But ladies, if I can do it*, so can you.
I want to marry the wallpaper.
And this. Well, this is almost as good as the wallpaper. One of those coveted french wire laundry baskets. Do you know how long it has been on my flea market wish list? Every other time I have seen one I have promptly been told it is NOT for sale.
And I found it at the flea. It was painted a horrible orange color and I nearly overlooked it. I lined it with this wonderful paisley eyelet fabric.
My laundry room? Serious love right now.
And just because I find this part interesting, here are some money stats on this room:
The green quilt cabinet was a yard sale find, $15
Blue dresser, yard sale find, $30, covered with free glidden paint
The pink glass knob rack, yard sale find, $1
Wallpaper, ebay, $15
Wire laundry basket, flea market, $20
Fabric to line it, Joanns (WITH coupon, it was pricey), $20
Shaggy rug, Homegoods, $20
Door mat, antique store, $10
IKEA chandy, $40
Iron birdy key holder, garage sale, $1
Mail sorter, thrift store, $8
Aprons part of the collection
The mercury glass is from Ikea and a yard sale (price long forgotten)
Basket from my dad
The clock was my grandparents
I easily have less than $200 in the entire laundry room, including my storage on the other side and my apple crate trash can.
*It was challenging. The paper does really want to tear since it isn't vinyl. But apparently I love a good challenge, as no curse words were wasted in the making of the laundry room!
Your laundry room is glorious eye candy. I can't imagine any good wallpapering experience and you make it sound effortless. Your chandelier adds a lovely touch too. Beautiful room, Sarah.
ReplyDeleteSerious laundry room envy ...love it!
ReplyDeleteWow Sarah, it's gorgeous! Love, love, LOVE!
ReplyDeleteTotally fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI covet your laundry room!!! I can only dream of having a laundry room as beautiful as yours! Our's is home to our afghan dog, and the back enterance to the chicken barn!!! So needless to say - I will be DREAMING of YOURS!!!! Job well done!
ReplyDeleteLove everything!
ReplyDeletewhat a great room! you did an amazing job. I do not have the fortitude to hang wallpaper so I am very impressed! And a french laundry basket for $20? You rock!
ReplyDeleteI am stunned that you got those to match up so well. Gorgeous. The eyelet lace on the basket is darling. Every touch is perfect. Renee
ReplyDeletebeautiful! the wallpaper and the wire basket...I think I might even *want* to do laundry if I had your laundry room!
ReplyDeleteThat's the most beautiful laundry room I've ever seen. Once again, a magazine-worthy effort!
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic. Love that paper, too! And, your run down of the moneys involved -- I always enjoy seeing others' scores.
ReplyDeleteMaybe someday I'll have the courage to wallpaper with some of the cool vintage paper I've scored in the past year. I'm hoping to work on our vintage Argosy camper this summer -- a good place to start, I think.
