Confessions of a Laundry Room
There is a confession that needs to be made here. The sad state I keep my laundry room. Otherwise known as the dungeon. People, it is scary down there. I do the laundry and hightail it to safe ground. It is also a room where I throw store totes full of nothing, hide presents (because the kids won't even go down there), and ill-fitting children's clothes. This combination along side the fact that it is in the basement, with no decent light, is a formula for dumpiness.
I probably should have done a warning before you looked at the pictures. Yet, you have to see it to believe it. I am letting it all hang out there for you. My laundry room is a hole. A junk filled hole.
All hope is not lost on me. I have a plan. Yes, my little pretties, a plan. I am going to tackle said laundry room/dungeon/junk filled hole and transform it to a place of tranquility. A place where the warm hum of the dryer and the Downy scented air will cajole me into the basement to do laundry. Ah, I can almost smell it now...
So here it is. In the next couple of weeks the transformation will take place. On my strict budget of $100. I will not go a penny over. I hope. No, I won't. Most of my supplies will come from mycrap resources I have stored away here. Think I can do it? I hope you said yes, because I don't know if I can. I might need you to cheer me on a little.
By the way, we start gutting out our upstairs next week. The perfect time to work on my laundry room, dontcha think?

Florescent lighting might help! Hey I'm in your corner - no doubt you can do it. (see I even have pom pom's to cheer you on... never mind I can't figure out how to make it look like pom poms....just know I'm there for you!)
Make sure you give us pictures!
Hey, who said you could take pictures of MY laundry area? ;)
Can't wait to see the "after"!
I am so jealous of your laundry room. Yes, even as is--the dungeon. WOULD LOVE to have a basement to hide my laundry in.
I think the person who invented the house with the washer and dryer next to the bedrooms was brilliant.
Next house...
Great to e-read you again. Hope everything's going well in the hallway.
