Welcome to my Laundry Room!

I have discovered a new way to make great changes in my house. Take pictures of the mess, then work on it and post after pictures. A week ago I decided I had just had it with my laundry room. Now laundry rooms are notoriously messy right? And that probably wouldn't bother me except that this room is the room that I also create in. It is my sewing, crafting, creating room. I am not quite confident in my abilities to call it a studio. So I spend a lot of time in there and it was ugly! I am not always the most organized person and this room had just never been given the attention it needed. You can see the stack of cute pictures behind my sewing machines I intended to put up 9 months ago and never had. and the top of the washing machine and ironing board that become my work space. So hubby was kind enough to hang me another shelf, it was already up when I took this before picture, and I went to town.
This is the before picture, awful isn't it? I must have no shame to put this up for you all to see
I have been working a little bit at a time and this weekend I got it just about done.

After!
This is really hard room to photograph because it is really long and skinny. But you can see up there on my shelves I now have a bunch of white bins. This is working great because each project I am working on has its own bin and I can take it down and work on it whenever I have a minute, then put it back in and up on the shelf until the next chance. This is great because I used to just set it somewhere in that poor room, making it just a mess. I made big gingham curtain that hangs from a shower rod so I didn't have to make any holes in the wall, to cover up the ugly storage boxes. And I made a new cover for my ironing board too. I couldn't find a cute one to buy anywhere!
I hung my ribbon up on a cord and I think it makes it look cuter too. And I finally framed my cards from Miss Vanessa. I have my own little Fanciful Twist gallery now! There is a little space on my shelf to put some of my favorite creations until they find new homes too. I am hoping to hang a banner or something cute from the shelf to add more color.

I got to hang up my inspiration board in here too!

This little painting finally found a home in here. It makes me happy because I made the squares out of little snippets from Brittany's dresses I made when she was little.

Thanks for suffering through the tour! As I was saying at the beginning of this method of taking before and after pictures seemed to motivate me to get the job done. Now this little room is one of my favorites in the house and I have actually accomplished more in it than usual. It is all mine and I get to do whatever I want in there! So what is your favorite room?
