I think I promised you last week I’d show you my laundry room (ok so it was 3 weeks ago!) but then laundry day rolled around and there were piles of clothes everywhere which you don’t really want to see.
Then there’s this fun deal Buddy Cuddles (meet him here) and I have, where he pees on the rug and I wash it, let it air dry, finally put it back on the floor only to have him immediately pee on it again. Not sure if this makes me the dumb one or him? Probably the former…
Ok, can I just say how difficult this room is to photograph? It is long and narrow, here I’ll show you…
Buddy enjoying some laundry fresh out of the dryer.
And take a look at those floors, the Mr. and I laid all the tile in here ourselves, so don’t take too close a look actually :)
I keep extra cleaning rags to wipe Buddy’s muddy paws in basket 01 and my camera stuff in 02.
Did I mention that our laundry room is command central for us?
We each have our own file space.
Even Buddy has his very own personal food tins.
A place for our keys, and the Sunday school verse of the week.
The mail basket, ooh there’s a hint in there – I may be MIA in a few weeks :)
This board keeps me organized all week. I painted it blue and added some empty frames to add a little more fun.
I always write our menu out so I remember what I need to defrost or grab from the store.
If you have good eyesight (and if you can read my chicken scratch) you can sneak a peak and what ideas are coming up on the blog :)
I have a little spot for my magazines at the end of my long folding counter, I like to sneak some reading in while I wait to switch out the laundry.
Here’s another look at my Laundry Sign
I got this shelf and everything on it from Home Goods.
This room is still a work in progress, this is poor Buddy’s blah little spot right now, but I have grand plans for a built in doggy bed and a better recycling area than these ugly old bins.
Stay tuned for part 2, but not anytime soon…remember my 32 zillion other blog ideas?
Looks great! Love all your organization! Pinning this –

Fantastic job!
Looks like a very efficient spot! Good luck with Buddy and your rug!
SO nice and pretty and organized!! LOVE how it came out! I really like your memo board with the frames!! What a cute idea ;) ~Bre
I love it, Kelly! I wish I had a pretty laundry room, but we just have a boring area in the basement for ours! Oh, and I think I may have seen my name on your board! We must talk about that soon! :)

You really used your space wisely! It looks so cute, too…I love all of the baskets and your framed board with the little frames. What a fantastic idea! You did a great job, even with the floors!
I hear you about the puppy and the rug. Mine likes to sneak off to the bathroom (!!) during the night and go on the rug. Now I just use the rug during the day and I can clean the little puddle up with a few Lysol wipes. Dogs will be dogs! ;-D
XO,
Jane
Your laundry room looks great and so functional a t the same time!
beautiful space! I am obsessed with your command central. The frames were a great idea!
Your laundry space looks just perfect:) Those tiles look great and I like the addition of baskets, the home goods shelf, and you love the rug. Your puppy is so cute. I have two dogs.. and live in the pacific northwest where it’s always muddy, wet, and icy in the winter. I go through SO many towels drying the dogs off!
Congratulations on getting this done. We are DIY-er’s and I can appreciate the time and effort required to to these projects!

Oh Kelly, it all looks so pretty and organized! Your command central is AWESOME! I love the frames and that sign! Good luck with Buddy!
Everything looks perfectly organized! Love it!!
You are so amazing. When I win the lotto, I am going to hire you to decorate my house. Err. My new mansion. Because I would have just won the lotto…
Love this! I need some serious help in my laundry room- pinning and hoping I can get hubby to agree to some of these changes!
So pretty! I love the white board idea. Our laundry room is in a part of the house away from the kitchen but maybe a good spot for my kids chore charts!
Love the colors you selected too!
our Laundry room is gorgeous and functional! I am so impressed! Please tell me WE are going somewhere exotic!!
Love your nice sized laundry room and all the details.

So cute – I think I could even spend time there – and I hate laundry! Take care, Laura

Love that room! I really like that your command center is in there too … I may need to revamp my room now!
Oh I love it! I love how clean and simple it is! I need to get to work on mine! xo, Kimberly
Love your laundry room! You are super organized. I wish I had just a little bit of organization. I am always all over the place. Gad to have found your blog over at Linda’s.Newest Follower.
Love your laundry room…so pretty and organized. I love that you have a white board with lists and reminders in there….what a great idea!
It looks beautiful! So pretty and organized!
My Laundry room is on my to do list!! Yours looks so amazing!
Wow! I wish I had a nice laundry room. Mine is the dreaded unfinished basement that looks like a dungeon. Nice job. I am hosting a link party and would love it if you would check it out. Thanks.

Great room! Where did you get those really cute day of the week magnets that you show on the board with the menu?
Thanks! I got the magnets at Target, it was a while back but they are fun :)
Love it! Mine is in the process of a redo. I have a huge scratching post and the puppy’s cage and all the ugly pet food/litter containers. Hubs makes fun of me because I said I wanted pretty pet food tins!! I’m showing him this :)
What a beautiful laundry room! I wouldn’t even mind doing laundry there. Awesome command center too! I’d love it if you linked this to my new linky party, “What We’ve Accomplished Wednesdays.” It is live right now.
Have a great week!
Deborah
Wow, you are one organized girl! Love it. Buddy seems to love it also!
What a great space! So organized. The command centre is so nice to have and Buddy is too cute (even if he pees on the rug). :)
Oh I am having some serious laundry room envy over here! Just found you today through Southern Hospitality and am happy to have singed up to follow you :) Beautiful home. I grew up spending summers on a lake and the pictures of your view are so nostalgic for me. There is absolutely nothing like waking up to sunshine on water in the morning! Hope you have a great weekend!
I love your laundry room, Kelly! Featuring you over on the Worthing Court Facebook page at 9am today.
So far so great!
Love the look and use of space. :)
Can’t wait to see the doggy bed.
Have a great weekend.
Kelly
Your laundry room is gorgeous. I love all the organizational things you incorporated.
Ruth
Beautiful! Every single little detail! I love the frames on the whiteboard! SO cute! Thank you for sharing your talent with us! I am pinning!
Jaime from Crafty Scrappy Happy
Love it! A great look and great organization ideas too. Love the white board with the frames added. I may have to find a spot in our kitchen for an idea like this. Or maybe inside our office armoire. (No mudroom and laundry room is upstairs with bedrooms.)
What a lovely job you’ve done on your laundry room, it’s beautiful! I’ve got this linked to my DIY laundry rooms post too today!
Hi! I aspire to have such a functional command center! It’s beautiful! Where did you get the wire paper sorting rack you have hung on the wall?
I love your laundry room!! Can you tell me what your countertop is made of? Thanks! :)
I, too, am working on making our kitchen and laundry/mudroom less cluttered and more functional. I’m going to second Stephanie and ask where you got your wire paper sorting rack that’s hung on your wall – I’ve been looking for something like that for the longest time!
Thanks Megan, it’s from HomeGoods!
Where did you get the wire holders hanging on the wall?
What is the paint color?
I’m also wondering where you got the metal hanging file/bins on the wall. I love them :) great job on your laundry room……I’m inspired to go tackle mine now.
HomeGoods :)
What is the paint color?
Where did you get the hanging file baskets? I have been looking for these everywhere!!!
Do you remember where you got that wall mount file organizer?? I need one of those desperately for homework! Can you email me please!
