Do you look around one day and all of a sudden you see something that you never saw before and wonder where in the world has your brain been. When we moved in after doing a little mini makeover to the kitchen, I added handles to all the kitchen cabinets and knobs to the bathroom cabinets. I thought I was all done and gave all my extras away. Well 4 yrs. later, I just noticed that the laundry room cabinets don’t have any knobs on them. As you can plainly see, I am always totally observant – – -NOT. So on a recent trip to Hobby Lobby I happened to see some knobs in the clearance aisle and it reminded me that I needed some, so I went through their bins and you will never believe what I found.
There are 4 doors on the cabinets above the washer and dryer, so I thought this was perfect. Sometimes you just have to be a little silly and do something totally fun. I was so thrilled that I found the letters to spell “Wash”.
The added bonus is they were on clearance for 80 cents each. How could I possibly resist.
My laundry room is just a pass through from the hall to the garage. As you walk in there is an old refrigerator that I love having. Holds some extra freezer things and perfect for all the juices and drinks, plus extra room when we have company and big meals. Next to it is the washer and dry. (I know, they are older too, but they work so beautifully and with just 2 they don’t get a huge workout.) The storage above them is fabulous, keeps all those necessary things out of sight.
The other side has room for a small cabinet with two doors and two drawers at the bottom. This holds some of my candlesticks, candles, sewing machine, sewing notions, ribbons and wrapping supplies.
Of course I use every square inch in here to decorate and to also hold some of my “stuff” when I’m not using it in a vignette. My bragging wall with pics of my grands. These are all when they were really little, they are all grown now. See the two football players on the left and the soccer player on the right, that’s one of his wedding pics in the center 4-22-11. Time flys.
The top of the fridge holds my Antique Radio Flyer wagon and some of my extra pitchers. I love these two antique scales too.
The top of the cabinets holds two tureens, my mom’s ironstone pitcher and my dad’s toolbox.
Now look at the cabinet doors with my fabulous find. Don’t you just love it. So fun. Under the cabinets is an old Ivory panel off one of their shipping crates.
Cute
Cute – I know, simple things really tickle me.
I have a few of the quilt blocks and needlework pieces that I did many, many years ago. Still think they are fun. Nothing fancy, but it is great to have some decor even in the laundry room.
The top of the cabinet holds a small collection of old irons and some of my dad’s old woodworking tools.
They always say everything is all in the details. I am trying to pay attention.
