Yep, decorating, not remodeling – there won’t be any new cabinets or anything big – just a little touching up here and there. The size of this laundry room was one of the big reasons I fell in love with this house. It’s bigger than any laundry room we’ve ever had but it could definitely use a little style help.
It’s always easier for me to analyze a room if I take a picture of it and this room is no different. So here’s the no-I-didn’t-clean-up-beforehand-I’m-so-embarrassed-by-this before shot:
The most obvious thing to me is that the balloon in the laundry basket needs to go. I mean, really, who keeps balloons in their laundry room? Not me. Beyond that there are several things I’d like to tackle but my first step was the floor: I made a floor cloth to give the room some fun. I’ve really enjoyed my first one, and had to try it again.
The hexagons were cut from a layer cake of Sweetwater’s Hometown fabric. It’s stiff and sturdy and won’t slip around thanks to paint on rug backing.
I’ve been building up an album of laundry rooms I like on Pinterest, but the challenge will be making my dark machines look nice. Almost every beautiful laundry room has light-colored machines.
