Welcome to my neck of the woods…the laundry/craft room. This little room is a punch of color and joy in the landscape of our home. 
When we bought the house, the laundry room was right off the kitchen. We really wanted to open up and expand the kitchen so a relocate was in order. The best tip I can give you if you are remodeling is look to see where you can give up space. For us it was in a huge bedroom in the back of the house. This old ranch house had been through one remodel in the 7o’s and this room was the original master bedroom prior to that project. It was HUGE.
yuck…the laundry room space before!
This is part of the large bedroom we broke up to make the laundry room. The window you see here is the window now in the laundry room below.
With a little tweaking we were able to carve out a nice size laundry space and still have a large bedroom for my youngest son.
The black and white check floor is one of my favorite things about this room. It’s classic.
We added built ins that house all my crafty junk. Thank goodness. It’s a lot. 
There was still a need for easy access to all the paint and things I use regularly. I found these vintage soda crates and put them to work.
The built in desk is great for creating, dreaming and folding laundry.
I snagged the black photo boxes for a few dollars each during a sale at Michael’s. 
It is so nice to be organized in at least one room of my house! The baskets were a find from Lowe’s.
These big storage tubs are actually planters I got at a garage sale. I had planned on painting them, but I filled them up too fast! I love having things in the open, so I don’t forget the goodies I collect. It helps me know what I have on hand for projects. Behind it is a gigantic bulletin board full of all the mommy love my kids give.
You know the space for drawings and poems.
Tickets and cards.
Random scraps and treasures.
Oh – and my diploma. Doesn’t everyone keep theirs in the laundry room?
The details are what make my heart pitter patter…
No laundry room would be complete with out…the washer and dryer. Details on the drying rack here and here.
You can see the rest of my house here. Hope you enjoyed my little space.

June 28, 2015 at 6:54 PMThanks Kris – It is simply black and white ceramic tile laid on a diagonal. You can get it anywhere I think. Very inexpensive. I love it.
