Today I'm repurposing an old project that was no longer serving our needs. I was looking around for a large basket to create a laundry bin for our basement laundry makeover and I came across a wire basket I had used for another DIY project.  

I'm celebrating a new washer and dryer with hand-made laundry signs.

It's a new day and I'm making another sign but this one is not made on old wood, look closely,  it's actually brand new wood.  

Driftwood is beautiful and is free reclaimed  wood for projects.

Adding wheels to your laundry basket not only saves your back... it's adorable!

This is my bathroom door... I made this sign several years ago.

Today I'm making a "laundry" sign and a sign for my craft room/office that says "create".

First I painted a board black, let it dry and printed out the word "laundry" on the computer using a font and a size that worked with the size of the board.
Next, using graphite paper, I traced around each letter and painted the letters white with acrylic craft paint.



Using a medium grade sand paper when the paint was dry, I sanded down the letter…

This fun sign technique was inspired by a sign I saw while out to dinner. 

Not a great pic but you get the idea. 
It says GRATITUDE and I am very grateful for this unique inspiration!

I started out with a board and an old book of newspaper headlines called Page One. 
I've been using this book that I found at a garage sale for years but you can use a regular newspaper.


I'm using the decoupage technique I told you about a while back in this story.  

To recap, I coated the board with a coat of Ultra Grip and let it d…

I decided I needed to update a laundry basket I recently found on the side of the road. 

If you have an old basement with the laundry downstairs like me, you may want ideas to update and refresh your space.  This project has been on my mind for years and now that I finally got around to it, I am thrilled! 

We live in a 60 year old colonial with a basement that we never refinished.
My laundry and my workshop are in the basement so I spend a lot of time down there.

Today I'm going to repaint the cement floor and create inexpensive ideas to give our basement a facelift. 
After finally updating our garage and painting the floor, I was on a roll so started this project as soon as I finished the last one. 
I began by piling everything f…

I found a cute set of round wooden boxes with lids at the thrift store recently. 
I stained the boxes and gave them knobs for handles but then realized I could do more. 
Using a fun tin ceiling tile from the dollar store and gave these cute little boxes an easy and amazing makeover! 
Take a look...

A cute little tote for the laundry room.

If you've been following along for a while you know I love to make pumpkins that are repurposed from something else. 
I actually love repurposing everything but pumpkins are my favorite. 
Today, you're gonna laugh! 
I may have taken it too far this time but I love the way they turned out! 
Take a look and let me know what you think!
