We just finished our laundry/mudroom re-do!
Come and take a peek
Here are a few before pictures
I taped off and painted the stripes a shade darker then the walls{hubby said "I just want you to know I totally protest this"}
{He didn't want to get stuck helping me}
but he did! :-)
Remember this from my last post?The old dresser drawer front!
Hubby added molding to the sides to cover the dove tail edges,I painted it, shabbied it up a little bit, added 2 vintage glass door knobs, and cast iron hooks.
Now it is a great looking coat rack
I love it!
Cute little vignette....the chippy vintage molding piece I purchased from Holly Abston awhile ago!
I added a glass knob and turned it into a hanger, love the chippy vintage frame and baby dress hanging from the drip dry hanger!
This door leads to the small guest bath!
sorry for the bad lighting...it was dark n rainy and I had to use the over head light!
The border was a last minute purchase from ebay!I planned to use the same border I used in the front room {since they open to each other} but didn't have enough so I got on ebay searching for something to coordinate! I like it!
Got these jars from Wal-Mart.... attached vintage laundry pictures on the fronts to hold dryer sheets, powdered oxy and clothes pegs.{click pic to enlarge}
There are 3 doors and an entry in this small room!
Thank you for visiting!Until Next time!

Oh Dolly, you and your hubby did a perfect job on that room. It is so pretty that I bet you look forward to doing the laundry. So calm and serene in there, I love green and love the stripes too. I remember the drawer front. I commented that I knew it was a drawer front, but I don't remember what I thought you were going to do with it, love that look, Char
The room turned out gorgeous. Love the stripes and the pretty border. Your accessories are just wonderful. I really LOVE the drawer front turned into a coat hook. Just beautiful. Hugs, Marty
Ooooh, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly!!! How gorgeous is that, sugar???? Aaaaaaaah, what you did is fantastic. I've been extolling the virtues of a laundry room redo since I did mine last year and even updated it this year. Actually, I'm working on even more stuff for it in there. But isn't it neat to have such a beautiful place to do your laundry, sweet chick??
Love to you and Miss Emma.

Oh Dolly, I'm visiting from Cherry
Hill Cottage and absolutely LOVE
your laundry room! The cute little
clothes dryer with the dress is
adorable. I want to redo my
laundry room now. Please tell me
who you got the wallpaper border

laundry a lot more fun!

That is fabulous! Did you paint the jar lids? I love that color. Even on a dark and dreary day it looks cozy. I could do many a load of laundry in that room.
Ohhhh..that is so cute! Love what you did with that piece of beautiful wood too, great as a coat rack! It all looks so pretty..don't wash your cloths to death just so you can use the cute room! haha Come say hi :D
What a nice job you did Miz Dolly! Very inspirational.

Isn't it fun to redecorate and see what comes out of it. The dresser drawer turned out great and functional too! I'm a new follow, lead here by Holly...she said she liked Dolly...I felt left out so I said I'd be Molly...but I'm actually Jacqueline from Once Upon a Fairyland. Smile, great job Dolly!
Thank you all for the sweet comments...you encourage me to go on creating!
The kitchen is do for a make over!

What a beautiful laundry room!!!
What a lovely laundry room! Love the color.
Oh WOW...what a gorgeous laundry room. It must be a pleasure doing laundry there! LOVE the painted stipes on the wall.
I am crazy about your laundry room! Fabulous - I think my favorite thing is the dresser drawer re-do! What a perfect idea! Happy Pink Saturday!
I adore the vignette especially the little dress. What a beauty! Hugs, Mollye
Oh Dolly!! This is just gorgeous!! I love everything about it and your drawer front is amazing. What a great idea.
I did stripes once and said "NEVER AGAIN" What a pain! They do look great, tho.
You must love to do laundry now??

I still have my little boo swag up- just hate to take it down it is so darling!
beautiful, sweet, soft and perfect. You did a great job, I LOVE IT!
Wow! The stripes are awesome (I am glad that hubby caved! :)). And the coat hook is beautiful. What a luxurious laundry room (usually an oxy moron, but so true here)!
Hi Dolly,
I love, love, love it! how very sweet and pretty!I really need to re-do my laundry room. I have enjoyed catching up with you today,
Elizabeth
That turned out very nice! I love the green stripes. We are thinking about the stackables too, so that we can have more space to add a folding table, etc.
Great Job-I love it!

I'm in the process of doing up my laundry room/larder (I'm calling it a Lardry). I think I've got a few ideas from your post. Particularly liked the idea of adding vintage laundry pics to the front of the storage jars. xx
This is way too cute to be hidden! That drawer front is just beautiful. I have never attempted stripes but LOVE yours. Now I don't want to go in MY laundry to get that last load out :) Great job!
Oh I absolutely love it! Can I bring my laundry over? Enjoy it! and have a wonderful week!
Hugs and glitter, Patti
So cute! I love the baby dress and the moulding in the frame. I wish I had a laundry room. M y washer and dryer are in the basement...not much I can do to make that space cute. Well, not without about $30 grand!
I am just dropping by to thank you for stopping by my blog for Cottage Mondays. Thanks very much.
Dolly, this is a great redo! Lots of inspiration there. None of us will look at drawer fronts the same again. You are too clever. (We don't mind protesting hubbies as long as they still help ;-)
Hugs,
Lallee
Wonderful job! I especially love those Walmart jars..great idea!!
How sweet this is! Love this room. Great ideas.
Oh Dolly dear! That is the cutest laundry room I have ever seen! What a great job you (& hubby) did! Love the colors and all the pretty little touches! I would be in there everyday doing laundry!
Hugs!
Maryjane
What a beautiful outcome! I love it! How great it must be to do laundry in such a beautiful room.
Absolutely charming...what a pleasure it must be to do laundry in there!! The stripes are wonderful and I love what you have done with the cool drawer front and other very interesting architectural (sp?) doo dads --very cool! Makes me want to cry when I go down into my dungeon to do laundry, lol!
Smiles, Karen
P.S. I would love to see your picture of the Holy Family!!! yes, yes, yes!
