home goods goodies

tuesdays are my photography classes :)

after class i have a few hours before i pick my boys up from school.

 i usually go get some lunch {a brc burrito from el pollo loco, my favorite}

and then i stop by Home Goods and TJ Maxx that are conveniently next to each other.

here are some of the goodies i have acquired lately.

mr. owl, isn't he cute? i just loved the color, perfect for my laundry room.

this wire market basket, it was the only one there. it now holds my towels in the laundry room.

and this sign

this chicken and the sign were a gift from my sister from home goods.

i absolutely loved this cup with the sweet birdie to hold my jewelry.

as i am looking at all these pictures i realize there is a lot of blue and animal going on
hmm, is that my new trend?

i think i better not make it habit of going to home goods every tuesday.

i may go broke.

but it sure feels good to score a few nice things for the house.

where is your favorite place to shop?

evolution of a laundry room

welcome to our new {old} laundry room

our laundry room is located outside our house in a separate room

kinda like a bonus room, a very spacious one.

this is what the room looked like before if you remember from this post

 wah la {picture me waving a little wand around}

 this is how it looks like now

 our laundry room is finally complete, at least the laundry side of this room.

it is a complete change from this yucky flooring

{kinda embarrassed to show this picture, but gotta keep it real}

 

new clean floors are soo nice

goodbye blue walls

 hello new paint, new washer and dryer, and check out that new light fixture that hubby

fitted with a spray painted medallion to make it beefier, it was a little wimpy.

 new cabinet hubby made, a sink and faucet from ikea were perfect for this utility sink.

detergent looks a lot prettier in a glass container.

my nanita gave me the little washboard.

hubby also made this shelf to cover pipes that were protruding from the wall.

i painted it and gave it a light sanding to look a bit distressed.

i made curtains for the utility sink to hide all the laundry necessities that are not so pretty.

i really liked the way the light fixture looks in this room.

eventually, on the other side of the room, i want to make it my sewing/craft area.
i bought an old desk at the goodwill that i want to refiinsh and paint to add.

 for now i have beautiful clean place where i can air my dirty laundry.
thanks for stopping by.
