You must see my newly painted laundry room plus a DIY sign to add a bit of personality to the room!

So earlier this week I showed you my Stenciled Washer & Dryer and Laundry Room Makeover (which I’m completely in love with since it was a super cheap makeover).

But today I wanted to share some info about the paint I used on my laundry room walls!

A can of interior semi glass HGTV paint on the washing machine.

I actually used the HGTV Home paint by Sherwin Williams for my laundry room walls in a shade called Hinting Blue. I wanted something light and bright since my Laundry Room doesn’t have any windows and this shade did the trick.

The paint color hinting blue. This paint went on super smooth (like butter!) and I didn’t even have to prime my dark green walls first (although I did use two coats in some areas).

The wall in the laundry room half painted.

A paint brush with the light blue color on the wall.I’m a huge fan of Sherwin Williams paint… remember by Craft Room and Dining Room? Yep, both rooms used Sea Salt, a delicious desaturated greenish blue color.

The completed hinting blue color in the laundry room.Do you remember voting for the winning Laundry Room sign design on my Facebook page last week? Well if so, here the completed sign that I created for my Laundry Room makeover.

I tried to keep the overhaul as cheap as possible so I ended up creating a bunch of the artwork myself, including this little sign. Here’s how I created it…

A can of paint, a brush and some sign cardboard.

I gathered my supplies:

  • 16×20 inch artist board
  • vinyl lettering (download FREE ARTWORK HERE: dirty clothes.eps)
  • Country Grey Annie Sloan Chalk Paint
  • clear & dark wax
  • paint brush
  • ribbon

Peeling off the wrapper on the artist board.First thing I did was center the vinyl lettering on the art board and stuck it in place. I carefully peeled the backing off to expose the white vinyl lettering (yeah, it’s hard to see… sorry).

With a paint brush painting over the stenciling.Next I painted the entire sign board in a coat of Country Grey ASCP. Yep, right over the vinyl lettering too. Once it dried, I peeled up the vinyl lettering to reveal this…

The Best Days End In Dirty Clothes poster on the washing machine.Next I drilled two holes into the top of the sign for the ribbon.

Drilling a hole in the sign for the laundry room.And gave the whole sign a coat of dark and clear Annie Sloan wax. Tip: you will be able to scale down the dark wax if you apply the clear wax first.

Annie Sloan soft wax opened and by the sign.I gave the edges some extra dark wax to have a grungy, dirty look.

Brushing some darker wax onto the edges of the sign.I tied the ribbon through the holes and the sign is ready for hanging!

    I am positive that I could never accomplish this sign no matter how easy you make it look! But it does look great! And I love the saying. It is so true! That sale is a great tip too! Would be a great time of the year to make over some walls in our house… 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

    Glad you told us about the sale–I am planning to buy some paint this weekend, but wasn’t planning to go to SW, as there is not one in my small town. I love SW, and since it will be on sale, it will be well worth the extra drive.
