Symone's Mommy: Laundry Room Makeover

I got inspired by a laundry room DIY makeover on somebody's blog . I really should have remembered so I could put a link her...next time, right? Anyway, I hate washing (and folding) so thought I'd give it a try to see if it would entice me to WANT to do laundry.

UPDATE (9/15): Found it! Thanks, Blog Sis

Here we go...

Before (I'm so embarrassed):

After (with unused items from other rooms/closets):

$1 mirror from garage sale; baskets used to hold diapers when Symone was a baby; red rose topiaries from Bombay from 4 yrs ago just because; a half-*ssed wedding gift from 4 yrs ago(painting); Marble top end table given to me by my Aunt Bonnie; red christmas candle with snow man turned in; gold plated vase given to me in India; bottle of my grandmother's perfume

NOW -- I want to wash , but have no detergent *sigh* I can find ANY excuse!

Guess I'll have to hide the basket until I get some.

Thanks for the inspiration. My laundry room needs a TON of work!

Lilia said...: You did a great job! The things we do to make everyday chores more enjoyable, huh? I am very flattered that I was able to inspire you. Before I forget, the $25 coupon from Goodwill is a promotion they do twice a year. However, they do offer a stamp card that they stamp for every $10 purchased you make. Thanks again.; September 21, 2009 at 12:21 AM
