  4. I'll see you Monday:)

    ps where did you get the sink?

  5. I HATE laundry........I don't enjoy one aspect of it all. The size of your laundry room is great. Enough space to move about. Enough light. I like the metal hanging thing in particular, what is it? good job! the room might even entice me to do a load, and maybe even fold it...I really appreciate your big room, mine is tiny tiny tiny.

  6. oh rie...did you hear me squeal with delight?

    oh my...this is so vintage, industrial yummy goodness!!!

    and i'd be happy to take a road trip to help the kids...cuz i'd love to be in that laundry room as well as your beautiful, comfy home...even if it is to do laundry!

    i'm working on the plans for our laundry room makeover and i can't wait to start..once the bathroom is re-done. :/

  13. I read the first line and wondered what in the world is she talking about. Looking at your amazing laundry room, I am not surprised. :) It's gorgeous.

    ReplyDelete

  14. Love your laundry room. I could move in tomorrow. :)

    ReplyDelete

  15. Your laundry room is great. I love all the little touches you added. Don't get me started on that sink, adorable. I actually do not mind doing the laundry, it is the putting away that drives me crazy.

    ReplyDelete

  16. Wow ... I would love to be in there too! I especially love the counter (aka: the folding table.) Laundry is my favorite chore too. I just feel so "accomplished" when it all gets done. At least our part - now the putting away ... sometimes I wonder why my daughter even has a dresser!

  18. Ok, I'm shocked!
    Your loundry room is wonderful, it's my dream to have one like that!
    Congratulations.

  19. I don't mind washing and drying but folding is another story. I am really bad about taking it out of the dryer and dumping it on a chair in our bedroom.(It is just me and my husband) One time I let it pile up too much and my granddaughter ask me what I did with the green chair in my bedroom. She thought it was just a big pile of clothes. Oh, TMI, I hang my head in shame.

  20. That space is fantastic and would make laundry seems more peaceful. Everything is perfect. Love that sink!!!

    ReplyDelete

  21. Lovely and charming. It almost makes me want to paint mine. Almost.

    ReplyDelete

  23. I HATE laundry. Maybe if I had a room like yours I wouldn't mind it so much. Where did you get your galvanized bins? I have been look everywhere for something like that. You can email me back at beckyjblood@yahoo.com Thanks!

  27. I love your laundry room! Laundry is one of my favorite chores too, but if I had your laundry room, I'd be coming up with things to wash so just I could be in there! :-)

    ReplyDelete

    I love what you did with the apple baskets, and that sink!

    PRETTY!!!

    ReplyDelete

  32. Wow! I LOVE it. Beautiful. I've always wanted a big launry room. I too love doing laundry, but HATE putting it away. It usually ends up sitting on top of my dresser until I wear it all and it's time to wash again. ha!

    ReplyDelete

  33. Wow! It is so beautiful, I might actually enjoy doing laundry in that room!

    ReplyDelete

  34. Now I could do laundry there! That looks absolutely beautiful! Stop by my blog and check out my giveaway going on right now :)

  35. OMG that is so funny, I hate putting the clothes away too. I am usually running a load a day and it just piles up in the laundry room. Your room is gorgeous, I could stay in there all day, it's not yelling out work, it's very calm! Wonderful!
    Enjoy your day!

  37. My favorite part, are the little lined baskets on the wall. I'm guessing they're for carry clothes into seperate rooms. Great idea!

    ReplyDelete

  38. This is the most beautiful laundry room i ever see !!

    Love it all !!! hugs from me........Ria.........

    ReplyDelete

  39. I love how you put your mind to a task and just do it! You are amazingly talented and motivated. I love the little mirror, too.

  41. I would do laundry every day if I had a beautiful room like this to do it in. I'm currently renovating my house and am planning a lovely laundry room just like this. Thanks for the inspiration.

    ReplyDelete

  42. Rie... I see why this room is your new favorite!!!

    I love it...you and hubby did a wonderful job making it beautiful.

    I don't mind washing. I don't mind drying...I hate folding. But. I do it b/c I really hate seeing clean laundry stacked up and not neatly put away!

    ReplyDelete

  43. Seriously Amazing!!!!!! I would look forward to laundry in here! I don't know how you do it but it's just amazing!!

    ReplyDelete

  45. I'd love to do laundry if I had a room that looked like that! I am so in love with your sink.

    ReplyDelete

  46. I like doing the laundry too....even ironing....but I would LOVE to do it in a pretty room like yours! Beautiful! Enjoy!
    :)

    ReplyDelete

  47. Gorgeous! I'll be there this afternoon, but I'll have to bring some of my own clothes. Our washer has been disconnected for 2 weeks in a remodel and with 5 kids it's starting to pile up--Grin. Thanks for the invite :).

    ReplyDelete

  48. OH MY GOODNESS!!!! (notice all caps)

    This is BEAUTIFUL!!!! (all caps again)

    I would come do your laundry for you to be able to just spend a little time in this room.

    ReplyDelete

  49. Love it!! it's so simple and perfect!

    ReplyDelete

  50. Just wonderful!!! Great job, with a light airy feel! Just like linen!...

    ReplyDelete

  51. Rie, I would do it all for you just to hang out in this room! It's as charming as the rest of your home. My laundry room is in the creepy dirt basement and I've been trying to get my husband on board for a redo - but to no avail. Now I'm more determined than ever! I will be borrowing the basket idea. :) And I love the hanging wire basket thing...wonder where I could find one of those?
    Really...you've outdone yourself again - it looks like it's right out of Country Living- who by the way should pay you a visit. :)
    Enjoy your day ~

    ReplyDelete

  54. sooo nice. I just did a mini reno on my laundry room and am excited about making it a room that I LIKE to be in.

    ReplyDelete

  55. Rie,
    Your laundry room is beautiful. I haven't had internet service during the day the past few days, and I was so excited when my sister told me you had posted about your laundry room. Can you come design my laundry room for me!!!
    HUgs,
    Maria

  56. I really like your laundry room! I have the same baskets that you have hanging, only mine doesn't have the cute liner and I use mine for toys. I would love to hear how you use all the different containers/storage in your laundry room. Thanks for sharing with us!

    ReplyDelete

  62. Rie, WOW!! Your laundry room is amazing! I love your sink:) OK, I pretty much love everything about this room! I love to do the washing and the hanging out, the ironing ...not so much. But if my laundry room was as beautiful and spacious as yours, I think I coulds even learn to like ironing! You and your husband have done a wonderful job on this room Rie! Enjoy ~ Tina xx

  63. What a BEAUTIFUL laundry room! I'd never want to leave... is that weird?

    ReplyDelete

  64. Hello- I just found your blog through your guest post at Pretties and Posies... Your home is beautiful. I just adore this lovely laundry room. I think I could learn to love laundry if I could have this space!

    ReplyDelete

  65. How do you have six kids and time to be this amazing?? Well I was just curious how what method you used to fix the material under your laundry room sink? Is it able to shift to each side-Or is it fixed in postion! Thank you :)Heidi, CA

    ReplyDelete

  66. Hi Heidi,
    I'm not amazing. :) I actually just stapled the curtain to the wood counter (underneath). Call me lazy, but it worked just fine. It made an interesting scalloped pattern. :)
    the fabric was split down the middle, so I could part either side to get behind it.

I love hearing from you!
