Yay for laundry! Oh, who am I kidding?

Okay, it is no secret that I have a bit of a hate-hate relationship with my laundry. BUT...jace did a mini-makeover in my laundry room, and now it is SO MUCH more bearable! I don't have any before pictures (I am horrible at that, apparently), but the washer dryer used to be side by side, with one small cabinet above them. I must make a few confessions. First, that before Jace built me this new cabinet, laundry day was ugly, really ugly! My laundry room shares a zipcode with our downstairs bathroom. On laundry day (which insidentally, is almost everyday at our house), there were laundry piles on the entire floor. You could not even get to the toilet without feeling like you had hiked Mt. Everest. Second, if anyone ever came over on "laundry day," all of those piles got shoved into the shower. Curtain CLOSED! Classy, I know! Third, I wanted to wait to post pictures of this until the baskets were all empty, but let's face it, that could take years! I guess you will just have to imagine that they are all empty, and that I don't actually have five loads of laundry. We won't talk about the four loads that are waiting in the guest room/office, waiting to be folded. Fourth, I have to admit that it bugs me so much that I have one basket that doesn't match the rest. They only had 5 of the baskets when I purchased them (my other baskets didn't match each other, and I could not bear to have mismatched baskets in various shapes and sizes on display). After looking at these pictures, I fear that I MUST run to target as soon as possible, and fix this monstrosity! Wow, talk about airing out my dirty laundry. Pun intinded. The truth is that I still hate doing laundry, but it doesn't seem as daunting when it looks this pretty. It makes me happy. So very happy!!!

I found this picture that was taken of the laundry room before we moved in.
