How to build a shelf to hide the washer and dryer components.

This easy DIY shelf will hide the ugly washer and dryer components, but also
gives you plenty of additional storage for laundry needs.

This washer and dryer shelf was something I was really missing in our
current laundry area. As a reminder, this is what we had when we moved
in:

white cabinets above gray washer and dryer

Not bad at all! But the cabinets were hung at a height that were better
suited for front loaders — there was no room underneath to put a shelf, but
it was difficult to reach over the washer and dryer and access the
cabinets.

**I get a lot of questions about that tray under the washer — it catches
small leaks. It was cracked so we ended up removing it. (I now use
a Govee water sensor
next to the washer.)
Part of my big plan for this space was to move those cabinets over to
another wall in here,
with drawer cabinets underneath. This was a great decision, it made the flow of the room work so much
better.

It gave us better access to things we reach for most.

I built this one a little differently so I could add some more storage
space. I started by figuring out the middle spot between the two machines. I
hung a piece of scrap wood and drilled it into studs:

support for shelf above washer

This acts as a support for the bottom shelf — I like to add a little extra
security wherever I can!

Then I placed some supports at the sides as well — I used these to secure
my vertical boards (nailed into the side of the supports) as I was
building:

building shelf unit above washer and dryer

(Ignore that white scrap on the right, it was just leaning there.) The
inside boards were purely for support at the beginning, but I’m keeping them
there so the vertical pieces won’t move around. You can’t really see these
when you’re done.

You can also build this shelf elsewhere and then bring it in and install.
I prefer to build it in place so there are no issues with fit and
size.

I suggest cutting away your baseboards so the side supports can go flush
against the wall. The wood was 3/4 inch, so I cut the baseboards
accordingly:

cutting baseboard with oscillating tool
The bottom shelf was next — I attached it to the long horizontal support
(the first piece I installed) and the side supports. I nailed it with my
nail gun first:

Two shelf unit over washer and dryer
And then secured it from underneath using screws. (I
used a Kreg jig
to make pocket holes underneath.)

You can also use wood glue and then screw into the sides to support that
shelf. Just be sure to use a drill bit to make a hole for the screw to go
into first — this will help prevent the wood from splitting. You’ll also
want to make sure you can cover the head of any screws with putty or
trim.

The top piece went on last and I mitered the ends so you don’t see any
rough edges on the side or top of the shelves:

Building shelves above washer dryer

The whole thing was super secure, except for in the middle of the top
shelf.

It was bowing a bit with heavier items, so I added a support in the middle
that created two sections:

DIY shelves above washer and dryer

I used common pine for this project — the cheapest I could find! I was
planning to paint instead of staining.

I knew stain would look great, but I would’ve wanted it to
match the counters
we put in here. I didn’t want to mess with trying to find a stain
match.

The mud room bench unit right next to it is a bright white, so I went with
that:

Wood shelf unit above top loader

I caulked everything, then gave it a few coats of semi-gloss white paint. I
ended up adding a simple MDF trim to the front to cover the irregular edges
of the wood boards, but it’s not needed!

It turned out SO great! It’s perfect!:

Laundry stuff in jars

I’ll share links to all the items on the shelves below.

I love having everything we need out and easy to access, but also looking
really cute. 😉 I lucked out and found
those cute baskets
that fit perfectly on the bottom shelf.

I just love it!:

Laundry needs in cute containers

And here’s how it looked after the wallpaper was added to this wall:

glass containers for laundry needs
blue white wallpaper laundry room

Here’s where we started:

cabinets above washer and dryer

And how it looks after the whole makeover:

washer and dryer with tall shelf

The shelf instead of cabinets (we couldn’t reach) functions so
much better for us! I also love how this unit hides the ugly stuff behind
the washer and dryer.

Step-By-Step DIY Zipper Pillow Cover Tutorial {Save a Ton of $$} | Thrifty Decor Chick http://livelaughlovedo.com/home-decor/step-by-step-diy-zipper-pillow-cover-tutorial-save-a-ton-of-thrifty-decor-chick/ http://livelaughlovedo.com/home-decor/step-by-step-diy-zipper-pillow-cover-tutorial-save-a-ton-of-thrifty-decor-chick/#respond Fri, 10 Oct 2025 20:52:34 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/10/11/step-by-step-diy-zipper-pillow-cover-tutorial-save-a-ton-of-thrifty-decor-chick/ [ad_1]

Making your own zippered throw pillow covers saves a ton of money, storage space and allows you to make seasonal decor pillows for way less!

