Will it make me WANT to do laundry?

So...hubs says no painting (for now) and even though I loathe white walls...Even I have to concede. I'm TIRED of painting. Especially since we ended up having to paint our kitchen and dining room in the rental because we couldn't get the exact same paint. Did I mention we found renters? Praise the Lord!

So...here's what I've done with my laundry room after stalking hers and realizing that they don't have to look so boring and, well, like a room where work gets done.

The shelf from the previous post got some black paint and with a little help from my computer and clip art, it's now lookin' like this:

Did I ever post the picture of the old washboard? I got it at a yard sale and the grandma there said it was her grandmother's. I couldn't believe she was getting rid of it, but knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!

Now, it looks like this:

I just lightly painted it so all the distress in the wood still shows through. The swirly thingies (technical term there) were still slightly ingrained in the wood so I tried to honor its original beauty (is there such a thing in something that helps you do laundry?) by painting them.

Except for painting the walls and cabinets, this room is DONE. Haha...isn't that the biggest part? Can you tell I'm dragging my feet? I have the paint for the cabinets....just lazy. Or, you know, the mother of four children. Take your pick. Anyway, it's done for now.
