Mess Management Monday #8: Laundry Room and a Printable

This week I need to spend some time clearing out and organizing my Laundry Room.  We are lucky enough to have a large room with a long cabinet where I can fold our clothes, but it has become a mess.  Since we are getting rid of a lot of clutter AND furniture in The Great Sale of 2011, I need the Laundry Room to do more.  I need to store our car electronics, product information/manuals, lightbulbs, a small tool box, as well as extra cleaning supplies, Christmas decorations, and paint.

I decided to start this project at Pinterest.  If you aren't familiar with Pinterest- they have some great beginner's guides on their site.  I LOVE IT!  My favorite thing is that it does more than just save a picture- it stores info like the site it was pinned from, and a small description of it, AND you can sort your pins in different categories (Boards).

Here are some ideas that have inspired me:

But none of these ideas help as far as the non-Laundry Room things I need to store in this room, so I kept looking.

What a great idea for keeping all of those little swatches of paint with you. I think I might make two of these- one for my purse and one to hang on the front of my cabinet.

I love this idea from Brooklyn Limestone.  Follow the Pinterest link to view the original post.  She has included a link to a free printable for the paint can labels!


Well this is a start.  Check back later to see my completely reorganized Laundry Room!
