For over two years we've been maneuvering the chore of cleaning clothes in our basement laundry dungeon.
It's cold, claustrophobic, a little creepy and not that much fun to be in.
And when I say "not that much fun" I mean I would rather eat a gigantic bowl of brussel sprouts then be in there doing laundry.
As well as being a laundry room it's also doubled as a dumping ground for storage and 2 refrigerators (one of which just broke).
Making this space over has been in the works for a while

The laundry dungeon and a $500. gift card giveaway.
My laundry room...aka THE LAUNDRY DUNGEON.
I'll be honest...I get a little scaredy-cat-pants to go down there.
It's cold, dark and gloomy. The florescent lighting hums and makes you look jaundice.
It doesn't help that I DESPISE doing laundry.
And rightfully so.
Doing the laundry for 4 men and myself is a daily chore.
Everyday I run up and down the stairs to my laundry dungeon with a full basket of dirties.
Well, I plan to change all that. Unfortunately, my redesign plan got put on
The wall that had 9 lives.
Interior design is very much like fashion. It changes over time.
Which is why I change the rooms in my home.
Often.
(I wish I had the same passion for fashion as I did interiors but I'm still wearing the same hole-y jeans from 6 years ago).
This wall is the wall that had 9 lives.
First, it was...a disaster.
Then it was white.
Then I stenciled it.
Then it went black.
Loved the black the most but I just painted the opposite wall a faux black shiplap and there was too much black
How I keep my home clutter free.
In my last post I showed some pictures of our great room, which always sparks a lot of questions...
Where are all the toys?
Do you really live like that?
Why don't you have anything on your counters?
Do you clean all day?
How do you keep your house clean with all those boys?
Frankly, I'm flattered...I wish I could said it always looked like this.
Here's the deal-io...I strive to keep my house like this as much as possible. "Strive" mind you. Growing up, I was raised primarily by my dad
Chalk paint 1st timer + $100 gift card giveaway.
If you've been around the DIY blog block then you definitely know there's a buzz about chalk paints.
Frankly, I haven't been hugely intrigued after having read all sorts of posts about the paints.
Then I was sponsored to fly out to Memphis last month by ACE Hardware and attend an Amy Howard paint and finishes workshop.
(Hard day at the office right?)
When I actually saw how Amy used her paint on the pieces in her own home I was sold.
(Amy actually diy'ed that black and white art piece
Boy Bedroom Reveal.
It's the oldest boy's bedroom reveal day!
Let us all sigh a breath of relief.
I had this dream that my boys would grow up best of buddies, never fight, love sharing a room (obviously I have only-child-syndrome).
Ehem, I stand corrected.
Best to give them their own rooms.
Without further adieu...
I embarrassed to show that this is what we started with.
Kind of like that junk drawer everyone has but ours was a whole room. (Please tell me we're not the only one who had one of
