    Decorganizing Wednesday: Laundry Rooms

    Should I tell Martha that they have machines to do that?

    Ok, let's be honest...no one likes to do laundry. Especially all you mothers of multiple children. Thank God Kate Gosselin exploited her children to be able to afford some help, right? Could you imagine? But there are ways to make this dreaded chore more enjoyable or if nothing else, easier. Whether you have a tiny little closet or a massive room, here are some keys to creating a functional, well organized (and pretty) laundry room.

    BASICS:
    1. A place to store all of your cleaning supplies
    2. A trashcan for lint, dryer sheets, etc.
    3. An accessible place for an iron and ironing board
    4. A place to collect buttons, safety pins, thread, etc.

    LUXURIES:
    5. A place to sort and/or fold clothes
    6. A sink or washbasin to hand wash garments
    7. A place to hang your delicates to dry
    8. A place to mend damage clothes

    If you don't have a large laundry room you can always utilize the vertical height and "Julia Child's" your space.

    Or revamp your old TV cabinet which let's face it, is now useless.

    Fluff n' Fold

    I hate doing laundry. Part of it is the space I have to do it in...it is gross...the complete antithisis of these rooms. It is a room off of my sunroom that isn't totally finished and won't be any time soon as it is very low on the priority list. My sweet mom sewed me a curtain that at least covers the water heater. Then I added cute shelves and baskets but it isn't helping much. When my handymen were here a couple of weeks ago, they figured out a way to get the door to close fully without hitting the dryer. I was extatic. Sometimes it is the little things...





    I helped a client/friend design a huge laundry room in their house addition. With three boys, she spent a lot of time doing laundry! And I think she wanted a place where she could go and tell the family she was "busy" but secretly get a retreat from the chaos! We added a TV and a place for her laptop. I sometimes picture her in there watching hours and hours of Real Housewives in silence. "Go play with your brothers...mommy is busy doing housework."

    Stay tuned to Before&After this Saturday where I show you an inspiring laundry room makeover!
