Before and after laundry room

Here is what I have been working on between one FT and one PT job. It took many many conversations with my husband to convince him to let me paint the ceiling some other color than white.

Guess who won?
He likes how it came out so much that "now" he wants ALL the ceilings in the house painted. WHAT? What have I done??? lol.

I designed this laundry room to have a cozy feeling so that I would "want" to do laundry. Am I ill? Laundry? Who in their right mind "wants" to do laundry? And by the way, no; the room doesn't seem smaller with the darker walls. :)

The fluffy rug provides a soft place to stand on while trying to find matching socks. (I happen to go down the wrong isle in Wally World and found the rug for ten smack-a-roos!)

I swear, I think the my machine eats socks. Where do the mates go?
Knowing my frustrations with matching socks, I found the perfect border.
Lost socks!
