Debbie: What a great looking laundry room! Thumbs up I've never minded doing laundry but it sure would be nice to have an organized and pleasant looking space ... and you've given me some ideas to dress up my own laundry room!

I hope to someday have an inside laundry room. My laundry room is currently in the garage ... I've always said it must have been a man who decided that's where a laundry room should be situated!! Grumbling

LOL, We don't have basements here in this part of Florida but I think some homes in the northern part of the state have them. I guess I can't complain too much, my house is small and only one story ... so it's not too long of a walk to the laundry room in the garage! Big Grin

Oh, my laundry room isn't that large. I think about 8.5 ft x 5.5 ft. I think the thing I disliked about it the most was the shelves above. They caught everything, anyone didn't want to put away. And cloths hangers everywhere along with the bottles of detergent and softeners. And shoes on the floor behind the door. YUK. I really didn't like going in there. But after I cleaned everything, painted the walls, painted on my shelves, I like it a lot better. And I love my baskets. One holds the hangers , one the bottles and things and one is for me to throw my garden gloves, hats, etc in. The thing that is so wonderful, is that since I re did it two years or so ago, no one throws their junk in there anymore. Thumbs up

When we were first married, my washer and dryer were in the lower garage part of an upstairs garage apartment. It was so dreary (and scary.) To brighten it up, I could have taken a pretty bed sheet with flowers on it and nailed it to the wall behind the washer and dryer. Then taken a board and cut it the size of the flat part of my dryer top. Covered the raw board with a towel or foam stapled around to the underside, and then used the pillowcase that matched the sheet on the wall, to slide the covered board into. That would be a cool place to fold clothes. Hmm, I may do one of those for my tile table. Whistling I've gotten too old to hang around in dreary places. Wonder if I could train Buttercup to fold clothes when she visits?

Oh dear Chris, you don't think our Buttercup would poop on my cloths do you?

And yes, they do like to poop as they fly, no matter what is under them. Rolling on the floor laughing

I really need to get busy and make a few more birds. Really messed up my knee a few weeks ago and can barely walk these days so I haven't got much of anything done. (MRI this afternoon to hopefully find out whats wrong.) I did make some new critters that hang on flower pots that I think turned out really cute.
