{The Laundry Room}

SOME of you have seen my laundry room more then once, but I needed to post this from my other blog onto this blog, so I can save it as a widget. winks!

Welcome to my laundry room….. ITS “LOADS” of fun!

you can see how to make these dollar store hanging washroom signs HERE.
I love to use a large jar for dry detergent, super cute. I added the cute gingham ribbon tied to the knob with two antique clothes pins, I purchased at an antique store.

The BIG JAR, holds a large box of dry detergent and a large scoop, LOVE IT!

Love Downy (April Fresh Downy is my fav.) I use two sheets per load. It really makes the clothes soft and yummy!

I added the large W AND D to the washer and dryer, it added more fun and whimsy to the Laundry room. I cut out vinyl from my cricut- using the “Platinum Schoolbook Cartridge.”

Right side of laundry room, cupboard above small counter and cupboard below. I keep a waste basket for all the laundry lint, and oddles of gadgets and what have yous I find in my sons pockets. 😉

I added the pole aka shower pole HE! to air dry special garments. Then I came up with a plan for those “DARN lost socks.” A hanging basket to store and clip those lost socks. As I fold the laundry and come across socks I pair the matches “found” together. If they don’t have pairs, I toss them in the lost sock basket. Then after {ALL} the laundry is done, I dump the basket and start pairing the socks that were all tossed in together. I am always stunned at how many find their match, it has been working great.

Laundry sign I cut out from my cricut! 😉 I want to get some other cute something.. not sure what? to hang just below the vinyl and right above the door.

The {hanger} plaques I got at a store on clearance, and the chain worn looking plaques I got at the DI.
AND SO YOU ALL DON’T THINK MY LAUNDRY ROOM LOOKS perfect all the time…  BAHAHAHAHAHA- i wish…. Let me explain- My boys dirty laundry in a pile ready to go into the wash, some clean laundry folded on the dryer, a Christmas Scented candle I haven’t put away yet, a wedding gift I haven’t mailed yet, and three loads of clean laundry stacked in a basket waiting to be folded. OH’ and normally the washer has like my purse, diapers, and mail sitting on it, thank goodness for doors. I DIGRESS!
THANKS FOR LOOKING. Now I am off to fold laundry maybe….. BOOO!

  1. I am so glad mine is not the only one that looks like that! I DO clean it up but laundry is the never ending story so it doesn’t stay clean for long. I have been having laundry room envy for days now. I feel better. Thanks for sharing!

  2. Love your cute laundry room. We’re opposites when it comes to dryer sheets – I rip mine in half, use half at a time, and reuse until each until it smells like nothing. 🙂

  3. My laundry room is in the garage..where the hubs is restoring a firetruck, so *sighs..am a wee bit jealous of your lovely, tranquil room. You did a great job!

  4. I too am glad for the real picture of your laundry room! That is what mine looks like a lot – except I have a closet for a laundry room! I love what you did with it though, very beautiful!

  5. Your laundry room looks fabulous!We are in the process of fixing/finishing our basement. I may have to borrow some ideas when we get to the laudry room so that I will enjoy speding my time there!

  6. I absolutely love your laundry room! I have been trying to come up with some new ideas..and you’ve given me some! Thank you!!! Can’t wait to get started! Thank you for sharing!

  7. I love it! I admitt I was feeling the little green monster coming out until I saw that yours looks like mine with all the never ending dirty laundry piled up in such a cute room.

  8. Oh my goodness, I love your laundry room. And the Jar especially. Can you please tell me where you got the jar and what size it is. I bought some 1 gallon ones, but they aren’t big enough. I am going to put those in my kitchen. You are so talented. If you can, will you email me fdbgburton@hotmail.com
    Thank you and keep the ideas coming.

  9. Thank you for this post. I love the jar with the washing powders in it. I found this jar at Target. It is a 2 gallon size. I also bought 4 – 1 gallons for my kitchen (flour, sugar etc…) and a 1/2 gal for my coffee. Keep up the wonderful ideas. PS. Thanks for answering my email so fast.

  10. Just thinking randomly…because that’s what I do 😉 you know what would be cute under your saying that you said you needed something. Get some wire and string it under the saying so it looks like a clothes line and either hang baby onesies from clothes pins or like baby shorts that would look like cute boxers. Told ya…random.
