My Cottage Powder/Laundry Room!!!!!

Believe it or not.....

I have even more rooms to show you guys!!!!!

Today is the day to show off my powder room.

When I bought my condo, it was a three bath home.

I'm one person.

I only have one body.

I don't need three places to wash it.......

So in my master bath I have a shower stall.

In my upstairs guest bath I have a tub.

THAT'S ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!

So in the downstairs hall/guest bath, I took out the shower stall and converted it over to my laundry room.

After living 27 years in my Watertown home with the laundry in my dark, dank, apt to flood basement.....

I had a fantasy of a laundry room on the first floor near my bedroom.

IT IS HEAVEN!!!!!

IT IS HEAVEN!!!!!

IT IS HEAVEN!!!!!

So,

Now I am going to show it off!!!!!

I used the same slate floor as my entry.

I found a nice piece of slate for the counter top.

I used the largest Kohler Paxton sink,

 as this was also going to be used as a laundry sink.

AND THEN.....

I sprinkled a few dogs around......

 Just a few.....

I really don't have a problem.....

EVERY ONE IS NECESSARY!!!!!

 What's the point of having a mirror, if you can't put a dog head on it????

Ya know????

I feel this is an important addition. 

HE NEEDED TO GO SOMEWHERE!!!!!

So this is where he goed!!!!

Everybody knows 

that dog collections belong

OVER THE TOILET!!!!!

 EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT DOG COLLECTIONS NEED TO START ON THE TOILET TANK COVER!!!!!

 EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT BULL DOGS AND THEIR ILK,

 ARE IMPORTANT IN ACQUIRING GOOD HYGIENE!!!!

 (some more bull dogs)

 EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE

 A DOG HOUSE!!!!!

(over the toilet....)

 My father's brother made us this doghouse.

We had it hanging in our dining room when I was a kid.

If someone was bad.....

(like singing at the table.)

(My father was wont to do that.)

the guilty party was hung in the dog house.

 In honor of my brother David moving to the Boston area for a sabbatical,

he is hanging in the place of honor...... 

I needed to hang something next to the sink, as I deplore a vacuum.....

I racked my brain for an idea.....

I KNOW!!!!!

MORE DOGS!!!!!

I had some left over dogs.....

seemed like they needed to sit on the counter....

 This guy has a ball to play with!!!!

I'm very concerned about them being entertained......

Across from the toilet is a little needle point bench, 

I use it to deposit laundry waiting to be changed from soiled to 

clean....

Of course,

I had to hang something on the wall.....

I know!!!!

HOW ABOUT SOME DOGS!!!!!

A lot of these drawings and prints I got from my Mom.

She had them when she was a girl. 

I found an old hooked rug that picked up the colors of the needlepoint bench. 

I love the way all the colors work with the stone floor.... 

So,

Here's a shot of my laundry room.....

it's hidden!!!!! 

 It's where the shower used to be.

I left all the plumbing in place in the walls,

 in case I

 (or someone after me)

wants to put it back.

I love that there is still a drain in place in case the washer ever overflows or springs a leak!!!!!

 I had a simple old 1940's light installed in the ceiling.

 It's all the light necessary for this little room and has a nice vintage feel.

So there you guys go.....

That's my power/laundry room.

Have a great Sunday afternoon.....

soooooo......

Latah, gatah
