I'm headed out today to find a clear glass/plastic beverage dispenser for the liquid detergent. I already have a couple of vintage milk bottles for bleach and softener.

The images you found are very inspiring but you have come up with the most ingenious ways of storing the liquids! I have shelves over my machines and cupboards on the other wall, but I am considering removing the doors because they are just in the way. I also have all my paper goods stacked neatly--in the laundry and in the bathrooms. Great post!

I like that you add a dose of reality to laundry rooms - after all, they are meant to be functional spaces.<br /><br />My main requirement was not the high end countertops (and I refused to put in limestone or marble countertops, like my design team was suggesting), or the fancy cabinets - my main requirement was functional spaces - enough room to put an ironing board, so I wouldn't have to iron in the bedroom, and enough space so I could hide a laundry basket or two, store the laundry detergents and paper towels.<br /><br />Your laundry room looks great!Things That Inspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405995431610377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-18537250697142862622012-03-06T20:30:47.754-08:002012-03-06T20:30:47.754-08:00You are just a girl out to beautify the world...ev...You are just a girl out to beautify the world...even the laundry room!Mary Ann Picketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11885030768216528362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-67149099870042464942012-03-06T18:49:33.626-08:002012-03-06T18:49:33.626-08:00i am pretty sure you have tons of inspiring laundr...i am pretty sure you have tons of inspiring laundry room images in this post, but i am fixated on how much i loved stacked rolls of TP just like you. that could be my house!!<br /><br />best to you, lovely lady.<br /><br />michelemichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147970920141315262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-6985382010104322262012-03-06T18:39:11.159-08:002012-03-06T18:39:11.159-08:00Wow, Kathysue, you have me thinking about the laun...Wow, Kathysue, you have me thinking about the laundry room more than I ever have!

It is on my list for "to-do" in the Spring. <br /><br />Back two houses ago we built a house on Lake Michigan and we used to host some big overnight gatherings there for a program we were part of. The laundry room was off the front foyer and it was a "pretty" room-garden style. I had a small undercounter fridge in there and when we had a group I used to set up a pre-brunch bar with coffee/orange juice & mini-muffins that people could grab and nibble until breakfast was ready. They brought their morning towels with them and threw them in the washer for me to run later in the day. It kept them out of the kitchen while I was doing last minute preparations and worked out great. That is one thing I did miss about that house when we moved. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-33929658741333194692012-03-06T15:05:46.017-08:002012-03-06T15:05:46.017-08:00What a perfect solution, and I already have a beve...What a perfect solution, and I already have a beverage dispenser that I rarely use...definitely need to work on my organization!!designchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814501245552660696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-50494959136360489732012-03-06T14:10:43.651-08:002012-03-06T14:10:43.651-08:00Very pretty, Kathysue!

I use Oxy tablets and store them in a pretty box. For my liquid detergents, I purchased two jugs of Woolite (white with pink lids), and used them until they were empty. I then filled one with my regular liquid detergent, and one with fabric softener. I removed the product labels and replaced them with my own pink and white labels. The containers sit on an open shelf above my washer and blend in perfectly with my existing colour scheme. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who goes to such lengths to make everything look pretty!Wendi @ Classic Chic Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995195339169630795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5210558362945352459.post-20447112258679154212012-03-06T13:44:01.709-08:002012-03-06T13:44:01.709-08:00I love it! what a great idea for your laundry liqu...I love it! what a great idea for your laundry liquids. I use powder for mine & its in a large glass jar I got from walmart- I hide my dryer sheets in a little basket with a lid and then open baskets for my bleach & spray n wash.
