Laundry Room / Powder Room Art

I bought a boxed set of postcards a few years ago featuring art deco soap labels (from Chronicle Books). To spruce up our laundry room, I framed four of the labels with frames and antique white mats that I picked up from Michael's on sale. 




I found this site that sells actual vintage soap labels. I like the idea of framing anything that is "soap" or "detergent" related. If you use those large bar soaps that come in the beautiful packaging you could just frame those!

If you need art for the kitchen you could use vintage canned food labels. Here are two of my favorites:

    Hi saw you over at SITS.

    Soap labels? Are you kidding me. What a novel idea!

    Bet your bathroom looks spiffy.

    Hi Ashley! Wow - you're in Palm Desert? I've only met one person in the area through blogging. So glad to meet another!

    I just checked out your Lil Golf Girl site. So cute! Do you mind if I add that link to my local directory? It should be completed next month: http://shopthe760.com

    I'll be purchasing radio ads to promote it. If you know anyone else that sells online in the Valley, please let them know!

    Thank you!

    Ooh! I've been saving my fancy soap labels for a project just like this one. I think it is finally time to give it a try... Nicely done!
