I love this project, what a great idea! Side note; I have an opportunity to buy a washer and dryer just like yours in the pictures for $400. How do you like them/have they held up well for you? I hope asking this here is ok, I don’t know how to contact you directly and I have been trying to find info on the machines for a while.

Barb,

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I can’t believe I’ve been doing the dreaded chore of laundry in the dark corner for over 42 years! I’m loving how much cheerier it already looks. 🙂

Jeannie,

I can’t paint at all. But I have stenciled on vinyl flooring as floor cloths. I hope if you try the vinyl wallpaper as a floor cloth that it works for you.

I have made several floorcloths, but have never even considered using a vinyl wallpaper! What a great idea! I have always used pieces of vin;yl flooring and done free-hand work for designs. Thanks for the great tips!

Gail,
I always enjoy seeing someone do a project that would suit my home. I, too, use my basement for laundry and it just has cinderblock walls and a cement floor. I work on most of my painting projects in the basement and while I appreciate having a spot inside that can’t be “harmed”, I also appreciate a cheerful place to work – iron, wash, dry, and fold laundry.” This is a spectacular project! Thanks so much for lending your expertise and describing your steps in such accurate words!

Wow..you never seem to run out of amazing ideas! LOVE the DIY floor rug and was blown away by your poking holes in the heavy cardboard to make it cut easier. Pinned!!

So happy to help out Jen. Punching the holes makes it easier to stay on the lines. 🙂

happy crafting!

Once again, you taught me something so simple, yet my brain would never have thought of doing: Poking holes before cutting the cardboard. Makes so much sense!

p.s. the rug looks great!
