that make me happy. Like the $10 I spent on my laundry room yesterday. I was frustrated b/c obviously, laundry is a big job around here, but I only have a laundry closet, and my laundry and everything else spills out into the kitchen all the time. One big issue I have had is hangers....everywhere. All the hanging space I have goes to clothes. If you look at the hooks on the wall in the background, they are usually covered in hanging clothes. And it doesn't take much to crowd me out, and there surely isn't room to hang empty hangers. So, where are they? Tangled up in a laundry basket, or spilled out all over the floor....and I am stepping on them, breaking them, and sliding down. I was looking around yesterday trying to figure out what I could do to help myself out, so I went in search at the Dollar Stores.
I got these over the door hanging hooks that I can use for the adult clothes.
On the shelf, I was already using the containers to sort each child's clothes out in, so when it is full, I just hand them the bucket and have them go put them away. Thanks to Angie for the idea. The basket beside is for my 100's of socks. When the basket is overflowing, I fold socks. (that would be about every 2 days.) I got a shower curtain rod for $8 to hang below the shelf to put all my hangers on it. WOW....it has made my laundry day so much better today!! Clay said that should save me about an hour a week, untangling hangers....I think it saved more than that. At first he said, "you paid $8 just to have something to hang empty hangers on?" And I sure did, and it was worth every dollar for my sanity! Hey, $8 for a hanging rod, $1 for a theraputic toy....it all comes out in the end, don't ya think?
Looks like $$'s well spent in both cases!! Way to organize!! I well remember 2 little girls that dearly loved their sit-n-spins.
ReplyDeleteLove it
ReplyDeleteOkay, now i want to go do laundry and organize something.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those! Empty hangers are my enemy. They can really enrage me! lol (I guess if that's the most frustrating part of a day, that's really awesome!) I love the idea of having a specific place just for them. I'm going to search my laundry area now and see if I can find a place for even a small rod for that!
