I ENVY those who have a laundry room in the house. My laundry is in the basement where it cannot be a finished basement and it’s right next to the garage. It’s also where I keep my gardening tools (even when I don’t really have green thumbs). There’s aways water leaking from the walls, especially when it’s raining cats and dogs! It can’t be finished, the walls can’t be painted or else it’ll still get ruined.
Here’s the BEFORE:
All I need is soap, bounce, and bleach. No need for organized shelfing. And when I need laundry done, it’s done and folded and put away all in the same day! So, I don’t dump clothes on the floor there because of the leaking problem.
Here’s the AFTER:
Basically all I did was wipe down the dust from lint filter. Not much of difference.
Now, to be fair since this took me only 2 minutes. I decided yesterday that I’ll tackle something else. Since I do not have a toy organizer area, I tackled my bookshelf. As I was doing that, I remembered I had few books on my nightstand that should go on the bookshelf. Seeing my nightstand gave me an idea!
Here’s the BEFORE:
You can see few books sitting on the nightstand, along with some used kleenex, dust, coughdrops, loose papers… Messy!
Here’s the AFTER:
ALL CLEAN!! Threw away the loose papers, three magazines thrown away, one I kept but it’s on the bookshelf now. I had my nailfile, shoe helper thingy, and few coughdrops I’d like to keep it there. I remembered I had a candle voltive up in the guest room, sitting on the window sill because it gives the room a bit of color. I went and got that, washed it out and put those things in there. That should keep my nightstand from being a mess. I have another nightstand but nothing really on it. I just wiped it down and looks cleaner.
Now, off to visit a dear friend in ICU, then pick up a friend’s son from school, and teach at 6. Crazy day! But glad I got my challenge done and out of the way for today. Have a great day!!