I’m back with a project I’ve shared a couple of times…but I like to repeat it because it’s such a GOOD one. Especially for seasonal decorating on the cheap! 

Though I’ve shared this before, I don’t think I’ve ever shared a full step-by-step tutorial, so I’m doing that today. I also learned a new trick that I’ll share (along with a video with the best how-to I’ve found). 

I love to use cloth napkins to make throw pillow covers, especially when it comes to a certain look — I really love to do it with Pottery Barn napkins to recreate their pillows that are WAY more expensive. I shared how I make pillows with napkins and runners here

I’ve always wanted to learn how to sew a zipper into one of my pillow covers, and finally bit the bullet and figured out how to do it. I am far from perfect on both sewing pillows and the zipper (especially on the zipper 😂), but this is one of those projects that really doesn’t need perfection.

Using pillow covers with zippers allows me to only store a few pillow inserts and the covers take up way less space.

Let’s do this step-by-step, shall we? I finished most of these pillows years ago, but decided to deconstruct those I had finished to add the zippers and then I finished the rest. 

Cut your fabric to size

I use very basic (AKA cheap) muslin for the backs of a lot of my DIY pillows. It’s not the strongest fabric in the world but it always holds up fine for me. 

If you have kiddos that enjoy pillow fights, you may want to use something a little thicker:

I just laid my napkin on the muslin to figure out the size I needed. You’ll notice I used pinking shears, just because they help prevent the fabric from fraying. 
I’ve also used fabric scissors (I recommend using those for ease of cutting) and they still do fine. (If you plan to wash the cover often I’d hem your raw edges or use the pinking shears.)

I recommend making your pillow cover about one inch smaller than your pillow insert for a snug, fluffy fit.

After your two pieces are cut, lay them wrong sides against each other. With a solid fabric this won’t matter as much:

Sew in your zipper

I found an awesome video tutorial for this that I’ll share in a minute. But these are the basic steps. 

Lay your zipper down on one edge (if your fabric has a design that has a top and bottom, be sure to put the zipper on the bottom!): 

Mark where the zipper needs to be sewn on — keep in mind you don’t want to cover the ends of the zipper too much or it won’t close properly. I marked this with a pencil. 

Sew this side of your pillow cover to both pencil marks (on either side) and don’t go any further: 

pillows with Pottery Barn napkins

You’ll be left with a long hole in the middle for your zipper. 

I found it easier if I ironed the “seam” before working on the rest of the zipper: 

ironing a seam on pillow

Lay your zipper on the fabric where you marked with the pencil so it matches to where you ended sewing up the ends. Then sew back and forth over each side of the zipper: 

Sew a pillow tutorial with zipper

Make sure the zipper is facing out so you can operate it when the pillow is finished and turned right side out! 

This is where it got a little hairy for me. I wasn’t a perfectionist on this part and it’s obvious. 😉 

I left the zipper closed and sewed down one side first: 

pillow cover with a zipper

I don’t have it pictured here, but I highly recommend pinning your zipper to each side before sewing. Otherwise your line gets a bit wonky. Just pin along the length of the zipper so it results in a clean hem along the zipper. 

To do the other side, I undid the zipper and then pinned that other side of the zipper before sewing it in. This will help later because when you close up the pillow you’ll want it open. 

Close up your pillow 

This is by far the easiest part! If you aren’t using a zipper, making a pillow is one of the easiest DIYs ever. I know many of you are intimidated when using a sewing machine, but if you can get help setting it up (the directions are very helpful too), it’s VERY easy. 

If I’m sewing up a pillow without a zipper it only takes a few minutes to make one. Is it perfect? Would I want anyone inspecting my lines? Do I care? NOPE. 😁

Sometimes fabric with stripes are harder because you need to go fairly straight with your sewing. Once you get the hang of it, they are actually a little easier because they give you a guide on keeping that straight line:

You’ll need to sew up the remaining three sides and you’re almost done!

Finish up small details

Before turning it right side out, I like to trim down the extra fabric and the corners. This just makes it less bulky: 

cutting fabric with pinking shears

Turn it right side out and poke the corners out. Trim any random strings (I had a lot when doing the zippers!) 

