I was recently featured on the Beyond the Rack blog and they asked some great questions. Click here to check it out ( you may have to scroll down a bit). Enjoy!
Your laundry room can be pretty too!
I am a huge proponent of the concept of "store it where you use it" and your laundry supplies are a perfect example.
Try to have all of your laundry supplies within reach when you need them. For any products you frequently use make sure they are set up in the most efficient way possible. For instance, try tearing the top off of the box of fabric softener sheets and using a larger detergent container with a spout.
Easy to clean plastic bins with labels are a great way to group together similar products. A peel'n'stick shelf liner with a cool pattern can go a long way towards achieving the look you want. Personally, I love mixing patterns with complimenting colors.
The shelf liner is a great double duty product. It can cover up the ugly underneath and create an easily wipable surface. If you look closely I also put some shelf liner directly on some of the products for a cleaner look . Just be sure to not cover any safety information!
You will be surprised how just a few small changes will simplify your daily chores!
Ditch that Junk Drawer
Its in nearly every home, some people may even have more than one. . .
the dreaded Junk Drawer.
Keep the contents of the tray simple: a few pens, notepad, paperclips, elastics, hand sanitizer, etc
Sure, you need a place to store a few odds and ends, but you don't need a whole drawer of them!
Can you really find anything in there anyway?Take a few minutes to go through that overflowing junk drawer of yours and pare it down to the essentials. Now you can replace it with a Trinket Tray!
Find an inexpensive, small tray that goes with your room's decor and Voila! Not only have you just limited the amount of things you can store there; you now have an extra drawer. The things you need are now more accessible!
