THE Mudroom

THURSDAY:  Yeah!  Another Creation!

My laundry room was teeny weeny once upon a time.  Then my amazing charming hubby granted me my wish to have a mud room.  He built onto my laundry room using extra garage space and turned this......



into this!



Lockers galore!




Everyone has plenty of room for coats, sweatshirts and pack backs.  
A place for every shoe. 








My hubby says that this room will sell our home.
I say that this room will keep me from ever selling.











A little something for the eyes.




Real life after a quick pick up.
I love my mudroom hubby!

Extending Laundry Space

TUESDAY:  Yeah!  A Creation!

Here's my laundry command center.  
Each child has a basket.  
Wait, I have 5 kids not three.  
Time to expand.


Take down old shelf.



Put up wider shelf and all 5 baskets.
I'm happy.
My kids...not so happy.



A little added prettiness.








































Laundry - undoubtedly loads of fun!

Upscaled Laundry Room Cabinets

THURSDAY:  Yeah!  Another Creation!


My laundry room cabinets have a new-look!



I wanted to give my ho-hum cabinets a smart look for a smart price.



I pulled the doors off and painted them with a semi-gloss black paint.



After two coats of black paint - I brushed it with a polycrylic finish.
Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish 
A clear finish topcoat in a water-based formula that offers protection along with fast-drying times. Can be used over bare wood, oil- and water-based stains, paint and wallpaper.
I am sold!
50 little grubby fingers and polycrylic mix very well.
It wipes off easily!



Tah dah! 
 I am now ready to tackle bathroom cabinets and my kitchen island.



It looks so clean and classy.



Stay tuned for my favorite project.... THE Mudroom!

Laundry is Loads of Fun

TUESDAY:  Yeah!  A Creation!


My friend invited me to her house and we made this cute sign for our laundry rooms.
We got the idea from  howdoesshe.com .


A plaque board from the craft store.


Acrylic brown paint for the edges.


We printed the saying from the computer onto cute paper and colored the letters in with a black sharpie marker.


Mod Podge the paper onto the wood and then gloss it over with more mod podge.


Drill two holes to hang the ribbon through.








The Laundry Room - Loads of Fun
That's what I keep telling myself.
