Laundry Room: Making a house a Home Series

Part of Making a House a Home series we have to touch the most hated room in every house.
The laundry room.
It hunts all of us but we needed it oh so much.
As much as I do hate doing laundry the joy clean smell clothes bring to me is out of this world.

This ready is pretty ugly, as much as we have tried to fix it up is juts never pretty so this room will get a facelift.

In our house, our laundry room is the connecting room to the garage, our home daycare, so its even more important that it always be clean and clear.
But at the same time is a very small room or hallway, so we have to be smart with our storage solutions and choices of colors.
Here is some inspiration from Pinterest and we hope to have it completed quite soon.

And then here are my laundry dreams....

We can all dream a little right?!
This spacious room is amazing, and the basket storage is over the top. Great way to separate the clothes and set it there ready for the wash.

The thing about most of this pictures is the board on top on the washer and dryer to be able to set my baskets and fold clothes. The cabinets to put in the soap and softener and honestly to hid a bit of the mess and missing socks.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one who loose all if not most of the socks. I always end up with only one sock, when I know I put two inside.  I just really hope all of them are together somewhere, maybe laughing at me. :))

But, back to the laundry room can't wait to add this to our list and have it finished.

Playroom hopes and dreams

Before we got pregnant our friends would joke about the fact that our house was always neat.
No toys, no mess!
Everything had a place and everything was in its place.

And then Bella came....

Our life was completely changed and we loved every single aspect of it. Her room was a dream. Everything was white or off-white with hues of purple and gold. Our room had her packing play with a few cubbies organized with wipes, diapers, and other necessities. Around the house, we didn't have any colored toys or swings or bouncers. We had our 4Moms mama roo and a high chair that matched perfectly with our dining room set and then..... We had a 21-month old who loves toys and like any other toddler loves to leave them all over the house.

We have tried our best to pick up the toys but after doing it 20 times a day it gets tiring.  I have also tried to just leave them there and have her pick them up but after stepping on too many legos I stopped thinking that was a good idea, well it really never was right?!

Insert our office...

Our office is never used, hence the reason why we got laptops, it's usually the put in room. What does that mean? That it works more as a storage.

In our hopes to figure it out, we came up with the idea to use the office as a playroom/ office. Our only issue is that our office is relatively small so we have to come up with ways to fit everything.

 I naturally headed to Pinterest to find ideas and here is what I found!

We want to pretty space to work in it but also fun enough for her to enjoy being there and hopefully keep the mess in one room instead of the whole entire house.

And if you have any tips, please share them, believe me we need it!

Hope you guys have an amazing Friday!
