Thoughts From the Laundry Room
I have a scrap room. I love it. I'd love to paint it up funky. However, it's right in the middle of the basement. With only a half wall separating it. So, unless I want to do the entire basement funky (um, no), I can't really go too far with it.
However, my laundry room is another story. It is separate from the rest of the basement, and even has swinging bar doors. So, I can go wild in there. I've been thinking about what I wanted to do in there since we moved in 2 years ago. Right now it's a revolting red white and blue stripe with hideous cabinets. I was originally going to do it in pinks and purples and fairies and sunshine, since I don't get to do too much girly stuff with 4 boys. Then I redid Lauren's room. I think that fixed the pink and purple urges. I also have a purple stairway. Love it.
So, I got to thinking. I have a Cherry Arte earpiece. I was sitting in the bathroom at Borders yesterday thinking that if I replaced the fronts of those toilet paper dispensers with Basic Grey, it would look way better. You get the idea. If it doesn't move, alter it. If it does move, chase it down and kill it first. So, maybe I can model my laundry room after one of my favorite scrapbook lines! It would be easy enough to match the paint colors, and then I could frame the papers as art work. No more freaking out about cutting into it, as it would be right there! I'm really quite brilliant, wouldn't you agree? (Even though I so totally stole the framing paper idea.)
The big question is... WHICH line? My 3 favorites are Cherry Arte, Gin-X and Scenic Route. I can't really do Cherry Arte since they broke my heart last week. ;) I'd hate to have to cry every time I walked into my laundry room. I don't really want to be in there as it is! I love the new Scenic Route stuff, but I'm not sure it's as FUN as I'd like. So, it's going to be Gin-X.
Now I just have to settle on a line. Or should I wait til after CHA??? What if there's one I like better? I probably won't get this done til July, so it could probably wait til August if need be.
I think this is the one:
How fun is that????
I love this one, too.

So, what do YOU think? :)

Are you speaking in a foreign language? Seriously.... I have no clue what you were talking about.
Other than the fact that you used a public restroom. EWWWWW. lol
i like the 2nd one for the pattern and the 1st one for the colors... can you swing that?
I too really like the second one. You are going to have to share when you do it.
I just found your blog so can't wait to keep reading.

I totally ditto what Lora said. I like the 2nd one for the pattern and the first for the colors. :)

I like the treehouse colors and I think it would look nice framed in the room!
