My Laundry Room






This past 4th of July I slept until 4:30pm because I worked the night before. Well, I went to wash some clothes and learned that my washer was on the fritz....it wasn't spinning. And do you know how hard it is to get clothes dry that didn't spin. You don't want to find out. Anyway, since the washing machine was broke and Eric took it to the garage, I decided to give my laundry room a fresh look. So Friday, we went to buy the paint at Lowes, which my mom looked and they had a can of paint that was mix matched for $5, and it looked like it was a cream color, which was close to what I wanted. (I wanted a pale yellow) And mom also found the wall border I wanted to put in there and it was on sale too. So I got a great deal that evening.
So Saturday I get up and I start taking down the old wall border which was so light you didn't really know that it was up. I had to use a scraper because it was up there so long. After which, I began to paint. Well I had a little helper and I wish I would have taken pictures of her when she was done. I think that she had more on her shorts than she did the walls. But she did good for the most part and I only had to clean a *LITTLE* paint off of the wood work. But she liked the work. Anyway the color you can't see that well in the pics but it is like a banana cream color and is really close to what I was wanting, and it matches the wall border great!!! Mom came up after she got off work that day and I fixed supper and we put the wall border up in about 20 minutes.
On Monday, we went to get me a new washer, for we found out it would cost us about $300 or more to get mine fixed. And there were some other issues with the washer that we had. So since Lowes had the appliances 10% off and the last day being Monday, we went and picked me out a new one. We ended up getting a top loader that is like a front loader and it holds 3 loads of clothes at the same time. It sounds like a little car running. Any way just wanted to show some pics of my laundry rooms makeover. Hope all have a great week. God bless!!!
