. Hurray!

It looks WONDERFUL!! I love all of the green and black! You did such a great job. When I saw the first picture I though, oooooooh, what is she going to fill that wall up with? I LOVE it! Don't you just love walking in there now? I know I do. Thanks for your sweet comments too! :)

Jennifer DeDonato said...

The shelf looks wonderful!

The Brewers said...

So cute!!! I think your hubby will come to appreciate it! I just re-did ours and, while my hubs doesn't care so much about the beauty of the room, he did have to admit (much as it pained him to do so) that I did add storage and function to the space!!!

Shana said...
