"Martha I'm Not"

Does anyone have one of those rooms in their house?

You know the ones, when company come you run and

close the door as fast as possible!

Well when you live in a 70's tri level, you know you have

to have at least one!

So come with me while I join everyone at

"Between Naps On The Porch"

for Metamorphosis Monday.

Now I have this laundry room, in the basement, just

kind of one of those rooms that appears to have been

forgotten when the house was built, and one day the

light bulb came on and they said, "Oh No Where Will

We Do The Laundry". Well its seems after they

remembered they might need this room, it kind of got

what ever was left or maybe what ever was on special at

the hardware store!

Now here are the cabinets that are in the room.

Not bad, but a little drab, there are six in this room,

and this is a space I have wanted to give a face lift

since we moved in!

Soooo, I have a little black stain left over from my

kitchen island makeover...

What can it hurt?

 Now what could I do with all those cabinets?

 Well everyone can use some extra dish space!

And then of course if you have pets you always need

space for their things, blankets and all the little goodies.

Now these are the beautiful walls in this room,

gotta love that blue and mauve fake ceramic tile.

Bet some of you remember that! We will be changing

this to some other material believe me!

But for now, I'll hide it!!!!

As much as possible!!!

Now I have always wanted a little craft space.

So just maybe I might be able to use this little side of the

room, instead of the whole house for my crafting!!!

Lets see.....

Might work, I can use one of the hanging drying racks

for ribbon, maybe a little light, sewing machine will

fit. Now there's a little room left for some of my crafting

books.... The wheels are starting to turn!

Want to see what my lamp shade looked like before

she got her new dress? Yes, I said dress! I found

this old dress at the thrift store black and white polka

dots, the dress had a very full skirt, so that meant lots

of material. then while at Hobby Lobby one day, I

found the little fringe things. Works for me!!! I stashed

my glue sticks in a few old blue canning jars, and a

basket for extra sewing supplies.

Now the wheels are still turning, and I have much more

to do, where to store my craft paper, wrapping paper,

and the list goes on and on. So stay tuned!!

And just wait to you see the floor tile, can we say

"Disco Baby"

I have already started to take it up...

I think stained concrete will be the way to go.

Well thanks for visiting. So what do you think?

As I said "Martha I'm Not", she would have had

this room picture perfect a long time ago, so for now

I will have my Sandy space!

Bye For Now,
