Laundry Room

Long time no post! 
 
I saw this on Pinterest on Sunday & knew I wanted to try to recreate it.

 
I already had a similar frame in the laundry room but I wasn't loving the print I had made for it.  Here's what I had made previously.

 
I found it on Pinterest also & changed the colors in Photoshop.  We eventually want to paint the laundry room but haven't decided on a color - it's not very high on our to do list.  I thought we might use a variation of a gray blue color we used in our study, which is why I went with a dark gray blue on this.  But I really didn't like the way it looked in a black frame, which is what I had on hand.  I've been meaning to either change the colors in Photoshop again or paint the black frame but never got around to it.
 
I saw another sign on Pinterest awhile ago for lost socks & thought it was a cute idea.  So when I saw this print for socks, I was inspired.  It was super easy to recreate in Photoshop.  I went with a greenish blue color.  I was going to paint the clips black but found some paint I already had that matched the green.  The print looks more blue in this picture, but it is actually more green in person.


I liked the white mat around the inspiration photo but I already had this 8x10 frame.  Maybe I'll change the print to a 5x7 & put a white mat in there but I like it a lot better than the previous print already.
 
And I did the whole project on Sunday while the boys were sleeping!  I even had time left over to spare.  That's the kind of project I like!