If you like to decorate for holidays and the seasons, you know throw pillows are not cheap. This is such a great way to add some seasonal pillows without spending a ton of money:

DIY fall Pottery Barn pillows

Now that I know how to add a zipper, it will help my pillow insert hoarding problem big time! I’ll only need a few inserts for my seasonal pillows. I also LOVE that I can take these off to clean them now. 

I hope my zipper tutorial made sense. If not, be sure to check out this awesome video — it’s by far the best I’ve found. 

I bought these Pottery Barn napkins years ago (eight of them) for around $45 I think? I made eight “Pottery Barn” pillows for less than $15 each. Not bad when their most basic pillows sell for $40 and up!

Have you ever made your own pillows? I encourage you to try it out and forget about perfection! You know me — if anyone is ever going to plop down on my couch and find the imperfections in my DIY pillows, they get a cookie. 😉

Of course this napkin trick works well year round — not just for seasonal decorating! If you have any questions, let me know.

02Gorgeous Shower Shelves That Look Like They’re Made From Glass

Decluttering your shower is as easy as hanging up these shelves. They’re made from sleek acrylic that looks just like glass — even when up close. Installation is also a total breeze using the included adhesive, and drainage holes in the bottom of each shelf allows them to dry quickly when wet.

03A Velvet Jewelry Case Perfect For Traveling

Letting your necklaces roam free inside your suitcase is an easy way to wind up with tangled jewelry. Instead, keep everything inside this case. The velvet exterior gives it a luxurious vibe, while multiple compartments help keep your rings, necklaces, bracelets, and more tidy. Choose from dozens of colors: emerald, red, cyan, and more.

04A Sleek Wall-Mounted Towel Rack In 5 Finishes

Still using the builder-grade towel rack that came with your home? Then consider this mounted one a definite upgrade. Not only does it feature space for towels, but two shelves on top also give you extra room for toilet paper rolls, hand towels, decorations, and more. Choose from five finishes: gold, black, white, and more.

05An Anti-Fatigue Mat That Adds Color To Dull Floors

There’s no denying this mat would add a lovely burst of color to any kitchen floor. Its ultra-cushioned surface also helps absorb shock, making it less likely that your legs will start to ache when standing at your counters for long periods of time. Plus, the nonslip underside helps keep it from shifting around on smooth floors.

06A Trendy Duffle Bag That Looks Way More Expensive Than It Is

With its padded exterior and gold-colored zippers, this duffle bag looks way more expensive than its price.

Each order also includes a toiletry bag as a bonus.

07The Trinket Tray Customized With Your Initial

Leaving small items sitting out on your dresser or vanity is an easy way for pieces to go missing. Instead, place them inside of this adorable tray. It’s made from sleek ceramic — not plastic — and the monogrammed letter gives it a bougie, personalized touch.

Say goodbye to chapped lips and hello to this nourishing mask. Shea butter and jojoba oil are only a few of the hydrating ingredients you’ll find inside of it — and a touch of mineral oil helps lock in moisture so that your lips are left feeling soft for hours on end. And unlike some lip masks, this one doesn’t have a sticky gloss texture.

11Pretty Hair Ties That Look Like Bracelets On Your Wrist

I’m a huge fan when it comes to these hair ties — and not just because they’re strong enough to hold up thick heads of hair.

It’s designed to help support the natural curve of your neck and spine, which can lead to less soreness come morning — and the breathable cover is unlikely to leave hot sleepers sweating.

15Minimalist Wall Sconces That Won’t Break The Bank

Relying solely on overhead lighting in your home can give it a harsh vibe. Luckily, these wall sconces are an easy upgrade. Installation is a cakewalk using the included adhesive, and their batteries deliver up to 20 hours of light before they need recharged. You can also adjust them between three different light temperatures to set the mood: warm white, natural white, or pure white.

16A Clever Silverware Organizer That Fits In Narrow Drawers

Tidy up that messy silverware drawer by moving everything into this organizer. Each compartment is layered so that it’ll take up minimal space, making it suitable for narrow drawers. The best part? The stylish bamboo frame makes it look way nicer than comparable plastic options.

The sharp blades spin at 9,000 rotations per minute, quickly trimming away excess material without any snags or clogs. Plus, a built-in container collects stray bits of lint for easy disposal.

