Do you want to hear about a Christmas miracle? Not the one in the manger, the one in my laundry room. Do you remember my laundry room? I started to spruce up the concrete floor in there almost exactly a year ago today. Things didn't go well and it has been on hold for a year. Yes, one stinking year!! But this weekend I got a bee in my bonnet and got to work..
I had made several attempts during the year to pick a design for the floor, but nothing seemed right until I hit on a modified chevron pattern. Let the taping begin...
Thank goodness Bill was willing to help and I didn't even have to cry or beg!! We got it taped off and painted in the same day. Can you stand it?
Almost there!!
It's finished!! It is a Christmas miracle!!!
And I LOVE it!!! I almost hate to move the washer and dryer and other junk back in. Of course, they are sitting in my breakfast nook which is just not working for me.
Today I am tired and sore but happy. I think it was worth the wait. What do you think?
I think you are a genius. I can NOT tell you how much I love it. And gray? Don't get me started...donna
ReplyDeleteLooks freaking amazing. A floor Mary McDonald would be proud of. Absolutely love it, now I want to chevron something!
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow! I recently painted stripes and could barely get my head around that! This looks amazing and I appreciate the work that went into it!
ReplyDeleteLove! Wish I had a laundry room...I would definitely put chevron stripes on the floor!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!! Love. Great job! And props to your husband for helping. I usually have to beg & bribe too :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! Might be a little jealous. Great job!
ReplyDeleteToo good to talk about. All the clothes in my house would be clean all the time, because I would live in the laundry room to look at the floor!

ReplyDeleteLooks amazing!!! Love the grey and white combo!!! Good work!
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing. And you know what? It's better not to rush a project when you're not sure. You just end up with regrets and/or second guessing.

ReplyDeleteIN love with a laundry room floor! Seven words I never thought I would say! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThat looks so fantastic!!!! Definitely worth the long wait cause it will make laundry fun :)
ReplyDeletelooks great! Make sure the paint is 110% dry so you don't ruin your Christmas miracle!!
ReplyDeleteAmazing job Sissie. Woohoo. Oh the color and pattern makes me smile. If I lived close, I might volunteer to do your family's laundry.
ReplyDeleteI have painted a few floors in my day (some quite large) and there is no way around an achy body. I finish up a job and feel like a am 102 years old...nothing that a glass of wine and an Advil can't cure. :)
Off the charts...love, love, love it! Job well done. Happy holidays to you!
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing...love the gray and how exciting to get it finished before Christmas!! Isn't getting started the hardest part?!
