Last week was kind of an interesting week…I had a lot of free time, but since my main sewing machine was in the shop I concentrated on some projects that had been on “the list” for awhile. First I made some Composition Book cover and sunglass case sets (these had already been cut out and have just been sitting). I think they will be great to have on hand for gifts.
Once you start making those book covers…you can’t stop. Since I had never made one for me, I ordered the label from Sweetwater that coordinates with their new Lucy’s Crab Shack fabric to make myself one.
And…last week I finally got the courage to repaint my laundry room. Here are a couple of “before” pictures. My old laundry room was kind of blah, boring…things just put in there to decorate that “kind of” went together. For a couple of years I’ve been wanting to paint it aqua…so with the husband at work and my son at football camp…I finally decided to take the plunge!
Notice the very wavy border on the America quilt above…this was one of my first quilts ever…most of the points are chopped off, and the border is so wavy since I really didn’t know what I was doing. But I love this quilt. I smile everytime I see it because it reminds me that once upon a time I had the courage to start a new hobby and keep at it!
And here are the “now” photos. I haven’t really decided what is going on the walls yet, but I’ve started with a few things. I have to say, I love the aqua…it seems like my laundry room was always supposed to be this color…isn’t that funny…color is amazing! My laundry room is at the end of a hallway, and I have been smiling for a week every time I look in!
My family thinks I’m a little silly…but I think I could live in an almost entirely aqua house. I won’t really paint everything aqua…but my sewing room will definitely be this color before the end of the summer!
I want this room to be simple, but I wanted to bring in a few things I love, too.
The large aqua jar is a recent purchase from Home Goods, but the bud vase was my great-Grandmother’s (she must have loved aqua, too!)…and the little bluebird was a gift from my grandmother several years ago.
Last, but not least…here is this week’s giveaway for my 4-year Blogiversary celebration…it’s a Layer Cake of Moda’s Collection for a Cause, Friendship. Just leave a comment on this post, and I’ll pick a winner this weekend.
PS…My machine is back and sewing wonderfully…nothing was wrong…but what a difference a good cleaning and oiling makes!
Thanks so much for stopping by…have a wonderful week!

My house was built in the mid-60s and my sink, cooktop and wall oven are aqua. I NEVER thought I would like it, but I've grown to love it. Now I'm afraid one of the appliances will break and the aqua will have to go! Congrats on having the courage (and empty house!) to paint your laundry room the color you wanted!
hiyacinth says
Bravo for a great endeavor–I really admire the color and the effort in painting! Every time I've decided to paint, I've regretted it! Not the results, just the process!

Love the book cover and the laundry room! I just repainted mine too! I cleared everything out and gave it a simple look. Really helps me to do the laundry! There are so many book cover tuts out there. Did you use a specific one? Also, love your blog header! What photo program did you use? I have not found one I really enjoy. Thanks for the great ideas!
Janet says
I like the bookcover and glasses case set. I also love aqua, My sewing room has always been that colour, even when it was called duck egg blue. Now we have 3 bathrooms and cloak room in it as well.

I love the laundry, not really but your room is lovely. I am currently looking in the face of at least ten loads of laundry for today. You know it is bad when you can not put together any outfits. Congrats also making it to four years, you are awesome.
Cyndi says
Getting your machine cleaned is a bit like getting your car washed. I always swear the car drives better when it's clean. And my sewing machine purrs after its' been cleaned.
Love the aqua — I think it looks like the beach.
mtaylor944 says
I like the color! My sewing room is also the laundry room and with no windows, I keep a small fan in there for when I'm burning thru the stash! I finally picked up a can of aqua colored spray paint and I'm gonna paint the fan, just for the pure fun on it. Will be nice to add a little more color to my room.
(Thinking now that I might need to paint the whole room. hehe)
sincerely yours says
Your aqua walls are beautiful and so restful! And the aqua glassware looks wonderful by the sink. I'm always so awed by your quilting … can't imagine how you accomplish so much!

Love the aqua laundry room! Its one of my favorite colors; almost makes me want to strip the wallpaper off my laundry room walls and paint, but just am not up for that right now! LOVE the fabric-I used one of the reds from the line for a wallhanging border.
Bari Jo says

Love what you did to your laundry room! I've been wanting to paint this summer and haven't had a chance to..you've definitely inspired me to get going 🙂 OH and Happy Blogiversary!
LindseyAnne says
I love your comments on the America quilt – there's hope for us all (speaking as a novice quilter) – and I think it looks great, wavy border and all – full of character.

Beautiful shade of aqua.
🙂 I have one of those bluebirds! A gift from DH years ago with a sweet card about happiness and all that…. sigh.
And your sewing room will be aqua, too?… mmmm, can't wait to see it!
Happy Blogiversary!

A few years back we decided we were going to downsize and had a large auction in preparation to sell our house and get to traveling in our 5th wheel. Housing market failed and here we still are. I have never redecorated the walls in my house again. Maybe soon we will be able to sell it for its value. Love what you did with your laundry.
Prima Donna says
I love your little quilt. The waves just give it character. The aqua was a great color choice, too.
Sharon says
Loving aqua right now too. Not sure if I always have and just realized it because it's so popular now, but tiffany blue is probably my favorite! I also like that you have your first project still hanging and can appreciate the symbol it represents 🙂

It's great that a room we spend much time working in can look nice too. My laundry room is in an unfinished basement, so for now I'll just have to admire yours.

So glad you got your machine back. I love aquas too, and turquoise…or really almost any shade of blue lol
It looks great!
Linda says
I just love the color of your laundry room! My laundry room is a closet, literally only as wide as the washer and drier. What I wouldn't give for a "room" that I could make "oh so pretty". Enjoy your new space. At least it should make "laundry" a little easier to do!
Thanks for the opportunity to win.

Love the color aqua too. I'm planning on making some of those note book covers for my teacher friends for back to work gifts in August.
Daisy says
When I got married for the 2nd time 16 years ago my dress was that color with little aqua pearls on it. Our bedroom carpet was that color and so were my kitchen counters. To this day I still love aqua. Thanks for the chance to enter.

Marla Nelson says
Painting takes alot of work. My husband and I have been spending the winter renoventing the kitchen. We had it almost done before we went back to work, now will have to wait to finish this winter. We are on the road all summer. I love your sight and enjoy seeing what you are working on. Love the baby quilt.
Chris says
The aqua color is so soothing! Your little vase form your grandmother is so sweet sitting there, I really like all the accessaries in the aqua color too. Now that I see your laundry room I may try that color in my laundry room. 🙂 We are planning on doing some inside painting in August, that color has always been one of my favorites; and since I HAVE to be in that room A LOT…why not have a color in there that I LOVE! 🙂 I always enjoy seeing your ideas, it gives me so much inspiration!! Hey, I just realized there was a give away connected to this post, I really didn't know that when I started to put in this comment. But thanks for the chance to win some fabric as well.

I love your aqua laundry room! It's so bright and cheery. When I get my new sewing room, that's what color I'm going for, too. 😉
I bought a couple kits for making some of those journals, too. I think they will be #7 and #8 for me! LOL. But I couldn't resist in Lucy's Crab Shack and I love the new labels!
