LAUNDRY ROOM RE-VAMP

Laundry rooms can be a bit challenging to keep clean and organized especially if you have a small space like I do. 

Our laundry room is currently in a large closet. I find myself putting everything in here before friends and family come over & shutting the doors. It's a horrible habit! 

I noticed myself keeping extra items in here and not sorting anything. It was a hot spot for random junk I was too lazy to organize or throw out. 

As a 2017 goal, I wanted to get more organized & help others get more organized. 

I decided I would start this blog and start showing my before and after pictures to help others get motivated! 

Above are before and after pictures of my tiny laundry room.

Here are the simple steps on how I achieved this clean organized look.

1. TAKE EVERYTHING OUT 

This is such a crucial step to getting organized. I find when I take everything out and start fresh it forces me to sort through all of the items I have into 2 simple piles. 

2. SORT YOUR ITEMS 

I have two simple piles every time I organize. A keep pile & a garbage pile. 

Some things to think about when sorting; 

Do I love this item? Does this item really need to be here, or can it be stored somewhere else? Have I used this item in the last 6 months? (If no, throw out!) 

3. CLEAN & PLAN

After I have sorted my items I do a deep clean of the space. It feels so much better when you know it's a clean slate! I also start planning out how I want to store items, is there a specific decor style I want to go with etc. 

4. START ORGANIZING 

Now for the fun part! Once I have an idea of storage bins and decor I start putting my items in there new place. I LOVE baskets and find they keep me SO organized. I also 

HOW I ORGANIZED MY LAUNDRY ROOM

Top Shelf - 1 Toilet paper 2. Extra Sheets 3. Extra bedspread 

Middle Shelf - Towels, A container from The Superstore that holds my dryer sheets, A container that holds my TidePods also from Walmart. & Another container from the dollar store that holds extra laundry soap and other essentials. 

Bottom Racks - I have a small container that holds all single socks & on the other side I have a small cup that I use to put hair elastics, change etc. Pretty much anything I find in pockets.
