Fresh and Springy

I spring cleaned the laundry room.  Our laundry room also has my paper crappin' supplies, a freezer, and anything that doesn't have a spot where it belongs.  It is a dumping ground for stuff.  I usually have a shopping bag for things that are going to be donated to our local thrift store.  The ironing pile is in the laundry room.  The big stuff from Costco that doesn't fit anywhere is in the laundry room.  A catch all...

I took everything out, and scrubbed every square inch, washed the curtains and throw rugs, purged the drawers and cabinets and felt pretty good about it.  One thing I wasn't happy with were the big bottles of bleach and vinegar sitting on the counter or the floor.  I had an idea but couldn't find the right size or shape for what I had in mind.  Yesterday, at Target, as I flew in for one item these beverage containers caught my eye on a bottom shelf.  One gallon size, pretty, not too tall, exactly what I needed.  I had told myself I could purchase them if I cleaned the room and found the right ones.  BINGO!

I labeled them with a B. for bleach and a V. for vinegar.  I had a placemat underneath but I decided less is more or better in this case so I took it out.  I added a  pretty saucer for drips.  I got my towel tin from Holly's tag sale.  I filled it with white towels that get used as cleaning rags.  Trust me, they are stained.  I have a fan ready for summertime laundry folding.

 The yo yo's in the jar are freshly washed and pressed.  I took them off my curtains and I have a new idea for them.

 I hung a bunting that tells me it's SPRING because I sure can't tell it's coming when I look out the window today.  Thanks Janice!

My laundry room is so clean and fresh I kind of want to be in there today.  That's a good thing.

Happy Spring!
