Laundry Room Reveal Before & After

It's been in the making and now finally finished

The new and improved laundry room.  Now, I must say, the room is so tiny and when I open the door it actually just misses the washer so it's not deep and it's about 94 inches wide.  Just enough for a little space on either side of the washer and dryer.

I had some wood cut at Lowe's and I stained it to sit across the washer and dryer as a solid surface.  There are those yucky white shelves behind the yellow chevron curtain. I didn't want to take them down so I covered them up.

One of the reasons I wanted to have a cute room was because as you look up my stairs this room is at the top, and as you walk up the stairs you look right in the laundry room.  So, a cute washer and dryer were a must and a much needed cute room too.

 

Here is the before, yuck right? It was in the partial stages of getting ready to paint

Here is an instrgram photo of my pinning and sewing the curtain.

So bright and cheerful

I love home made laundry detergent - here is the recipe. It's in the clothes pin jar!! The small jar to the left has lost in the laundry items, and things that have taken a "spin."

The printables I purchased and some were free.

This is a fun pendant I bought at Lowe's to hang rather then the builders light!

The orange crates were purchased at Michael's with 40% off coupons and spray pained, they hold cleaning supplies.

You can see the shelf here

I'm was excited to have my laundry room reveal on Shanty 2 Chic on May 1st!!  I have followed Ashley and Whitney for a while now and I just love all their projects. They are super clever and doable which is most appealing!!  When Whitney and Ashley emailed and asked if I'd like to guest post I was wondering what in the world will I post, then it hit me, my new laundry room. I have been in the laundry room "redo" stages and this was the motivator I needed.

Thrifty Stashy SNAP! Swap Project

 In March I signed up to be a part of the Thrifty Stashy SNAP! Swap. Everyone who signed up was matched with a swap partner to send a package of goodies and then they were to make something from what they received.  I was matched with Katie who blogs at Sew Woodsy with her husband, and together, they blog about their projects and tutorials.  But let me tell you, Katie also has a fabulous cooking blog called Katies Cucina.  She has some really great recipes and giveaways too!! 

OK, back to the swap goodies I received from Katie. Look at all this fun stuff!!!!

 Here is a card that Katie made

 

Here is what I was most excited about.  I have picked it up a few times at the craft stores but never purchased it.  So I decided to use the square pendants and the Dimensional Magic Mod Podge.  

I used a printable from Lil' Blue Boo. This is blown up but in real life it looks just like a chalkboard image.

 

I cut and placed the images in the squares and added the dimensional magic

 And here is how it turned out

I love the way it turned out!!

Here are some of the projects that other swappers who signed up have created.
