Five years ago, I was watching an HGTV program where they asked the viewers a multiple choice question:
On average how many years do homeowners go before remodeling?
5 years
7 years
10 years
Their answer was a startling 5 years. We had just finished building our new home and I couldn't imagine doing it all over again in just five short years!
But here I am, five years later, and I find myself wanting to change this and remove that. Even though we'd like to do some remodeling, it's just not going to happen right now. I decided to take a less expensive route.
In January, I did some painting-starting with the laundry room. I painted over the bright green walls with a muted green-Prairie Grass by Benjamin Moore.
As soon as I saw
this print, I knew I wanted to hang it in my laundry room.
I've been pining over
this laundry sorter for years now :) My parents gave it to me this last Christmas.
In December [when I had a
HUGE pile of laundry to do right before we left for Mexico] our washing machine refused to work. That weekend, on our anniversary in fact, we ended up buying one that had a lot bigger capacity, which in turn made it much taller than our old one. Bryan had to raise the countertop and
voila! I hear dryers last quite a bit longer than washers..............most likely we'll be mismatched for awhile.
I like having the ironing board hanging on the wall rather than leaning in the corner where it used to be. Now behind the door, it's out of the way.
