Project- laundry....:)

It's no secret that I love to do laundry:) Ok, well if it was a secret- I just told on myself. Anyway...this here is my laundry room in our Dana Point cottage:)


Cute- but kinda booooring!! I always thought some stripes would look fab in here, and this last weekend I tackled it with the help of my amazing sidekick:)


I have hated these cabinets that I call the GIRAFFE since they were put in. I asked for light distressed and the only thing that was lightly distressed was me- for the last 5 years!! UGH!! Moving along...


Since I have the patience of a two year old and the math skills to match, I let my hubby do the taping:) I mean seriously, I could hear him saying things like 11 and 15/16th's and stuff! Wa what?? I did however, read some time saving tips from Beth about painting stripes, and her info was spot on!


Oh! and for the first time evah I actually wore gloves and saved the manicure I just got a few days ago! I'm growing up:)


We painted a few coats and waited for the paint to dry....


Yippee!!! I'm in love:)



I found these sweet little drum lights at Lowe's, and just shortened the curtains that I already had:)


Here's the view from the kitchen:)


Next week? I'm hoping to get to project-send-the-giraffe-back-to-the-zoo! I'll keep ya posted;)

  10. You have the most darling laundry room! It's a nice size too. Your stripes really add alot of personality to the room. I actually like your grey distressed cabinets though. That's my favorite part of the room!
