Sometimes the best projects begin with a forgotten sign and a spark of inspiration.

There always seems to be a new project happening around here.

Our latest endeavor is a simple laundry room refresh.

(A lot of good things that I’ll share at the end of the month.)

Laundry Room Sign Before…

While preparing the room for a new coat of paint, I removed the old pictures

and laundry room sign.  I added the new discards to my “Donate” pile.

After a second glance, I decided to make-over the sign instead.

I had nothing to lose if I didn’t like it.

To make over the Laundry Room Sign:

• Wipe the sign with a damp cloth to make sure it’s clean and dust free.
• The metal sign was smooth, so I didn’t prep the sign with sanding.
• I spray-painted the sign with leftover Black Chalkboard paint* to give it a matte finish.

• I used a Silhouette Cameo Electronic Die-Cutting Machine* and StyleTechCraft White Glossy Craft Vinyl to cut the words “The Laundry Room”.
• I got the SVG cut file from The Silhouette Design Store.
• Once the vinyl was cut and weeded, I placed the words onto the sign using transfer paper.  I gently rubbed over the transfer paper and sign using a vinyl scraper tool*.
• After the words have transferred on the sign, remove the transfer paper.

A little extra addition…

While I had my vinyl and machine out, I cut the words “laundry pods”.

I placed it on an old apothecary jar I picked up years ago from a garage sale.

(You can find new apothecary jars here*.)

There’s nothing more satisfying than giving new life to the things I already have on hand with quick and easy makeovers.