Plus, they’re sized to fit on nearly any type of handle, regardless of whether it’s on your fridge, oven, or anywhere in between.

Easy Ideas for Decorating With Hydrangeas in Your Fall Decor | Thrifty Decor Chick http://livelaughlovedo.com/home-decor/easy-ideas-for-decorating-with-hydrangeas-in-your-fall-decor-thrifty-decor-chick/ http://livelaughlovedo.com/home-decor/easy-ideas-for-decorating-with-hydrangeas-in-your-fall-decor-thrifty-decor-chick/#respond Fri, 12 Sep 2025 16:25:17 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/09/12/easy-ideas-for-decorating-with-hydrangeas-in-your-fall-decor-thrifty-decor-chick/ [ad_1]

Ideas for how to use beautiful hydrangea stems in your fall decor. 

Hydrangeas are one of my absolute favorite flowers, and I think the fall
season is when they are the most beautiful! I’ve used both fresh and
dried hydrangea blooms in my seasonal decor over the years. 

This time of year is when they truly shine! Most panicle hydrangeas (more
cone-shaped blooms instead of mop heads) turn a lovely shade of red or pink as
the temps get colder in the autumn months. 

Around here, the change from white or green to that blush color is the first
sign that fall is on its way. 

I’ve planted so many hydrangea bushes at both this house and our last one.
They are so full and beautiful in our landscaping, but I also love to display
the cut flowers inside throughout the summer and fall. 

Just yesterday, as I was decorating the house for the season, I was
contemplating looking for some new faux florals for our front door (say that
three times fast). 

And then it hit me…duh! I sometimes forget I have them at my disposal.
🙂 

The bonus with this flower is that they are just as pretty when they dry up as
they are freshly cut!

This year I’m using a hanging basket on our front door, and I filled it some
dried blooms for our fall door decor: 

dried hydrangeas in basket on door

Check out my cute creeper in the window. 😂

These large blooms look great just thrown in a basket or bowl as well:
Everett foyer table fall decor
dried hydrangea wood trough

It was the perfect, subtle fall touch.

You don’t need to do anything special to dry your hydrangea blooms. Either
cut and place them in water to enjoy, and then just let the flowers dry out
in the vase:

your convenience.

I may earn a small commission when you make a purchase through links. 

Or you can simply cut them and place them wherever, they will obviously dry
out quicker this way. 

I placed some smaller stems in a bowl yesterday and they still look fresh
today: 

pink green hydrangea blooms in bowl

By tomorrow they will start to dry up. There’s no water in that bowl, just
some moss I had in there from spring. 

I tucked the stems into the moss in the bowl:

One of my absolute favorite fall mantels was the simplest:

simple fall mantel hydrangeas

The soft blush and green blooms were particularly striking against the white
backdrop. 

These were from a bush at our old house and were gorgeous enough without
going crazy with decor: 

green pink hydrangeas glass vase
I have an old glass cloche that I wanted to utilize in our fall decor this
year, so I grabbed some
wet floral foam and cut off a small piece: 
cut wet floral foam
And just tucked some smaller stems into the foam. I pushed the whole thing into the cloche and then filled in around the
glass edge with
some soft reindeer moss
hydrangeas under glass cloche

I was worried the wet foam would leave condensation on the inside of the
glass, but so far so good! I’ll be interested to see how long these stay
fresh.

I think these gorgeous flowers are best enjoyed piled high and full! 

I love
adding them around the house. They make it look like I did way more work than
I actually did. 🙂

400 Square Foot Tiny Cottage in Summer (and a few take away tips for maximizing small spaces!) http://livelaughlovedo.com/home-decor/400-square-foot-tiny-cottage-in-summer-and-a-few-take-away-tips-for-maximizing-small-spaces/ http://livelaughlovedo.com/home-decor/400-square-foot-tiny-cottage-in-summer-and-a-few-take-away-tips-for-maximizing-small-spaces/#respond Fri, 13 Jun 2025 21:27:29 +0000 http://livelaughlovedo.com/2025/06/14/400-square-foot-tiny-cottage-in-summer-and-a-few-take-away-tips-for-maximizing-small-spaces/ [ad_1]

This Post May Contain Affiliate Links. Please Read Our Disclosure Policy here

It’s been awhile since we’ve shared a Tiny Cottage update, so I thought I would show you how adorable it still is :). My mom said it was okay to take some pics, so since I was there the other day taking photos in the Tiny Kitchen for this post, I jumped at the chance to give you a little peek around.

