NY Laundry

My sister-in-law in New York has done it again.

The washer and dryer in her house are downstairs,

but there is a laundry room on the main floor that was used for storage.

Now they want it to be for doing laundry.

Here's what it looked like after they got rid of the flooring...

And here it is now...

Kinda makes me want to do some of my own laundry.

Not really, what it really does is make me wish my husband could do tile!

Catch up week - Day One

The husband, the 15-year-old, and the 12-year-old left for scout camp this morning.

A couple of years ago, while they and the 10-year-old went on a cruise,

I cleaned out, organized, and had the garage walls and floor painted as a surprise.

I was trying to decide what project to do this week,

so instead of a big project, I'm going to quickly revisit a few places that I've posted in the past.

Hopefully, the projects will take MUCH LESS time this time around.

Today, I cleaned the laundry room.

It's amazing how many clothes you have when there are 8 people in your house.

That's 16+ socks a day, ya know!

Here's what it looked like this morning...

and what it looks like now...

This job took about two days less this time around!

More Hand-Me-Downs

I spent some time today going through twin 2-year-old clothes.

(I hadn't made it through all of the winter clothes yet.)

The pile in the laundry room was getting out of control.

So I sorted and bagged and now can hand them down another couple of 2-year-olds.

The Laundry Room

Do you know how much stuff you can fit in a 6'x10' space?

Just look at this laundry room!

I even moved the washer and dryer out and cleaned underneath.

That's two-and-a-half years worth of guck.

I had to use this cute little tool to get the dryer vent back on properly.

He did a fine job!

I put everything away.

I organized every drawer and cupboard.

 Apparently, I even made a place for a couple of little boys to play.

Here is what I'm getting rid of.  

A bag of boy clothes, a bag of girl clothes, and a bag and a box for the D.I.

This something better stay done for a long, long time

because it took three days to finish!
