it's friday everyone! & i am excited to show you how a recent project i have been plugging away on has transformed! a month ago i posted "the start of something good" which showed a couple rooms in our basement that we were finishing. (click HERE if you'd like to see the before)! well a visit from the plumber this week put the final touches on my laundry room! here it is...drum-roll please...
i added a burlap skirt to the wood counter to provide a rustic cover & create a storage nook. the ship-lap counter was stained ebony which made for a rich mocha hue on the former new pine. and i am so tickled to have the commercial sprayer faucet for stubborn stains + rinsing! now...do you remember the peek at the weathered bleach sign? well you can now see it in it's full glory above my folding station! let me tell you...it is quite a luxury to have a spot to fold clothes! (other than the random tables and beds around our home!)
and speaking of stations...there is a spot to serve a purpose for every aspect of laundry...here an old galvanized bin {below} houses an array of cleaning supplies. WASH away...
and ontop of the washer/dryer is a giant old metal basket (with multiple coats of sealer) for all the CLEAN items. {below}
and of course we all need a spot to hang DRY those delicates! so vintage flashcards mark the spot & a well used radiator belt rack steps up to the plate to provide the hooks!
it's a small space packed full of function! no more hauling loads to the laundromat! i'll share one more picture {below} of my pride and joy!
phase 1 - COMPLETE! now the second phase of the "start of something" (otherwise known as the bathroom) is near completion. just a little fluffing & that will be ready to show you all very soon! thanks for stopping today - have a wonderful weekend! i think i will be off to tackle some dirty work...or in this case...a pleasurable jaunt with a hamper full of dingies to my laundry room!
happy day everyone!
