Laundry Night

It's laundry night and I am dreaming of a proper laundry room while running from my apartment to the basement to a room full of bad washing machines and one folding table.  I dream of organic cleaners and proper surfaces to fold things. Here's one that has got me weak kneed....

It's not about the energy star appliances for me (though, they are great) but the actual set up.  Things on my must have list...

1.  Retractable clothes line, $9.99 

That allows me to hang up things when I need to while not hogging good space when I don't.   

2.  Folding ironing board,  $24.99

It's just impossible to iron without a board and man, have I tried.  This little number is the little black dress of the laundry room, a true stand by. 

3.  Laundry baskets, $24.99

From sorting colors and white ... to sorting things that need to be ironed ... baskets are indispensable to any laundry room. 

4.  Adjustable Garmet Rack,  $24.99

For those longer items that need some hanging room.

Live large and with clean clothes, 

Frances

Laundry Night

Mondays.  Oh Mondays.

Mondays bring the week's to do list.  Top of mine? Laundry.  At the Gift Show, I found several things that might make the task if not more fun, at least easier. 

Toss Design has a divided storage unit. It's good for many things like keeping toys in a playroom, storing sports equipment by the back door or as laundry bin.  This cool bin would also be helpful in the laundry room with one side for clothing to "donate" and the other side for things that need "repairing." 

 Check out these over sized totes from Dransfield and Ross.  Already labeled, these pretty yet practical totes give instant organization to the laundry room.

Has the pile of dirty clothes reached epic levels?  Check out this large bin on casters made from vintage heavy duty canvas from Vagabond.  It'll handle everything you throw at it.

French Laundry Home created their version of a laundry basket using vintage linen that's marked lights/darks/dry clean.  With a top on each basket, it's a nice option because no one will see your dirty laundry.

Now, if only the clothes would wash themselves....

Live large,
