I love having every room in my house organized and my laundry room is no exception. It’s that little room that catches everything you can’t find a place for so on top of the washing machine it goes.
Cooper and Cherry my sweet Shih Tzu’s love to go places with me or on walks. All of their leashes, treats and poop baggies are in my laundry room. There really isn’t a place for these things just where ever they land. I found this great little box at a thrift store only $3.99. As soon as I picked it up I knew what I would use it for.
I painted it out in light gray, 2 coats. While it was drying I laid all the puppies things out on my work table so I could decide on what all I needed to add to make it functional. I needed hooks for leashes, a place for the poop baggies and a place for treats. I always take treats when I take them out of the house so having them ready to go will be a plus.
I decided to add a bit of whimsical by adding the wood words on the front. I love my puppy dogs and consider them my sweet little friends so the words “Hello Friends” on the front of the door seemed so perfect.
Once dried I sanded off my edges and corners and gave it 2 coats of clear finish. I attached my hooks, knobs and whimsical touches. I’m so I n love with this piece. It’s fun, whimsical and functional. It puts everything away and when I need these things I know right where they are.
Organizing your home in a decorative way can only make you smile and make you Blue Happy. I know my day goes so much better if I start out the morning organized. It is so easy and cheap to get your home organized so go find those things that can make you, your home and your day be an organized in a Blue Happy way. Go be Blue Happy!
