Laundry Room Update & Repotted Faux Orchid

Wowza, talk about a busy weekend!  I’ve started planning James’ 2nd birthday party, and if you follow me on Pinterest or Twitter, you’ve probably gathered by now it’s going to be an Elmo party:)  I also worked on several projects around the house, cleaned, did laundry, and finished up gifts for teachers/secretary/hubby/baby Valentine’s Day gifts.   I didn’t make it to Urban Market or the gym, two places I had really high hopes for.  But on to some of the progress around the house . . .

I realized I’ve never shared our laundry room with you, mainly because there’s not much to it- it’s a small space with just enough room for the washer, dryer, overhead cabinets, and a nice granite sink.  I hadn’t done anything to make it pretty since moving in and decided this weekend to fix it up.  I shopped the house to find a Home Goods mirror ($20), an old potted orchid (Pier One), and some scripture wall plaques that my best friend gave me years ago.

 

And after adding the decorative touches:

 

 

I repotted the faux orchid that I purchased ages ago at Pier One.  It originally came in a taupe/brown colored clay pot that I spray painted white during a white-obsessed phase a few years back.  During the holidays, I bought a shiny silver pot at Crate & Barrel, but never got around to doing anything with it.  I like the bigger size and color of the CB pot and ended up repotting my orchid.

 

Adding a mirror, some art, and a faux plant really makes the room much more welcoming.  And don’t we need some welcoming when doing laundry??
Hope y’all have a great week!

  1. I so need to do this! We repainted awhile back and I have yet to add anything decorative to ours. It always seems to be the last place. Love the new pot and the verses!!

  2. That looks fabulous! My laundry room needs a desperate makeover. I found some Elmo themed party stuff for my 2-year-old on your pinterest. I'm excited!

  3. I love what you did with your orchid…I just love orchids…pretty sure I could fill my entire house with them! Your mirror looks great in your laundry room too. I tend to put lots of my kids artwork up in my laundry room – makes it a much more cheery place to be : )

  4. Looks great girl! Love the idea of repotting a fake orchid never thought of that! Can you believe our babies are turning two?? Sterling's birthday party is this Saturday and I need to get on it!

  5. So pretty. . photos look great, too. I am envious that you have a sink in your laundry room. Not sure why they didn't put one in ours. Love your granite in there.
