Is your Laundry Room open 24 hours in your home, Sweet Friends? In my home it sure is. Do you love laundry? It’s not my favorite thing, but making my laundry room pretty was fun!

I was lucky, I got to use my favorite products on this project!

If you missed my post on Tuesday, “Laundry Closet Makeover!” check it out here. I was inspired to makeover my Laundry Closet when a challenge was presented to me. I think the Laundry Closet came out so pretty. I think the laundry sign did the job of making it pretty. What do you think?

I decorated my Shutter Turned Table with all my antique laundry stuff and because next month is February, I decide to show off my “Old Sweater Heart Wreath”, as well.

Wanna learn my tips on how to stencil a laundry sign?

Oh good, cause i’m gonna share the tips with you and give you a tutorial on how to make a laundry sign for your laundry room.

I figure, if the laundry room has to be open 24 hours, then it has to look good, right?

If you missed my video on Wednesday, which showed exactly how to stencil a laundry sign, “Laundry Closet Makeover and a Laundry Sign DIY,” you can watch the video here.

Now, grab a cup of coffee and let’s get started with the tutorial.
