.… one that any man in your life will surely appreciate!.

So even though the whole room isn’t really ready for its close up, I just had to tell you all about it!.Our laundry room is a little nook off of our kitchen so we like it to be pretty tidy and also to function really well, since it’s one of the first things you see when you come in through the kitchen mud room.

It’s been kind of a resting place for lots of different things over the last few years, but nothing that really helped its function as a laundry room/pantry/extra kitchen space/whatever.Whenever I folded laundry, it would end up in piles on the kitchen table.The table is pretty big, so we could still find space to eat at it, but it was just really a big eyesore.. Chris had the idea to put a long counter in the laundry room for me to fold on and then he also thought we might as well add in a cork board and make it kind of a command center too!

So here’s what we came up with!.I use it everyday for laundry, but also as an extra prep space for putting plates of food on once they’re prepared, or to lay things out when I’m packing us up for a weekend away.

It really has made a big difference in the whole kitchen!

I love that it can easily hold about three big loads of folded laundry, so if I don’t get time to put it away over the weekend, it still has a place to live and be tidy and out of the way..I put two and two together a couple of weeks ago and came up with a pretty clever little solution to this issue, if I do say so myself!

Here’s what you do!.Start with a candle that you love but that can’t be lit anymore.