By the way, you’ll find lots of the sources (and similar pieces) from the Tiny Cottage throughout, as well as at the bottom of this post!

The Tiny Cottage (attached to our home) just keeps getting cozier and more personalized as my parents have lived in it, as all homes should!

I really love all of thoughtful little details in the Tiny Cottage. Not just the charming architecture, colors and finishes, which I love, but the meaningful touches that make it theirs.

White bench with books on it

With a Tiny Cottage (400 square feet!) every inch counts, so it’s fun to see how my mom makes it work for them and makes it so cute all at the same time.

There’s no room for “things” that don’t add something important to their life, so each piece earns its keep—by how it functions or by the joy it brings to their everyday experience. They’ve collected such a happy mix of simple pleasures and meaningful memories.

I remember when I asked my mom if this Tiny Cottage would really be enough, she simply said, “What more do we need?” And she was right.

Even though a tiny house isn’t always easy to “fit into”—and it definitely requires intention behind every decision—creating a lovely home of any size is really about finding peace and contentment with what matters in this season of life.

This mindset is one we wholeheartedly embrace as HomeBodies in HomeBody Gathering Place, too. We’re all about creating soul-filled homes with more ease and intention. It’s not about the size of the house or having the perfect space. It’s about learning to love the one you have and the tiny acts of care that make it your own.

I’ll point out a few more recent updates and other little moments around the Tiny Cottage along with some take away tips for maximizing small spaces!

My mom loves plants and has always had a green thumb, as did her mom! I unfortunately did not get the green thumb gene ha! I try though and love it, too. Perhaps in my retirement years I’ll devote more of my time to gardening.

I love how she’s been using some of the window sills as a Tiny Indoor Garden!

If you are building a smaller home, remember to add deeper window sills. You will not regret it if you need more space to grow plants or display. Every inch counts so deeper sills also create the illusion of more space, whether you use them or not!

Hydrangea Art Card // Timeless Book // (see similar frames at end of post)

They recently added these bookcases / benches to either side of their fireplace. Home takes time and they realized they missed having a place for books and surfaces for plants, frames or treasures, so these are PERFECT for their needs. Plus they can move them around if they need additional seating.

Had to laugh about this…. just noticed there’s a little caterpillar crawling outside the window. Ha!

Fireplace: Jotul

Remember when I gave my mom our couch around Christmas time? Now their wicker one is outside on the Tiny Deck (and it looks SO cute out there. Stay tuned–I will get photos of outside progress to share, too) and the leather is so cozy in here! We are always playing musical furniture in our family so you never know where things will turn up next.

Chandelier

My dad has been buying my mom darling little handmade quilling cards (like for Mother’s Day and holidays) that they started framing by their door. I just love art that tells a story.

I found the art cards on Etsy here (she has this adirondack card, this beach house, and these tulips. Some are available on Amazon here as well.

She also got these cute blue and white checkered throws, I love them on the back of the wicker chairs! I might need to get a couple of those myself.

Sources: boat // mouse night light // similar smaller bird wall plate (see more at the end of this post)

My dad has his own little trinkets and gifts sprinkled around the Tiny Cottage. A Tiny Cottage mouse night light riding in a boat is a favorite practical and meaningful addition!

My mom is often moving things around to find just the right spot, I got them this darling “fish” apron at a local gift shop for Christmas and it looks so cute hanging on the wall! Double duty is the way to go in a smaller space. Practical and art at the same time!

Wall vase is currently out of stock but it’s this brand

This beautiful plate was a gift my mom’s mom gave her at their wedding!

Blue and white tile // toaster oven // espresso machine

This cabinet and counter still works great as an extension of their Tiny Kitchen. If you need to leave appliances in view, just make them attractive! They have such a pretty espresso machine.

Love their TV, too, you can change the art on it anytime so it looks more like a painting than a black hole!

They still love their Tiny Oven!

Mom mom also really enjoys her kitchen display shelves! It’s a mix of every day items that look so cute together along with special pieces they’ve collected over the years.

I found several similar blue and white canisters below in the source list–some of hers were collected years ago from Italy!
