Productive Weekend

I woke with such an AWFUL headache yesterday!  I was sure that I wouldn't be getting much done around the house.  But long about noon my headache finally went away, and I managed to be pretty productive yesterday afternoon. 

I managed to clean the family room, playroom, and laundry room! 

 

I also made a "to-do" for each room.  Just odds and ends of things that need to get done.  It's displayed prominently in each room so Bill can see it....just in case he wants to do something on said "to-do" list.  He is retired after all!!

 

One thing on the list is figuring out how to disguise the dryer

vent and cord in the photo above.  Any ideas?

I also want to (finally) get this door painted...but not white. 

I'm thinking a nice, bright yellow or maybe some shade of green.

Thoughts??

Then there's this peg board.  It needs to be attached to the wall....centered under the little girl in the blue dress and centered between her and the ledge.  That's written on the note too, so Bill knows exactly where to hang it...just in case he has time!

While I was cleaning I did a little laundry too.  I washed this quilt.  It was a thrift store purchase about a year ago.  I love the colors in it...it's a happy quilt. 

It'll be even happier when I repair the frayed beige squares in it!

 

Happy Monday!!

 



Laundry Room

The Inspiration

Two years ago we remodeled our laundry room ~ I can't believe it's been that long!  I also can't believe that there are two more things that still have to be done in it....but it's basically done and I love it.  I don't think I ever showed the finished product ~ but first some reminders from the past.

If you click HERE you'll see how it used to be....oh so sad!   Click HERE to see some progress being made.  HERE it is freshly painted. 
Go HERE to see the "laundry tower" and also a peek at my cute father-in-law.
Now here comes the (mostly) finished room.  It's by far the brightest room in the house.  I take photos on top of the washer frequently! 

The valance on my backdoor is a vintage apron I won in a giveaway on Notes From A Cottage Industry.  Thanks Tracey ~ I love it!

This is a little peek at some of the necessary stuff on my laundry room shelves...they run the full width above the washer, dryer and laundry tower.  The banner you see a part of was made by my friend Joyce of Scrap for Joy.  She makes the best things!!

These are close-ups of the canvas pictures hanging on the wall.  I bought them and then decided on the colors, etc. for the laundry.  I just fell in love with them ~ they're from HomeGoods.  Love that store and I love this room.  The two things left to do are on the wall I didn't show....above and next to the washer and dryer.  Soon as they're finished I'll share a peek. I'm hoping it won't be another two years!  : )
