Laundry Room

This desk has haunted me since I brought it home from a garage sale last summer. It looks so innocent in it’s newly relocated zip code and new coat of paint {again). I loved her even though I wasn’t sure where she would go in our house.

I loved the hardware!

And, I loved her side shelves.

So I painted her a matte black for our living room with the intentions of making it a study corner for our youngest son (instead of his current kitchen location).

And, then it became apparent that my youngest son preferred the lower south side of the house (kitchen table). So this cute desk just sat here all winter, bored and lonely.

Back to the garage she went in March and I repainted her an off white and moved her to the upper east side (laundry room).

She fit in beautifully with my previous laundry room shelf project.

Here is the final product in the laundry room.
Great for school projects!

Here is the “blog worthy” photo.

Laundry Room Pick Me Up

January! It’s the month of organization!So I am getting the most used room ready for the new year.

I was looking to make my laundry room a little more warm and cozy. I wanted it to feel like a small nook of the house, even if there were 8 pounds of wet towels in the washing machine.

With white cabinets I wanted pops of color in my windowless laundry room. Any suggestions on what to do with a windowless laundry, please leave in the comments.

I added a rug after seeing one in Shelly’s laundry room at House of Smiths.

I organized my soap into cannisters. Fun fact: my soap post is the most popular of my blog’s history.

This is another popular post on how to add a simple shelf.

Love these hooks from Hobby Lobby!

So here is to those {of us} getting our laundry ready for the new year!
