Inspiration for the laundry room turns it into a secret retreat
Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 6:10AM
I noticed that I was complaining a lot about doing the never-ending loads of laundry but, my griping wasn't getting me anywhere. I've been dreaming about the laundry fairy making a stop at our house for a long time. One day I finally woke up and faced the facts - I'm the laundry fairy. And, if your hubby is one of those that helps out with the laundry, treat him real well this Valentine's Day!
So, it was time to take serious action - I decided to bring some photo inspiration into my laundry room area. Adding fun and dreamy photos has changed the entire laundry space and my feelings around it. They take the focus away from the monotonous chore of doing laundry to being inspired by gorgeous photos of places and things I love! The self-portrait is by my 5 yo daughter, Ava :) The BIG smile just radiates sunshine! The photo of the boat on the beach is Maya Bay in Thailand (I'm an island girl at heart!). The trees standing tall in the meadow of yellow flowers is in Germany on Fehmarn Island. Of course, I completely drink my own kool-aid so love to have my goodies from the Inspiration Lounge store all around!
And, it's easy to do....
Materials: 2 magnetic strips or one big one
A few photos of places or things you love. I pulled a couple of gorgeous and dreamy photos from my Islands desktop calendar.
Fun art you have floating around the house. If you have kids, it's everywhere!
I will mail you a Breathe postcard if you like! Just send me your address through the contact form.
Voila, a laundry room that has now become your secret retreat.
