I'm an Art Thief

I hate Laundry!  I thought maybe if made my laundry room pretty, I would hate it less.  I needed some pretty stuff for the walls, so I stole them:
First I stole these vintage laundry tip prints from BHG( click here to download a set of your own). Then I stuck spray painted some frames from the dollar store.






Then I stole this cute saying from Artsy VaVa.  I stole a piece of scrap wood from my Dad's stash, stained it, painted it, stenciled it and sanded it again.  I tied on some pretty ribbon, because I am a girl and that's what we do.
Here they are hanging on the wall. (this was really hard to take a picture of-it's a long skinny room).
Come back tomorrow for the big laundry room reveal.
(I still hate laundry-but the room makes me happy)

    I am flattered that you liked my sign enough to make one for yourself! You did a great job on it too!!!

    LOL! I love that sign. I hate folding laundry myself so I can't count the number of times I've started folding a fitted sheet, stepped back only to reveal a tangled lump that would give Martha Stewart fits, and eventually just shoved the whole mess into a matching pillow case with the hope no one would be inspecting my linen closet any time soon. This sign must find a home in my house now. XD Looks like the stealing circle is going strong. Heh.

    Love that sign. I just watched a video this week on folding those darn things. Nope - I still couldn't do it!

    Cute! I love the prints, very fun. And the colors are bright and cheery---who wouldn't want to do laundry in there? ;)

    Folding fitted sheets is for people who don't have adventures! Well, OK. If I actually got one folded right, I would be really excited! ;-) 'Love your laundry room! -Marci

    Haha, love this post. I don't hate laundry, I just hate that it is the most taken-for-granted-that-I-worked-on-that job. I can manage to find, fetch, wash, dry, and fold it, and then it stays in the basket only to end up all unfolded as it gets pawed through instead of someone just putting it away!! ;)

    Good job, and good luck. I hope your art helps motivate you!

    I finally finished my vintage laundry tips. They look exactly like yours--red frames! I love them and they make me smile every time I go into my laundry room!

    Oh my gosh those frames directions are hilarious. I might need some for my laundry room:) Too bad mine is in the garage though. I love it!
