Hello! I’ve been working on our laundry room to make it more functional, yet a pretty space to be in. C’mon – it’s laundry. It’s already not fun, so I wanted the space to be kind of pleasant to be in. I showed some pictures here of when we first moved in and the picture frame mats to bring some color and cheer in. It’s between the garage and the kitchen so it doesn’t have a window or any natural light, so this was hard to get pictures of!

I usually don’t fold laundry in my laundry room. I bring our laundry (me & my husband’s) out to the kitchen table and fold while I watch something or when the kids get home and they are buzzing around practicing or doing homework. For my kids, each has a different laundry day and I wash it for them during the day. When they come home, they take it to their room to fold. That’s our laundry system! So I didn’t need/want a huge laundry room because I really don’t spend too much time in there.

Anyway! I don’t know if you wanted to know all of that! Back to the room: I typed up a favorite quote, sent it to Staples and had it printed on an 18X24 print for $2. Then I found these great huge frames at Michaels (back in August, I really do take forever on projects) for $12.99! They still sell them and you can watch for a great sale.
