My laundry room situation has always been  a trouble spot for me in this house.  Part of the problem is that I do not have an entire room set aside just for laundry, this room is shared with the pantry off of the kitchen.

In my dreams I would love to have a laundry room with organization like this.  Source.

Alas, I don’t have that kind of space or light.  I have adopted a few little organizational ideas however.

I now have my Oxyclean in a cute little canister rather than the ugly plastic container that it comes in.

  I also have a little white ceramic container which is where I put Box Tops once they are cut out.  For a long time they simply lived in a ziploc on top of the counter, so this little pot is a great esthetic improvement.

As I mentioned the other day, we also have the basket where unclaimed toys go in the laundry room.

 You can see that I have my Wallflower inserts in a egg carton.  I am sure there are many more clever ways to store these.  I will let you know if I come up with anything clever.

I love the shelf we installed a few months ago.  It really allows us to have more room to organized.  You can read that post HERE.

So, as far as a real persons house goes, I think we are doing pretty well on the laundry room front.  It isn’t magazine worthy, but it works.  I mean, really, do you know anyone whose laundry room really looks like those super staged beautifully designed spaces?
