Laundry Room Beauty...Really?

Does the laundry at your house seem to grow overnight?  Mine surely does!  I can have it all caught up and actually feel so good having tackled and accomplished it all (by the way, I'm sort of a type "A" and can't stand much of it laying around waiting on me!)...and then all of a sudden there is another pile to be done! Yikes!  Anyway, on that note, I thought we'd look into another area of our homes that may also be overlooked as having a need to be part of a design plan...and that is the LAUNDRY ROOM.  Let's take a look...


Look familiar...in desperate need of a makeover? 


Love this cheerful golden yellow!


Check out this fun wallpaper - a clothes line!


A touch of tradition here...and with a chair to cozy up and read that book you've been wanting to finish all while the laundry is being done...Ah!  This changes the meaning of "doing laundry"...don't ya think?



Even a painted ceiling in this one!


I know I used this photo in our "For the Love of Pink" post, but I just love this room and the simplicity of it so I wanted to post it here. Wallpaper and artwork...how simple is that?


A fresh new color will do wonders alone for this area! Go ahead...be daring!  It's just paint!







I love the use of accessories here.



Many more accessories...love the personality it creates!





How's this to wake you up in the morning to do the laundry?  Bright and Cheerful!


We tend to spend a lot of our time in this area of our home, don't we?  Then why shouldn't we make it "eye candy" so we can enjoy the task of doing laundry a little more?  Use a theme and colors that make YOU happy.  Be sure to even include some special touches like a rug, artwork, even a mirror.  Whatever things inspire you...use them.  You will then find yourself leaping out of bed to get started on the laundry (well, maybe not leaping, but it surely will wash away that dread a little)!!!

We'd love for you to share how this inspired you to make some changes in your laundry area. Be sure to let us know if you step out and try this...and how it effects the task of doing the laundry!

I hope each and every one of you are having a blessed week (and remembering to reach out and bring sunshine into someone else's life each day!) Now, go and make it a "Simply Irresistible" Day!
