Anyways, the point is, once he does tackle these things, I promise to have lots of good stuff to show you: my final playroom reveal and laundry room progress, including a fun DIY ribbon trimmed curtain tutorial. But until then, my DIY bones were getting antsy, so I decided to conquer another much-needed project for the laundry room. Check this out:
Not the basket (luckily that can and should be removed promptly!)...I'm talking about the ugly dryer hose sticking out above. It had to be hidden, and luckily, I had a spare canvas waiting around. I painted the canvas yellow and then whipped out some clothespins. I used both regular sized ones and mini ones (that's what the package says, but I've seen smaller...the ones I used are 1 3/4 inches long). To go with my color scheme for the room, I used pink, white, and the blue paint I had used to paint the laundry room. I just used my clothespins like stamps...dabbed them in the paint and then placed them on the canvas. I had no strategy when it went to stamping my clothespins, and while I am usually the type that loves me some order, I must admit I like the chaos of this guy. Check it out:
And gloriously hiding the ugly dryer hose:
True...the room still needs a lot of work, but it's a start, right! And it was such an easy (and cheap, as in $3 for some pink paint and mini clothespins...I already owned everything else) project...my favorite kind! So, what do you all think? Anybody else been up to fun, easy DIY stuff lately?

dude - that rocks. and it's theme-y without being TOO theme-y.
