Laundry room make over that's what!
I repainted all walls bright white. And took one piece of plywood (in pretty good shape) and cut it to fit the width and the length of the washer-dryer and decoupaged vintage paper onto the top and sides.
On occasion the paper bubbles up and it did here as well. So I popped the bubbles and let the wood shine through. I sanded it all down and gave it two more coats of deco glue.
ta-ta-dah! Free folding table. Not granite. Mine. It pleases me to look at it. And what better place to stand in the gap of prayer
and fold laundry while looking at the smiling faces of my family. :)
And the ironing board door and husband bench technique? Wait? What? What the heck is a husband bench? Before malls and when shopping was a dress up outing it was a common sight to see a row of husbands sitting outside the store fronts conversing with other husbands or beaus to be waiting to carry their ladies packages.
Inspired my my gram's use of black glossy paint everywhere when that was the only color available to her back in the day. All good and loved things chip and each mark is a memory. So here too is an instant antiqued memory.
Items used:
The wainscoting = pallet boards sanded, painted and liquid nails attached.
Bench my husband made = Spray paint, sander, heat gun.
Folding table = Plywood, wrapping paper, decoupage.
