Laundry Room Make Over Series: DIY “WASH” Sign

I have been wanting to “Spruce” up my Laundry Room for a while.

I didn’t want to break the bank in the process though, so I decided I would do it in fazes.  This is the first post in a series of posts I will do as I update it.  🙂

I had seen the letters “W A S H” on someone else’s Laundry Room wall and I decided to do it myself.  I think it was Kathryn from Do It On a Dime, which is a Youtube channel, but she also has a blog that she started recently to go along with it.  LOVE her!  She has great tips for ……. you guessed it, Doing things on a Dime, or on the cheap.  You can check out her youtube channel here, and her blog here.

So, first off, I went to my local craft store, AC Moore and bought the unfinished wooden letters.  They were 2 for $5.00, which I thought was pretty good.

I also picked up a can of Rust-Oleum’s Painter’s Touch Spray Paint in a Metallic Aluminum Color for $6.99.  My walls are painted Stonington Gray by Benjamin Moore in the Laundry Room and instead of painting them a contrasting color, I wanted them to have almost an “embossed” look, so I chose a color as similar as possible to the wall color.

I sprayed them with 2 light coats of paint and it covered VERY VERY well.

This was the end result, which I’m really happy with.

However, I might move the letters because since I did the letters, we have decided to do a few more updates to the Laundry Room, which I am REALLY excited about.

I will make sure to do updates on it as we progress through the work.

While I was at it, I decided to take a White Wired Trash Can I purchased at the Dollar Tree and spray it too.

While you might not be able to tell a huge difference on photo, it did spice it up a little and not make it look so “Dollar Tree”ish.  Did that sound bad?  I hope not.  I was definitely happy with the fact that I was able to get more uses out of the one can of spray paint and still had some left to do other projects!

Stay tuned for more updates on the Laundry Room Makeover!  

 

XOXO,
