Laundry Rooms 2

A few thoughts before I show you these gorgeous laundry rooms and accoutrements.

Why is it when a hubby retires all of a sudden my cabinets and pantry need rearranging? Or I can't cook?! I've done these things for him—even while maintaining a job—for over 51 years. It's getting out of control around here and I'm going to have to put my foot down, perhaps on HIS foot. ;-) I love keeping my home...MY way.

One of the reasons for my recent surgery involved birthing 9 pound babies. Our daughter was 9 lbs. 1 oz. She was also 23" long. Hubs told someone the other night she was 24". I said, No, she was 23" and he looked at me and said, "I was there." I looked at him and said, "No, you weren't. You dropped me off at the hospital and returned the car we had to borrow to get there. But I was definitely there and have the birth certificate to prove it." I had to call him on the phone and tell him she had arrived. Father's memories, hah!

Why should we have to tip at the ice cream parlor? They scoop up an ice cream cone and hand it to me after I've waited in line for several minutes. They get a wage. And at almost $9 for 2 dishes of ice cream I don't think I should have to tip. Same with buffets. I do all the work except clean up the table. Wait. Sometimes, we even do that! You want a tip, give me some real service. And I tip restaurants nicely for good service also.

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from a regard to their own interest. Greed was what compels every business to serve its customers. It's what has guaranteed the best product at the best price. I pay premium prices for the best meat and expect my butcher to sell me the best quality and if, after cooking, it doesn't measure up, then I take the receipt back and expect either money back or another piece of meat. It hasn't happened often, but it has happened and I've been compensated with a smile. That's what good companies do and good customers expect.

My hubs has often not heard my yes or no answer to a question or has misinterpreted it. I now answer right or correct to his question.

I loved this little sign when I saw it and have no doubt you'll also drool over it. Your hubs could make it easily for you.


Small, economical and it works!


This also is tiny and can work well.


We need a new laundry hamper and I'm leaning towards one like this. Looks sturdier than the one we have now.


The color is what drew me here. You can tell, right?


Small, tidy, efficient and could also be done in a garage laundry area.


Okay, so some megabucks people live here and it would be a waste of space for me but it sure is pretty for the maid when doing laundry.


Cute and colorful.


Even getting back to basics can be cute and updated!


I've always liked the idea of pretty containers for laundry soap in my laundry room.


Just too much room for me and th' hubs but it looks like they've adapted it to gift wrapping also. This room has more cabinet space than I have in my whole house!


I'd love to have that soap dish and container hanging on the wall. Cute and practical.


A homeowner revamped her basement to make it user-friendly and pretty when she has chores to do down there. She's hidden all kinds of pipes and ugly walls with just curtains. Works magically. Lovely.


Small, elegant and cute.


Part of a laundry room. I like how the owner used the door knobs as holders though.
