Mark Twain once said: "Clothes make the man, naked people have little or no influence on society." While I feel his theory doesn't exactly hold up today's perverted society it does inspire me to do my laundry. There are chores I loath- one is going to the grocery store the other is laundry. I truly would rather buy new clothes than do laundry; but since my new years resolution was to not buy new clothes and I have made it this far I guess I should get myself in gear and do some laundry.
I have tried to enjoy laundry more by using the designer laundry products. I whole heartedly love Beach Days by the Good Home Company- it smells just like the beach- I even use the vacuum cleaner beads (somehow those do actually inspire me to vacuum) I have also been known to use the Pure Grass laundry products. I don't know how these ladies do it but they bottled the smell of fresh cut grass. I have also had a breif love affair with LeBlanc Linen wash. It is, as far as I am concerned, the only product to wash your delicates in. Plus if you actually have a linen tablecloth- this stuff is a miracle worker for food and wine stains. The only draw back to these lovely civilized products...$$$ they are like a crack for a domestic diva. They will bleed you dry because once you sleep on sheets that smell like the ocean (or at least how I think the ocean should smell) how can you ever go back to All???

| Love the hidden washer! |
And yet their allure has worn off...I still hate doing laundry..time to start dreaming bigger... My dream laundry room. There are so many things to factor into such a small space...To hide the washer or not...Wallpaper or tile the back splash??? no matter what a stylish light fixture is a must- no linear fluorescents for me!
 |
| Small spaces are a great place to go bold with wallpaper! |
 |
| Why stop with the wallpaper...go bold on the washer! |
 |
| these cabinets hide the washer and dryer so much you could stick them in the kitchen and not know they were there! |
 |
Modern cabinets to match the modern washer and dryer...Yes Please!
