Adding Vintage Items To A Laundry Room Gives It Personality
If you are like me, you want to see some vintage items in a utilitarian room to give it soul and personality. I’ve been shopping my own home for a couple of vintage things to add to our new bathroom (still in the works).
Then, on Instagram, I saw what Rachel did to refresh her laundry room. It’s timeless, interesting and affordable. I am featuring it today, along with a British tv series I’m loving, a balsamic pork chop recipe and an outfit of the week.
It’s Sunday Faves time with Annie and Cindy.
How Vintage Items In A Laundry Room Give It Personality
Do you remember this post where I featured my friend Debbie’s laundry room?
She used vintage art in her new laundry room. It really adds something. Imagine it without?
Cindy Hattersley’s laundry room has great vintage style too.
And here is what Rachel from Cherry Street Blossoms did to transform her laundry room.
Rachel: “Originally the sleeping porch, this window-encased room recently got a little upgrade with new striped cafe curtains and brass hardware. This space has evolved over the years from a playroom, to an office and now officially just a laundry room. A few tweaks have made it prettier and a lot more functional for our family.”
Laundry room before:
Peel and stick tiles on the floor…and they brought in an antique buffet that was stored in the garage to use as a folding table (I think I like this best).
And after:
Along with the TWOPAGES cafe curtains, which, by the way, you can get a discount there with code CCHSHOP25 for 25% off.
You can check out Rachel’s home on Homeworthy…
Rachel is a school teacher in New Jersey and so genuine and charming. You can follow her on Instagram here.
Balsamic Pork Chops with Sweet Onions And Figs
Howard found this recipe on The Good Dinner Mom, which I love as he knows you can get some good recipes from blogs.
Howard used the stove top method and used fresh figs instead of dried. He served it with roasted vegetables.
What To Watch On TV : The Hardacres On Britbox
I finally subscribed to Britbox to get “The Other Bennet Sister,” which was good but I really like The Hardacres. It’s addictive.
“The series charts a classic rags‑to‑riches story as Sam and Mary Hardacre lose their dockside jobs after a workplace accident. With their three children and sharp‑tongued mother, the family must choose between the workhouse or a risky new venture. The gamble pays off, and they relocate to Hardacre Hall, a country estate that brings both opportunity and intense social pressure.
Chocolate Brown At Home To Ease Into Fall
It’s still hot here in Florida, but I bought a hand-made brown and cream vase as a nod to Fall. 20% off for Labor Day.
It said it wasn’t water-tight, so I put a glass with water inside it to be safe.
Also, I’ve wanted to bring in some brown salad plates and McGee & Co has pretty ones on their Labor Day sale.
And these seem like a good deal on Etsy...
But I already bought six vintage brown salad plates on Etsy (arriving from Denmark today).
Do you shop on Etsy? It’s like a global marketplace. Just be aware of the shipping costs that may surprise you.
Outfit Of The Week…Red Cotton Shirt Dress
I used my own older belt with this Ann Taylor shirt dress. But I think next time I will wear the sash/self-tie belt and black flats. It’s 30% off now.
It comes in classic and petite sizes (and if you are petite, you’d better hurry). The wedge sandals are old and so is the Bembien leather tote from Madewell (similar). The sunglasses are here.
On Thursday, we are covering Fall fashion accessories so you should come back for that!

Let’s see what my friends have discovered this week:
Thanks for the mention! I love a little vintage almost anywhere. That red dress is darling on you! Those sandals look like ankle breakers-you are brave…
Ha! We just went to dinner…not like walking around Paris or anything 🙂
