I told you last week about our laundry "room" down in the basement. I can't really paint in there, I have a huge water heater in there, too. So, I'm doing my best to make due with what I have and work around it! I have attempted to cover up my eye-sore water heater with a lamp I found in another room and a doilie I found in my linen closet. I have a phone down here because when I'm down there I can't hear the phone, so this helps a bunch!

Well, I found these neat decal-type stickers at Target and used them to look like tiles over the washing machine under the basement window.
 |
| I love how they look like tile and help hide some more uglies! |
I also found {while cleaning out the basement} a bulletin board {really, I have no idea where it came from} and spray painted it with leftover paint and then used the rest of the stickers from the kit from Target and some ribbon I found to spruce it up - hey, it's hiding ugly, copper pipes so I'm happy to have something to hide stuff!

| I'll do anything to hide those pipes! |
About a year ago I found this great shelving system at Ikea - got the whole thing for under $100 and put it together. You can make it different sizes.
 |
| You can see {on RT} my washer and dryer are split up and there is my laundry room sink and shelf system in between. |
I have my t.p. and paper towels on top, extra cleaning supplies under that {yes, that is a Tiffany's box I got from a fundraiser but it was too pretty to put in a closet}, my laundry supplies on the next shelf down, then my hubby took our old kitchen TV and put it on the bottom shelf with my iron/ironing supplies {snicker, snicker} and my dog washing supplies {since I bathe him in the basement sink}.

Well, that about wraps up the tour of my laundry "room". What do you think? Yes, it's interesting. I even have a pole to hang my laundry that I rigged up to the frig/freezer to a spot on the steps! It's not elaborate, but it's certainly much nicer than before and it functions well for me!
