My laundry room, or the tiny space that serves as my laundry room, has been in dire need of a spruce-up. Brian and Jacob spent a few hours Saturday installing a counter above my washer and dryer. Brian picked up a piece of melamine to install, since it would not require painting or sanding and would be durable. He placed the counter a few inches above the appliances and installed supports under it with a brace in the middle.
As you can see, it has given me quite a lot of workspace. The small room needs to be painted. I started out painting the room a neutral beige color, but I am not really a fan of the color. Brian is suggesting that I use a bright color or a variety of colors. I’m thinking that I would like to use a color that coordinates with a lovely picture I picked up in Savannah a few years ago. The picture is of “The Bird Girl” statue made famous by the movie and book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. My friend, Michele Green, and I went to Savannah several years ago and had such a ball. I’d like to put the picture in the laundry room and decorate with touches of ivy green. I love the color green, but I don’t want the room to be overwhelmed by it.

The room already feels larger, and I am finding that I am enjoying laundry a tiny bit more. Hopefully, once it’s painted and decorated, I’ll enjoy laundry even more!
Many blessings,
Jennifer
