"It is not hard to enhance the mundane so that the ordinary becomes extraordinary and creativity pays dividends. Home should be the happiest place on earth."
~Dorothy Kelley Patterson, Co-Author of The Christian Homemaker's Handbook
There are many ways to make our homemaking tasks pleasant and one of them is to prepare a cheerful environment in which to do them. We women are quite visual and when we see something attractive, we light up! Perhaps, we can persuade you to enjoy doing laundry with a bit of wash day art on your walls. We are sharing 7 different {free} printables to go with various home decoration styles. I do hope one of these sets will fit your taste! For when our daughters see us putting love into our home and daily duties, we are showing them that home is indeed a place worth our investment of time!
To print out these individual art sets, follow the free links below:
The "French Collection" Trio {These will print horizontally.}
Classic Pioneer "Wash on Monday" Set {These will print horizontally.}
And finally, something inspirational... Our Old Fashioned Wash Day Prayer based on the Psalms.
Note: You can find frames inexpensively in second-hand stores and yard sales. Simply paint them to match your home decoration. We printed our art on white card-stock, cut it down to size (leaving some white border as a "matting") and placed the sets in 8 by 10 inch frames. Happy homemaking, ladies!
For more Wash Day inspiration, I invite you to visit here. You will find "loads" of laundry DIY recipes (stain removers, fabric softeners, etc.), laundry room labels, laundry room crafts, tutorials, lessons and other lovely homemaking talk to encourage a love for home.
