Laundry Room Update

Never can have enough storage in a house and our Laundry Room is the Catch All of all places in our house!  It is the first door you come to.....take off shoes, shed clothes, you name it, it is in there!

When we were building our house, the main thing that I knew was that I wanted a door to my utility room....I wanted to be able to close it off!  Good thing because it is a mess at all times! 

Back in January of 2011, I tried to become more organized with our laundry....it has helped pretty much.....I fold clothes, put them in the individual basket and then they always never make it to the drawers or closets.  The laundry room has always been a pretty ugly green.  Looked better on the paint strip.  I hate to paint so that is why it has stayed that color for the last 6 1/2 years....

January 2011

My first day of summer break started with painting, yes that is right, I said, "PAINTING!"

I am such a visual person that it is horrible. Lowes has these wonderful paint samples and it helped me see a vision even more!

June 2012 

I am just in love with this color!  The make do curtain is a shower curtain that I found in Dollar General....not keeping it, don't like it....

Also, the hubby and I went to Home Depot and got 2 cabinets for the wall.  Oh I am in love with these 2 extra cabinets.  AND by the way, we put them up all by ourselves.  So proud of us!

 

This is my new corner cabinet....everything has a home instead of sitting on top of the dryer or on a shelf in the corner.   Oh yeah, a old baby wipes container works wonderful for dryer sheets.  Just take off top so you can reach it and you have it.

Still using out laundry basket system.  Everyone has a basket of nice clean clothes.

Maybe the laundry fairy will come and put them up for me! 

The red containers are shoe containers for the kids!

Notice my little frig from school.....she has a nice place for the summer and we are loving the cold drinks....

We are going to add a 36 inch cabinet over the sink...cannot wait! 

Then, another corner cabinet and put a bar between the sink cabinet and corner cabinet for clothes to hang on....these are ready to be put in closet.....come on fairy lady! 

Each person has a catch all basket.....hope these will help me to stay organzied!

I am just in love with it!

Oh yeah, ordered this today..... a black and white valance.  Think I will like this..

Will post picture when it comes in.....

stayed tuned for more updates.....need to paint bathroom, any takers!
