It's only fun when it pays... Is the laundry room the one room that practicality wins out over beauty? There are hundreds of thousands of photos of beatiful living spaces- bedrooms, dining areas, bathrooms, kitchens. When it comes to the laundry room, it's a lot harder to find an overly beautiful laundry room. Maybe it's because no one really enjoys doing laundry, so what would be the point of putting much effort into a beautiful, well designed laundry room. Well, as much as I dislike (hate is a strong word) doing laundry, I am not getting out of it. Thanks a lot, clothe diapers... However, I do think that doing laundry in a beautiful space would make it less brutal. With some great organization, hidden junk, and a good cheery colour or bright white, I bet I might even catch myself not despising laundry so much. Maybe. I'll get to working on that one... In order to bring a little bit of joy to the laundry chore, here are a few fun things I can picture going into my laundry room. I'm a sucker for the weird things that make me smile. Much needed when I'm all grumpy because I am doing laundry. Every laundry room needs hooks, right? So, what laundry room is complete without a jackalope wall hook?

Little Helper Container design by imm Living - $56.00 Retail Price: $66.00 You Save: $10.00 from: Burke Decor LLC One thing about laundry rooms, is that it IS nice to have the neccessities close at hand. But I can't think of anything less attractive than massive jugs of detergent and bleach, so why not think out of the box a little and use a nice container like below. Just throw a label on it so there is no confusion about what's what! I guess we'd need to change the saying to "When life hands you limes, start folding laundry" with this lime exploding jug! Or not...
