Well my friends I did it, I finished, presenting The Laundry.
.
Okay you don't need a special invitation, but I did recieve one, I won't be RSVPing any time soon (I hope)
The depend advertisement here states if your over 35 and have had children, you'll probably be needing these. My kids think this is the most hilarious thing and feel the need to make sure I am aware I fit this description, oh they're hilarious..not!
Anyhow, the image we've all been waiting for....The Laundry.
Firstly apologies once again for the photos, tiny room issues (and bad photo taker/editor)
You may note that I ended up putting a third bracket on the shelf, it started to bow a little in the middle. The light fitting is pink "crystals" it was one of those DIY fitted ones, took all of 5 minutes!
So in short it started like this
Then I painted the stencil on the wall
Made the ABIB
Who can forget my troubles with the Laundry Station
Added Mellywood's Mantra
Horrified you with my But-Ahh cans
Framed my whining iron
Horsed around with my clothes horse organizer
Danced at the Sock Hop
Force fed the kids pasta so I could make these
Added the Pointless Quilt
In spite of all the trial and error, I am so happy with the result. I now have a room I'm happy with and with my laundry loads, it's just as well.
DIY Delight or Disaster? DELIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you think?
Thanks for reading

Wow you have done a fantastic job at breathing life into the laundry! You have made it a space that one might just not mind being in - definitely this would make me want to wash a few more clothes. I have a hideous laundry to tackle soon, you have made me feel much better about it :-)
ReplyDeleteYour laundry looks great. I love all your DIY projects. Such a bright room you have.
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous.....that's all I can say!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE for you to come and redo my laundry space!
You are very talented!

Damn Mel....you almost make me want to do laundry! I don't have a laundry room..just an area. I'm so jealous of your bright and cheery looking space! Awesomely major project!
ReplyDeleteI especially love the framed ironing board. So cute!

Danni said to check you out and I did. Danni said you were funny and you are. She didn't tell me to join your site, I did that all on my own! This won't be nearly as cool when you learn the arts of tight shots, photo editing and out right lying. Your laundry room has turned out great! ~ Maureen
ReplyDeleteIt turned out great! It's so light and airy! A room you want to look at it's so pretty! You've been busy busting out projects and man does it look good! Exclamation points everywhere!
ReplyDeleteOMG Mel....it is so very very gorgeous!!!!! Can I come a live in your laundry? So much work, but so worth it. Your colours are just beautiful. :) You go girl!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSoooo pretty and girly! Well done!
ReplyDeleteLooks really good Job well done

ReplyDeleteI love it! I could spend hours in there, (but not doing the laundry lol!) Well done, you have 'delighted' me on each visit!

Wow! What an awesome room! Laundry is not a fun task but I'd be hunting for dirty clothes with a laundry room like that :)
ReplyDeleteLove it! You're a classic!
ReplyDeleteI love it! It's so bright and fresh. I would love doing laundry in there.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Love the colors and DIY designs. Stopping by from the Weekend Wrap Up {Tatertots and Jello}.
ReplyDeleteThis looks too lovely to be a laundry room! I would be making things dirty on purpose :)

Just lovely! New follower too.. Hope you can follow back as well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this at the Weekend Wonders link party! Hope to see you back on Thursday Have a great day :)
What a great little space to do laundry. Great personal touches too.
ReplyDeleteI love it, and I'm going to do it too, I love pink but alas have a husband and a boy, so the laundry room is mostly my area to do in pink! Thank you for the idea.
ReplyDeleteOne of the most beautiful laundry rooms ever! I love all those bright colors. Megan
ReplyDeleteI wish you would come and do my laundry room - I do my laundry with the lights off. :( I would love to do laundry in this room. Pinning!
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy cute, and you are hilarious, a woman after my own heart. Hubs and I have a question though......what is an ABIB? Did you make a cover to go over the appliances? Is that what.s under the breadboard and shelf area? If so, you are a much better woman than I will EVER be....lol. This is a fab room, and one that even a spoiled princess like myself (yet, I still don't have a launderess) would be thrilled to do my dirty laundry in. *Claps*
ReplyDeleteHi Ana, the ABIB stands for Australia's biggest ironing board, it's self proclaimed but I'm still owning it. :) it is the thing sitting on top of the appliances.
DeleteThanks so much for coming over

OMG this is SOOOO sweet! I love it so much! I only have a laundry closet ;( but as soon as I can expand it in any way, I', totally stealing your ideas!
