A MAKEOVER FOR THE LAUNDRY ROOM USING NO MONEY!

Hi there , I have been super busy cleaning and painting and sprucing up the laundry room. Unfortunatley my laundry room is connected to the screened in porch its actually a good and bad thing. Its wonderful for swimming because it is also used as a changing room after swimming in the pool or beach so all wet suits are left there in a laundry basket along with all the sand.

So what I did was made a sign from a bolt of muslin that I purchased for a few dollars at the thrift store, I cut some tiny clothes and attached them with a clothes pin and hot glue, I attached to a piece of lattice I had in my shed.

I also hung some mini laundry bags on it actually they were the bags that sheet sets came in. This sign brings back many memories from when I was a child and we were camping they also had lattice behind the sign. We would sit and wait for the laundry eating bags of penny candy, those were fun days!

I had a flat wicker basket that efficiently hold all the laundry items.

I made a skirt out of a brand new twin flat sheet that was given to me to wrap the counter. The counter was covered with a marble heavy contact paper.

I painted the entire cement floor grey , leftover from the lounge port that I recently did over. When it was fully dried I did a stencil in blue then I coated it with sealer.

We even have a change bowl for all the money that every one forgets that they left behind in their pockets. A vintage lunch box holds clothes pins.

A repurposed frame works as a clothes hanger so shirts can be taken from the dryer and hung .

This laundry room is clean and eficiently and actually did not cost me any money I used items that I already had on hand. Take a look around your home and see what you can change and repurpose, have fun!  Thanks for stopping by Sweet Tea N' Salty Air !

 

WELCOME TO SWEET TEA N' SALTY AIR, REMEMBER THE 1.99 FLOUR SACK ?

You remember our Saturday thrift store adventure, well I decided to cut the 1.99 flour sack in half. I have crafted a cute farmhouse towel out of one half the other half I will share later so I am going to call this the 1.00 kitchen towel seeing that it is only half. I simply sewed some ruffle on and did some stenciling.

A real simple sewing project. It is always wise to save all your material scraps no matter how little they may be, you never know when you can use them.


Biscuits & Honey! Yummy, thanks for coming by so I could share one of Saturdays thrift find!

What do you do with a pile of old pants?? Make a sac holder!

Hi there happy you had some time to stop in! We have been having some crazy weather her just the kind that makes you want to cozy up with your sewing machine! I would like to share what I have made today with a pair of my sons old pants. ....

You don't need to be a pro sewer for this project just cut off a leg from the unused pants and sew rough edges sew inside out add handles and maybe some burlap, stencils, bows or what ever you have around in your crafts. This would make a great little hostess gift also. I bought a bag of these cow heads on clearance and have been using them for different fun things. As you have probably figured out that each craft on this blog is done with little or no money investment.

I choose SAC  the French word for bag. This one will be a surprise for my daughter. So gather up your old pants and join me in this craft! Have fun!
