Laundry Room Update - Gifts From A Friend

One of the most wonderful things about blogging is, the people you meet.

Or, actually, those you don't get to meet in person, but become such close friends that you feel like you have known them all of your life.

One such friend is Linda who blogs at A La Carte

Linda and I correspond almost daily and we have determined that we are really sisters from another mother LOL! We share soooo much in common it is scary!! Although we are separated by many miles, we are besties, or as like I like to call her, my BBF, my Bestest Bloggy Friend!

As you know, my birthday was last month and, a few days after, I received a package in the mail, from Linda.  Because of the weather, it showed up a little late but is a loved and treasured gift nonetheless!  Because Linda knows me so well it was the perfect gift!

Two little irons! The blue one is a vintage toy.

You can tell it was well loved by its previous owner.

And is now being loved by its new owner, ME!

The vintage red and black iron has also been well loved but the scuffs and patina are what I enjoy about it! I actually plugged it in and, IT WORKS! Yes, it heats up like it were brand new!

Don't they look so sweet on the shelf in the laundry room?

Another addition is this vintage hanger I won on eBay not long ago. Remember when phone numbers only had a few digits?  

Thanks to my long long sister {grin} Linda, my laundry room makes me smile even more!

Thank you dear friend!

Laundry Room Decor

Do you remember a few months ago, not long after we moved into our new house, I shared my awesome laundry room?

I am just in love with this room still! It's just so BIG! And it is doing its job well in storing a ton of my tablescaping and decor props too!

But you must admit, as I did, it's not pretty.  It needed some extra touches. So, I hit up Cost Plus, Hobby Lobby and Home Depot and added some decor, perfect for a laundry room.

On the right you will see Mr. B added even more cupboards for me! Spoiled? Me? Maybe just a smidge lol! But, let's take a look at the left side of the window shall we?

I moved the WASH sign I had made for the laundry room in our previous home from by the window onto this wall.  I then purchased a shelf and brackets from Home Depot and had Mr. B put it up for me.  Yes I could have put it up myself but, I really wanted it level and Mr. B is way more patient precise than I am when it comes to those little details.

On the shelf I placed a cute handled cleaning bin from the laundry room collection at Cost Plus. I loved it the instant I saw it.  The shape, the color, I knew I had to have it.  I also got the vintage clothes pins from the collection and placed them in one of my large canning jars topped with some cute gingham material. 

The adorable laundry room sign I got on sale from Hobby Lobby.

I loved the saying even though I think Mr. B has done maybe one load of laundry since we got the new washer and dryer a year ago lol!  I cut some material I had on hand into a strip and used it to hang the sign. A nice unexpected pop of fun color, yes?

I will be on the look out for some more cute vintage and eclectic laundry room decor to add to the wall.  My biggest goal/ score would be to find some vintage wooden and wire hangers.  Or, a toy sized vintage ironing board. Or...well you get what I am going for here right? Wish me luck in my hunt!
