I actually did this project before we had our little research adventure, but I didn't get a chance to post it.
One of the things that convinced us to move into this apartment was the washer and dryer (a hard thing to find in apartments in Overcast). They're great--really new, Energy Star, and very quiet. With all the sewing I do, it's nice to not have to schlep everything to the laundromat to pre-wash.
But they're in our bathroom, and the bathroom is tiny, so the washer and dryer is all anyone sees. Plus our extra cat litter, broom, and potting soil or whatever we've thrown in there because there's no room for it anywhere else. I've been looking for a nice curtain or even bedsheet to hang up and add some pattern while screening it off, but haven't been able to find anything nice. I took a class on dying in college, though, so I decided to shibori dye a bedsheet myself.
