Corners of My Home: The Launderette

 Launderette

This is my favorite room in the house and its not even a room.  It is a closet, the laundry closet.  i like to call it the launderette.

 Ironing Board

It is a place where I can have everything girly and just so without complaints.  I can close the doors and no one has to know about it.  But I think it is too pretty to keep it shut off.  It had been a springy-green before but I repainted it pale pink, the same color the inside of the cabinet is now.  There was also a little tiny light fixture that made it dark and sad.  I found an old milk glass school house style shade at St. Vincent's for a dollar (these things are like $50 for reproductions ) and now everything is sunny and bright.

 Bunting

My Momma got me some glass canisters with red lids in the holiday markdowns for my little laundry room.  I think I will replace the ones with the silver lids for them.  And I just adore that red and blue bunting from Alicia .  it makes doing laundry a party.

That really makes me want to redecorate my laundry room (which is, incedentally, not a room, but an itsy-bitsy porch off the back of my kitchen. It's pretty bad...)

Very adorable, and very inspiring. And, P.S. I love that your comment boxes are pink.
