Decorating the Laundry Room

      Now, many people may ask the question, "Why would I want to decorate my laundry room?"  My husband asked me this very question about our laundry room, but I found that making it prettier helped me, because I have to spend a fair amount of time in there working for our family.  I know that Christmas is upon us, so this idea will probably not take root with most people right now, but after the holidays, you may be itching for a new project, and this one may be just right for you!

       I painted a quatrefoil wall, which you can see instructions for by clicking here.  I made several signs for the walls from ideas I found on Pinterest, and you can read my instructions by clicking here.

      Having someplace to put my single socks is so handy.  I spent some time organizing my cleaning supplies into handy bins and trying to corral our bags into the built-ins that were there when we moved in.

All in all, I have been pleased with the way that it functions and having a pretty laundry room makes me ever so much more marginally happy when I am in there.  Worth it.
