My Laundry Room

I don't have a finished laundry room. But I worked with what I have and made a space that I like, because with 3 kids I do quite a lot of laundry! You don't always have to wait for your spaces to be all finished and perfect and "magazine worthy" to enjoy them.

Having this large counter over my washer/dryer is so nice for organization/storage and for folding. (Although I don't usually fold clothes down there.)

I put all my laundry detergents and stain remover, etc in a plastic bin so they're easy to access, but contained.
Having paper towel and small towels handy is a good idea when doing laundry.

I added chalkboard labels to these bottles/ jars. The mason jar in the middle is filled with dish soap as that can come in handy for certain stains, just like the vinegar and baking soda. I added the pump onto the mason jar to create a cute soap dispenser.

I repurposed some jars and added vinyl onto them and have them to hold various sizes and colours of clothespins.
The Laundry quote print is one that I got HERE. I love seeing it often as I reminder to not wish away the hard days with little kids, cause they grow up much too quickly!

I have another repurposed jar to hold tea lights. I added another chalkboard label onto a jar I bought from Target to hold all those little things left in pockets. I have a little basket that holds the dryer sheets.
The large basket holds all the larger things like the iron, washing bags, extra clothespins and vinegar, etc.

The blue cabinet on the wall was there when we moved here a couple years ago, It's where all the household cleaners and chemicals live.


After I took the rest of the laundry room photos, I added these prints onto the wall.
Laundry Print from HERE. (I modified it to make my own)

Blue/Grey/Yellow Bathroom Decor

 I'm going to try to post more on this blog. A few months ago I added some new decor to my bathroom. It's the upstairs bathroom by the bedrooms, so it's the one our family uses the most.


I painted the yellow frame on the wall and added photos of my kiddos with mustaches. Just for fun.


Since I took these photos, I bought a striped rug for in front of the sink.

I painted all the little frames in this photo, as well as a vase.

I created this print to hand above the toilet since I think it's hilarious. I suffer from a form of kidney disease where I frequently have multiple or many kidney stones and the associated pain.



I painted the large square yellow &  grey damask print using paint and a stencil. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

I framed some photos of my 3 kids in the bath as babies.
I created the "Bubbles" print and the others in the frame with it.
For the "Wash" print, there was one I found online to download for free, but I couldn't get it to work, so I created my own.
I made this Embroidery Hoop Wreath a couple years ago and it was already on the bathroom door.

And that's our bathroom! I love that it's bright and colourful and FUN!
