Bright Laundry Room

Okay, so I know it's kind of silly to think about how you want your laundry room to look, but I'll tell you this:

1. I'm a mom with a lot of laundry to wash. It helps considerably to have counter space and organization!
2. I hate, hate, hate doing laundry. Having something bright and happy will at least make a drab, boring job a little bit less dreary.
3. I enjoy practical things that most builders don't consider in laundry room plans! I don't want a rinky-dink space or a teeny closet that hides only my washer and dryer, I want a small room that's practical but useful for space.

So here we go!

The picture middle row, middle down is borrowed from the blog: Casamacho. I adore the bright green walls and the reuse of a shelf from Ikea (after painting), placed sideways. I love the basket organization and the hand-made fabric "curtains" hanging to hide ugly cords. Gorgeous room, but fully practical!

The picture middle row, bottom is borrowed from Pioneer Woman in her Lodge postings. I absolutely love the window to bring natural light into her room (doesn't that automatically make a room more happy?). I'm also in love with her glass paned dresser with to-die-for counter space! Once again, utilizing shelving for anything you could need (laundry soaps, bleach, fabric softners, ect). Brilliant.
