Decorate By Organizing a Laundry Room
Can you really spend money on decorating a laundry room when a budget is tight? Of course you can – specially when decorating involves organizing and using what you already have or can obtain on the cheap at a thrift store! Let me give you some quick ideas to show you what I mean! • Make a bag for everyone. On the wall, attach inexpensive coat hooks in a row about 6 inches apart – one for each member of the family. In the linen closet or at a thrift shop, pick out one pillowcase in a bright color for each family member. Use markets to label each bag, or color code them with each member’s favorite color. Thread a length of rope through the deep hem at the open end of the pillowcase (you will have to open a side seam to do it). Tie the end of the rope over a coat hook. This idea gives each family member a laundry bag for soiled garments as well as adding color to the room. Laundry bags can also be made out of recycled bath towels. Sew two together on three sides.
