As any Mother can tell you we spend most of our time in the laundry room/area. I hate laundry and by hate I mean loathe.






Last year hubby tiled one half of my laundry room (because I do the laundry ~ every piece of it). It took a week but he got it done to my specifications.




I loved it so much I wanted the other side of the room done as soon as possible. I'm not sure why we didn't have it done at the same time but I'm pretty sure it had something to do with not being able to do laundry for a week if we proceeded.






This summer I moved the project to the top of the list. I am so glad I did. It doesn't get any more laundry done any faster of course but it sure does look great!

March is just around the corner and for many of you reading this on Monday it's already here. I have a secret. March is one of my favorite months. Why? Well there's the obvious celebration of St. Patrick's Day. Second, typically Spring starts to show itself around here.

See, after a long winter in the Midwest I can have quite the Spring 'to do' list. Last year adding tile to the laundry room was top on the list. I know, I know, typically the laundry room is the last place you want to spend any amount of money much less time ~ right? I'm with you but as a Mom most of my day is spent either in the laundry room, kitchen or office. I am also a firm believer in creating areas within your house where you can feel happy at home. Given that I loathe 'the laundry' and therefore creating a inviting laundry room is a must.


As many of you know hubby is quite handy and loves to have the satisfaction of a project done by himself. Here are some pictures of the preparation.


We've got tile, levels, pitchers of water, the vacuum, mud, towels and buckets ... everywhere. See the sink? It is so deep it holds a 5 gallon bucket. Perfect for washing our little noise maker.




After a couple of days here's the end result - He does pretty good work huh?
I have some mini blinds on the window with a chocolate valance and above the sink is a small wall mirror framed in brushes nickle. We ended the project here because we are cash operation and the cash was out.

This spring I am eyeing up getting the walls behind the washer & dryer area done. So what's on your 'to do' list this spring?
