This is a post I did over 2 years ago..I just thought I would share it once again as I have some new followers Thanks guys..Also I really don't have alot to post right now as I have not been doing much at my house these past few months..
My tool kit had to redo all the walls in here...What a mess with all that sheet rock sanding...I really did look like "Casper the friendly Ghost " Does anyone remember Casper or am I just dating myself once again ha ha!!
My newest wringer I got from from my favorite Antique shop in Gardnerville, Nv Cheshire Antiques the same place I got my Candy Cabinet from...To see my Candy Cabinet click Here...
I shopped my house and found these plates (under the bed) and being there were red just knew I could put them on this wall...Painted an old frame red to make them Pop more...
My olden soap box collection...L♥ve these...These are still full
A few of my old irons...
My "boot saver" rack I use to hang clothes hangers on.
Another pillow duster...
I love the way Tool kit did this window for me...adds much needed light...![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTZWtTTX3wajISCHfT1-E-UQBpuXPQZfFzWiDEB0aBvsz_Q8lbISDGa_wpglCHzhP-MG3bOH2MgNQA7f3HOOmaLOKLuLBJFSg_WAPC2O8AW-4MnM1H8Zk_u2zVSeMLN5fPw3Gf19JEvRU/s800/Laundry+room+%283%29.JPG)
I call this my "Little House on the Prairie" bonnet ha ha!! That's my old Sassafras broom hanging from a horse collar hanger... Girls I have had this broom for over 20 years and still use it every day...It cost more than one from the Dollar store but will tell you it's so worth the $$...

Tool Kit also added one of my old glass door knobs to the outhouse bathroom door and trimmed it all out to match...

One day I will show you my outhouse bathroom...if you promise not to laugh!! I know I'm so weird but I have always loved things that I don't see in other peoples house...told you I march to a guitar with a few strings missing ha ha!! I still have 2 rolls of the paper left so I think I'll redo my outhouse with it...

This bead board wall paper was so easy to put up and it does look and feel like the real stuff at half the cost and time... I love that I can paint it if I get tired of the white.
Looking in from my living room...This laundry room/hallway was one of the first addition we did to this one room cabin...if you're like to see how it started click here...
Until next time from my mountain to yours,

Cool tool kit, Gloria! I guess I could get more done around my house if I added "kit" to what I call him sometimes! ; )
I don't remember if I saw this post two years ago, Gloria, but I love the idea of the plates on the wall and then a frame over them. Do you still have that up?
Hi Gloria! I am glad you did a repost because as a newer follower it is one that I have not seen before. Love it- you did a great job there! xo Diana

How fun, Gloria! "Tool Kit" did a great job! lol I love that toile topper and, of course, those red transferware plates in the frame! So clever! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!...hugs...Debbie
Love your laundry room. You have some of the neatest things in there. I may have seen it before, but I loved seeing it now. I just finished my laundry room, and so wish I had some older vintage things in there.
A post definitely worth repeating! You have the most adorable laundry room. Love it still!

Hi Sis...
I loved getting a peek into that pretty laundry room again...thanks for posting it! Girl, that beadboard wallpaper is sooo pretty...love it! Hey...do you still have that gorgeous red toile valance up on your door? Oooh...you know how I love toile! I really do love your "olden" laundry room! Loved getting to see all of the antique washing paraphanalia...awesome!!!
Hmmm...I do know what is different now, though! No more outhouse bathroom! Hehe! Did you guys get your bath remodel finished yet? I'm really anxious to see it! Loved the photos that you've shared so far!!!
How are you doing, Sis? Hope that all is well in your neck of the woods. I'm doing better...finally broke down and went to the Drs. on Monday. Sure enough...they put me on steroids again for the bronchitis...they sure do help. You guys have a terrific weekend...
Love you so much!

Gloria, what a fabulous post! Let me tell you, my friend, if I had a laundry room that looked like yours, I wouldn't ever complain about doing laundry again.
Your collection of soap boxes is wonderful and I love the old irons. The toile and plates are so perfect together!
It's all simply gorgeous!
I enjoyed this so much. I've wanted a soap box collection for years. Where do you find yours.
well thanks for reposting so I got to see it!!
Gloria could your laundry room BE any cuter?!...I think not!! My jaw dropped at that toile curtain! And that really does look like a Little House on the Prairie cap! Or Holly Hobbie! *winks* Love it! Actually I love everything...once again..Even your darn laundry room is better than any room in my house *winks*...No fair! Lol! Vanna
Gloria,
I so enjoy seeing your rooms in your amzing home!!
LOVE this room and EVERYTHING in it!!
I especially adore the red transferware dishes in the frame on the wall. And the mason jar lamp. LOVE that lamp shade!!
It is always such a pleasure to visit with you and gaze at all of your wonderful eye candy!!
Hugs,
Deb

You are such a good seamstress and it seems if you want something..NOT a problem. You just whip it up on your sewing machine.
I don't remember this post but it sure is a nice one!!!
Everything looks good. You always have a great post. Have a blessed evening. Madeline

shelia ;)
What a fun place to do laundry....you have a mighty cute room here.:)
I have wanted one of the beautiful olden wringers for years. I stalked ebay but never could find one I could afford. Yours is really neat.
Hope you are getting stronger ea day,sister friend. You have really had a time of it all. Time to start feeling stronger and better and ....
get out there and buy some more neat stuff for your cute house.:)
Love and kisses, bj
Gloria, I remember this post and all of your wonderful old treasures in this room. I had so much fun seeing them again. I also remember your whistle. I thought I'd find one for myself, but I've never seen a beauty like yours, and I'm sure no dinky little whistle would do the job at my house. You have collected such unique and wonderful things. I'm always amazed when I see your fab collections. Hope you are doing well, my sweet friend. Hugs, laurie
Your tool kit does a beautiful job. I have not tried the bead board wall paper but it is on my list. I love the way your room turned out. makes it so much fun to wash the dirty cloths. I wish I had a tool kit, as i have lots of projects that need a doing. miss ya. hope all is well and spring is coming.Richard from My old Historic House.
Hi Gloria: I just found your blog after following French Country Cottage and I liked what I saw! Tool Belt!! I've got one of those, but wasn't smart enough to give him that name first. I once dated a guy who had a white Mercury named Casper! Used to watch him on cartoons. The ghost not the guy! Come over and visit at the Cottage..Judy
you know that you are killing me!!! I have an unfinished mess of a room to do laundry in!!! bare cement walls and floor!!! ugly!
I love this room mom...all of your posts are always sharing something to add to my list!!! You have such great taste and creative ideas...I just love your home!
I think if I had a room like this for my washer and dryer...I might not hate doing laundry so much!
Love you sweet mom!!! missing you lots and hope you are resting as much as you can!!!
xoxo
Thanx for sharing an older post Gloria! I love all of your antiques and you have to get ya some more Roos and just hide um when she comes over!;)
I need me one of those tool kits, Gloria, lol.I love all your antiques and vintage items. You have the neatest collections....Christine
Good grief girl...you got quite a treasure trove just in that laundry room. Your stuff is amazing...and so is your tool kit. Mine is just that...a tool!
If you're ever in Texas bring that guitar. I'll accompany you with my spoons!
Deb
Your laundry room is just terrific, filled with fun treasures. Mine, it's filled with laundry!
Love your "tool kit" and am glad to hear it works for you even though you have to keep a stock of them on hand!
Looking forward to seeing your outhouse. Now that's probably not something you hear every day..
Love this post Gloria.
Did you get the note I sent via Facebook, about the camera?
