Hi there! Hope you are all having a good week! Today, I finished up a really easy and fun little project. I created four cute vintage printables, set them into frames, and hung them up in our laundry room. Making your own printables can take a little bit of time, so I’m sharing mine with all of you…for free! That way, you can go right to the printing, framing, and hanging of this fabulous laundry room artwork!
Inspiration
The inspiration for my laundry room printables were these beautiful Pottery Barn vintage prints for the office. Too bad they don’t have any for the laundry room!
Making the Printables
To make my printables, I found free online images of an iron, vintage washing machine, old sewing machine, and a clothespin. Using Adobe Illustrator, I merged the images and text, and sized the prints for an 8″ x 8″ frame opening. I even included some dashed cutting lines! For those of you who would prefer the images a little larger, I created a second set of printables that can be used with an 8″ x 10″ frame. Scroll down to the end of the post to download my free laundry room artwork printables.
Framing & Hanging
I bought some square Studio Decor frames from Michael’s (that luckily happened to be on sale buy-one-get-one free). Even though these frames come with a matte, I did not use it. I couldn’t find an online link to the exact frame that I used, but I did find a link to the larger version of this frame. It has a matted opening of 8″x8″, so it would also work with the printables, if you prefer the larger size. I’ve got a pretty small laundry room, so I opted for the smaller frame size.
I printed out my laundry images onto white Cardstock Paper. Next, I cut the paper to size using an X-ACTO Knife and Cutting Mat.
Once the printable was cut to the correct size, I inserted it into the frame, and put the frame back together. Turn it over and you have your finished laundry room artwork!
The easiest and (my opinion) best way to hang these frames is to use Command Picture Hanging Strips (Medium) These things are amazing!! No more nails, easy to position, easy to remove…I could go on and on! I used the black ones, but they come in white, too.
To hang the frames on the walls, I did a little measuring and used a small level to make sure my grouping of four was straight and even. Here is my new vintage laundry room artwork on the wall!

Super cute! Are you going to be selling these in your shop for those of us non-DIY types?
Thanks Wendy! Yes, in fact, I recently added them to the shop!
These are adorable for a laundry room. Great idea!

I love these , but was not able to download nor print them out.
Sorry about that! If you email me at info@welshdesignstudio.com, I can send you the printables. Maybe that will work better for you?
These are so perfect Melissa! I love each of them individually, but they look truly fabulous all together. I’ll be featuring your free printables at tomorrow’s link party. xx
Thanks so much! I really love the combination of the four together, too!
These are absolutely darling! Would love to redo my laundry room wall and add these! They would be cute in a sewing room also. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,

Thanks so much, Jann!

Thanks Judi!
I love these! The vintage look is great. Thanks for sharing at Snickerdoodle. I’ll be featuring this at today’s party. Thanks for partying with us!
Thank you so much, Beverly!
So cute! I love this idea. And it seems so easy.

Thanks Nikki! They were super easy to make!
Thank you so much for providing for both sizes. I saved all 8 just in case since am not sure what size frames will be using. Would love to use same size as you did. Will be hanging these on laundry closet doors as we don’t have a laundry room in our single wide mfg. home.
Don’t have a dining area either. Is just us two old kids and since real estate is so darned expensive here for us we compromised to be able to buy our own place. Do have 1/2 acre and incredible views.
Love how your laundry art looks, imagine they are a great addition to your laundry room. Will spruce up our mud room with these hanging on laundry closet doors thanks to command strips.
Have wonderful Sunday.
