With some hard work and a significant period of time, we turned our drab gray laundry room into an absolutely beautiful (and functional) antique dream. #interiordesign #homedecor #homerenovation #antique

There is something called hemming tape. It requires no sewing! I think it would be perfect for your laundry curtian 🙂

Love it! Love that younger people are gravitating towards a more traditional, classic look and getting rid of the "grey box" look! I've seen enough white farmhouses (and black and white themes...ugh) to last me a several lifetimes! Beautiful classic colors...so pretty! Also embracing the homey, simple look as opposed to trying to make your house look like a glam/high end/shiny/latest trend...bravo!
@SimplifyingTheSathernsАй бұрын
Thank you! I’ve always loved that kind of look. My hope is that this will prove to be a timeless style that I continue to enjoy enough to where I’ll never want to redecorate haha.

I was thinking the extra striped fabric would make for good liners for the baskets in your laundry room. You will have to get out your sewing machine to make those, but since you have kiddos it's not a bad skill to pick back up. I had to pick it up when my kids were teenagers so I could make costumes for them. They now have a couple Jedi robes, a Jedi outfit, a ranger cloak, and Hobbit cloak they can use even as adults. I mostly knit now, but I'm itching to get back to sewing again.
@SimplifyingTheSatherns2 ай бұрын
I do really like that idea for basket liners and I'll add that to my list of "things I'd like to do.. but realistically probably wont" haha. That's so nice you were able to make fun costumes for them.. and bonus that they can still use them! I'd be ok if I ended up being able to be that kind of mom for my boys. 😊 In the meantime... I'm very seriously considering using hem tape to get that cabinet skirt actually finished. 😅

We use the lint when we’re getting fires going in the house and it works pretty well! We still burn other things to get it going but if I don’t have any junk mail (a rare occurrence😅) some lint in a toilet paper tube works wonderfully. Basically if we can burn, compost or recycle something we try to do that before throwing it away. 😂

Love the entire room ! I think you set us up for Granny Chic with that robe 😁 I have the same candy dishes (from my mom, granny & aunt) that I repurpose & I love that you are using that. Also I repurposed one of my inherited decanters for my husbands mouthwash. And now I'll have to put one in the laundry room. The striped fabric is perfect ! I used my grannies aprons as curtains, but now they're just hanging in the guest room for my grands to use as "super capes".

@SimplifyingTheSatherns2 ай бұрын
Sometimes it’s stressful, but I agree with you, they appreciate it differently. Plus, I want to accept any offer for help when they’re willing! 😅 Did you ever feel nervous when letting them choose color? Jackson has free rein of his room decor but we haven’t painted. The time I had mentioned painting his room he said red and I dropped the topic. 😅 Now I feel bad and should at least compromise with one wall. 🤪
@tinabennett85242 ай бұрын
We have four sons grown now, with grandsons. I’m new here, but appreciate the little ones being involved. We did this as well. Sometimes the desire is short lived, but let them know they are welcome to help when you have a job the right size. When they want to help, and it’s a job they can’t do, find something like, answering the phone or bringing snacks, and drinks. These rover jobs still make them feel like big boys, and we don’t want paint on the phone and cabinets 😉 As to the color choices, I’ve seen that others have yielded one wall of color too, however for me it would depend on the continued livability of a color. In my experience, giving options of paint colors worked well. If he likes red, because of a favorite sports team, or tractor, etc. show him how the neutral is going to make the red stand out, pillows, curtains, bedcovers and maybe artwork , wallpaper or lamp. Children are like sponges for information, teach him what you’ve learned.thank you so much, for sharing and bringing us into your home.
