tour de laundry room

relatively soon after we moved into this house, i painted the laundry room a pretty light (but bright) turquoise blue, before and after's below

much better, don't you think?

but....

still not quite right.

so, in my thrift-ing endeavors i began collecting these

antique jello molds!

i have no idea why i was so fascinated with them,

but i think they're great

so, here they are friends, my jello mold room!!!

(above)walking into the laundry room,

(below) then the left wall

(i've got a thing for pigs.... don't ask)

(below) the right wall

i just need one more to finish it

and the back wall (below)

and back around to the left wall

i love the look of the metallic tins on the bright wall,

i totally believe in making rooms fun

 if at all possible!!!

i even caved, originally i refused to

 purchase any jello mold

that was a creature of the sea (lobster, fish, etc....)

but then i saw this guy

and i don't know why, but he was cute...

so, now i have 2 fish and a lobster.

chalk it up to being allowed to change your mind,

 i guess

this is my favorite, its a bit pinkish

and a ring of roses... i just think its dainty and frilly

i think they're great,

and i'm having so much fun finding them!!!

happy wednesday

 (which also happens to be

laundry day at the swoff-house)
