I promise this will be my last laundry room post.
When I chose my laundry room as my first project for the year, I really wanted to get rid of mystuff vintage goodies. But, if you read yesterday's post, you must have noticed I put it all back on the shelf.
While I was reading blogs instead of starting another do on my to do list, I realized how much I didn't want that stuff in there. I only kept it because of the money spent on that collection. I decided that a new look was worth forgetting that past money.
(Are you holding on to clutter for the same reason?)
I knew all I needed was a box and fortunately, there was one waiting for me in the garage. (I say fortunately because today is garbage day.) Unfortunately, it was filled with those darn peanut things.
I brought it in the house so I could put it in a plastic bag - I might need it again, right? Then I remembered I had seen a zipper bag so back out to the garage I went. But then I remembered that bag would be great to store a bedspread.
I digress.
I found a paper bag and put the peanuts in it. (Twenty-five handsful, if anyone was counting.) And, I decided to donate it to the art department when I visit my former school Friday.
Back to the laundry room. I filled up the now empty box, well, it was empty when I started. Now it has all thisjunk vintage stuff.
Here is the clean, uncluttered look I wanted.
Well, it's uncluttered on the days I'm not doing laundry. (How funny that hubby's tshirt matches my new color.)
If you read yesterday's post ~ and I hope you did ~ you must wonder how tshirts made the white hangers. That's because they'll come off the hangers so I can fold them when they're dry.
PS - If anyone wants some vintage goodies, make me an offer. Seriously not kidding.

The Merry Maids and other sprinklers went in the box, too.
Doesn't the window sill look so much cleaner now?
