Updated look at my kitchens

I decided after over a year living here and trying things my hubbys way the kitchen being downstairs was not working for me so I moved it upstairs and moved the kitchen from upstairs down and it is working out so much better for me I can be up here while the kids are playing outside.   This also give me a lot more room to work with when I am cooking because I did not have very much counter space down stairs but have a lot upstairs.  So here are a few pictures for you to see and then there is a video where I walk you through both kitchens listed below.  I hope you enjoy.    Video links http://youtu.be/iABZ8hkBE9Y

Laundry Room Organization

Hi all,  It has been a long time since I was able to blog on here but I want to get into a regular posting schedule again.  So I thought that I would start with my laundry room.  This was a project that I have been wanting to do for a long time.  My laundry room is a very small room so it is hard to do laundry in there, so I needed some new organization to make things easier and to make the best use of the space.

I will give you a break down on how i organized the space.  (There will be a video link at the bottom of this post walking you though the organization that I did.)

First I started with the top shelf on right hand side when you walk in the door.  In this area I moved the boxes from the under the stairs closet that hold my keepsakes.  (Things like kids baby books and such as well and wedding things and such that I just dont want to get rid of but do not need to access regularly.) The next shelf down holds blankets.  The next shelf down holds 3 buckets that have each one of my kids name on it their clean clothes go in these and they put them away.  In front of this shelf is a tension rod that holds hang up clothes that are not being stored in the closet at the moment and that need to dry.  All of this is hid by a shower curtin.

 Here is three shelves and a peg board it is holding things in this order, top shelf is tools and dryer parts as well as paint.  Second shelf is letters that can be hung in the kids room and other extras like the wii box and a hat.  I have left the third shelf empty for things that need to be used for my daughters cheer squad.  Then below is a peg board that hold extras from couponing like floss and razors and such.


 These three shelves I installed.   Top shelf holds a basket that holds my extra drying mats for the dish drainers in the kitchens as well as the jugs for making laundry soap.  Second shelf is empty for now.  Third shelf holds a basket that has things like tooth paste and samples of shampoo and conditioners. and a rag for wiping off the washer and dryer.  
 I added this shelf above the washer and dryer and it holds my laundry soap and starch for ironing and stuff.  There is also a basket for things I find in the washer.
 Here is a shelf system that I installed the top shelf holds a bucket that has cleaning supplies and then two empty containers that I put powder laundry soap in for the winter because we have no heat in this room  then the far container holds extra gifts to grab if I need to run out to a birthday.  Second shelf holds lightbubls, a extra air freshener then the box holds shoe polish and then on the far side is extra soap and fabric softener.

Then I keep my iron on the door with a over the door hanger.
