When I showed you my wine/bar cabinet makeover, I said it had been in my laundry room. So many of you asked how in the world was this piece in the laundry room. So I thought maybe I should do a re-post to give you a peak where it use to be. Can you see the wine cabinet on the right?
My laundry room is really a hall that leads from the garage to the house, plus it has to pull double duty as a place for my craft things, the second refrigerator, and currently unused decor storage. Wow, that’s a big order for such a small space.
Standing in the hall, (it’s hard to get a picture), you can see the fridge, and washer/dryer on the left with a wine cabinet and white craft cabinet on the right. Definitely not room for anyting else.
This is a really old fridge and my washer/dryer are old too, but they all funcion beautifully, so I am not getting rid of them yet. The fridge has a collage of pictures of my grands that always gives me a smile when I see them.
I need storage, so above the fridge is a great place for my little wooden childs wagon. It holds my dad’s old toolbox full of sunflowers. There’s also a few other accessories not currently in use.
The cabinets above the washer/dryer store some of my pitchers and roosters not in use.
I love my W A S H knobs on the doors. So fun.
On the right side as you enter, you see a small wine cabinet, it holds a few bottles we have for company dinners and even more accessories that I need to store when not in use in the rest of the house. Next to that is a cabinet that holds my sewing machine and craft supples.
I have a ton of things on the walls that mean something to me, just no where else to hang them. These are all things that I have fond memories of finding with a dear friend or things my mom and I made, such as the quilt blocks.
My collection of old irons is on the craft cabinet.
More memories on the wall. I think I just about covered every square inch.
The wine cabinet not only holds wine, but it’s a great place to roll up placemats that you aren’t using and slide them into the wine slots.
That’s a lot for one small space to carry off, but it works beautifully.
I like being in this little room, it is fun to see memories all around
me.
I really enjoy my laundry/craft room, but I do think the wine cabinet looks so much better in the breakfast room.
So, does your laundry do double duty too?
