Dirty Laundry.... Sign

I'm gonna talk a little dirty.

Dirty laundry that is.

We all make it.

For #1 daughters year-and-a-half-on-going-laundry-room-makeover, I decided the room needed a sign to clarify it's purpose.

The canvas is one of those cheap pre-finished shelves you can pick up at any lumber yard.  They come in wood grained white, a pine color and black.

This black one was a 3 footer and cost $3.99 on sale.

It was cut into three equal pieces to be centered above a laundry room shelf.

First the lettering goes on.

My finish coat will be Maison Blanche La Chaux, a French Lime paint, which needs a base coat first.  Any color Maison Blanche paint will work.

Next the La Chaux White Pepper went on.

The more you work the lime paint, the more texture you can get, which is why I like it for making signs look old.

Really, I've never seen more than a sock sitting around in her laundry room.

I could sure teach her a thing or two about manufacturing dirty laundry.

  7. I've never done up my laundry room. Given that it is part of an addition that went on the house in 1987, I'd say it's about time I got on that. Still has the primer paint on the walls!
