Today I would like to go back in time to about a year ago when I was working on a spare room, that functions as a laundry/family room. It is a medium sized room but I have the washing machine in here and unless I break down the door frame to the bathroom, there is no chance of moving it. My solution was to disguise the washing machine. Here is how I did it.
Σήμερα θα ήθελα να πάω πίσω ένα χρόνο πριν, όταν δούλευα σε ένα διαθέσιμο δωμάτιο, το οποίο λειτουργεί ως πλυντήριο / οικογενειακό δωμάτιο. Είναι ένα μεσαίου μεγέθους δωμάτιο, αλλά έχω το πλυντήριο εδώ και δεν υπάρχει καμία πιθανότητα να το μετακινήσω. Η λύση μου ήταν να κρύψω το πλυντήριο. Εδώ είναι πώς το έκανα.
This is what is hiding behind that partition.
Αυτό κρύβετε πίσω από το διαχωριστικό.
I hid it behind a wall partition that I made with the help of hubby. Basically what this is is 3 pieces of laminate board covered with batting and fabric. I used 2 different fabrics and once I glued them on, I attached the 3 boards using hinges.
Το έκρυψα πίσω από ένα διαχωριστικό που έκανα με τη βοήθεια του συζύγου. Βασικά αυτό είναι 3 κομμάτια κοντραπλακέ καλυμμένα με βαμβακερό γέμισμα (όπως είναι στα παπλώματα) και ύφασμα. Χρησιμοποίησα 2 διαφορετικά υφάσματα και τα αφού κόλλησα επάνω, τα ένωσα με μεντεσέδες.
Here is how it looked before:
Έτσι φαινόταν πριν:
The washing machine is hiding behind this partition, but that is not all…
Το πλυντήριο κρύβεται πίσω από αυτό το διαχωριστικό, αλλά δεν είναι μόνο αυτό …
I used the same fabric that went on the back side of the partition to cover the washing machine, so it all ties in together.
Χρησιμοποίησα το ίδιο ύφασμα που έβαλα στο πίσω μέρος του διαχωριστικού για να καλύψει το πλυντήριο, έτσι όλα δένουν μεταξύ τους.
I also have a little stool covered in the same fabric, that I use to put the laundry basket on when I’m working.
Ε
πίσης έχω ένα μικρό σκαμνί καλυμμένο από το ίδιο ύφασμα, και το χρησιμοποιώ για να βάζω το καλάθι ρούχων όταν δουλεύω.
This has been a very easy way to hide the washing machine in plain sight. When I need to use it I simply remove the fabric cover.
Αυτός ήταν ένας πολύ εύκολος τρόπος για να κρύψω το πλυντήριο μπροστά στα μάτια μας. Όταν χρειαστεί να το χρησιμοποιήσω απλά αφαιρώ το υφασμάτινο κάλυμμα.
So that was my solution to hiding the elephant in the room, er, hiding the washing machine – well, it sure feels that way to me. If you are interested in doing something like this contact me and I will find the link where I got the tutorial.

This is a creative solution to hide that washing machine and making a coordinate cover makes not only looking it good but prevents it from dirt and dust.

Pili, we are in the stages of renovating this apartment so I have decided to repaint the washing machine since it is a fuss to take the cover off all the time. Everything changes.

Thank you Janice. It gets the job done! The screen panel has the birds on one side and the plaid on the other... to keep me guessing. Thanks for visiting!

Thank you Carol. I think I secretly did this just to be able to show off that lovely pattern.

What a clever idea! It would work for so many other things you want to hide too ;)

Yes it would, and it's not so tall that it obstructs your view.
