My laundry room is really more of a laundry closet in the ken. Its walls are in desperate need of painting, the shelves begging for a good cleaning. And so this weekend I decided to put pieces of scrapbook paper on the walls to cover some of the dings and smudges. I purged much of what was on the shelves. And it looks very quaint. I have a lone light bulb in the ceiling and am wondering what to use as a decorative cover. Any ideas?
"Our house was not unsentient matter — it had a heart and a soul, and eyes to see with; and approvals and solicitudes and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benedictions. We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out in eloquent welcome — and we could not enter it unmoved."- Samuel Clemens
I am probably the most content person you'd ever want to meet. I have a decent job working with people I like, a loving family including a swell Old English Sheepdog, a home where nesting and curling up on slipcovered sofas is required, and a life rich in creative crafting and daydreaming. I someday want a cottage at the beach where my grandchildren can bring sandy feet into the house, wet bathing suits can dry on the front porch and everything we need to get to is a bicycle ride away.

Wow! It looks great. What about just using a pretty lampshade on the light bulb?

I love what you've done in the laundry room. That scrapbook paper looks so cute and almost would make doing laundry fun.
We put a new light in our laundry room when Hud put up the beadboard last year. I'll send you a picture of it. It kind of dressed it up.
Hugs, Gretchen
Hey, cute light-switch! I miss hugging you too :(
