My fun laundry room!


Okay so I decided one night that if you have to do laundry, and we all do, that it should be as fun as possible. So I gave my laundry room a makeover a little bit ago. I painted it this way fun color (my brothers tell me it is the "fish bowl" room. And then I hung the baskets on the wall. So now I don't have laundry all over my floor anymore and I can sort it as it gets dirty. And to top it off, 1 full basket is a full load! so I know exactly when to do laundry, no half loads. Then I hung a cute curtain in front of it so I can pretend I don't have a mess when people come over. There is also a shelf on the right side to put my bleach and what not. Okay so cool baskets!
Next I had this weird empty space in the corner so I built some shelves into it. I put all my small kitchen appliances on it. Can I tell you I use them so much more while they are there? I love it. I also gave the kids a shelf for their crayons and markers and play doh and now they see it more often and use it more. To top it off I don't have to stop what I am doing to get it for them. And I put a small laundry basket under the bottom shelf for the "outside shoes" so now I don't have dirt clumps coming off shoes all the way through the house and we just keep the really dirty ones in there and the cute ones in the closet (the reason for this post is, a friend of mine had a good "after" method of laundry, you know folding and putting away, so I thought I would share my good "before method of laundry). Now if somebody could come and mop my house for me I will be all set! (And by the way I did this all by myself other than Eliott helping me hang the board that went behind the baskets on the wall! Just giving my self a little pat on the back! that's all!)Anyway that is all!
