Laundry Hideaways


When I moved to the US from Argentina, I was amazed to find out that people here had actual laundry rooms to keep their washer and dryer and to perform their laundry duties.  
And such pretty washers!


Where I grew up, the washer was placed wherever there was room in the house,
normally...outside. 
Poor washer. 
And of course, the dryer was a wonderful human being, 
a.k.a "my mom", 
who would hang the clothes to dry with big ol' cloth pins. 

 Our laundry room now resembles a bowling lane, long and skinny. 
If I fit in it sideways, no one else does. I call it "cozy".

Let's face it:
it's a dungeon with white walls and
hand-painted leaves that reflect my 90's love for ivy. 
What was I thinking. 

 As I don't like to do laundry, it'll stay like that, possibly forever 
(I'd rather wash dishes, clean a toilet, or listen to a Justin Beaver song than do laundry - 
ESPECIALLY the part of putting clothes away! - If you like doing that, I already admire you). 

 Some of us dream with laundry rooms like these.... 



                                   However, if we don't have room for such fancies, 
how about these ingenious ideas to hide the machines 
that wonderfully clean and dry our clothes and whites....? 



 They have inspired me to at least paint over the nasty ivy leaves... 

See anything you like? 

 Stay inspired, loves.

Gorgeous Homes


These images from homes in Rhode Island and New York 
were taken by the talented Jessica Klewicki Glynn from 

My favorites are the three last images. 

I love the paint color on those walls!










One of these days, my bedroom will look
like the one in the photo above (sigh).
