Beautiful Efficient Laundry Rooms

June 20, 2012 · Comments { 4 }
Laundry. There is no getting around the task, but it can be tackled many ways. Popular approaches include one load per day, one day for all or separate loads for each person in your household. My family likes to have “folding parties” where the kids fold their own clothing. In any case, test out the different approaches and see what works best for your family. For more ideas Circle of Moms just published tips for an efficient laundry routine that you may find helpful.

Laundry rooms of course need to be functional first and foremost, but there is no reason why they can’t be beautiful too. Personally I gravitate toward all white laundry rooms with a hint of color, pattern and texture that can be played out in tile backsplash, flooring or window treatment. Here are some beautiful laundry rooms that would make the task more fun!

Friday Find: Stylish Hand-Crank Paper Shredder

March 2, 2012 · Comments { 1 }
Have you had your identity stolen? I’ve heard it’s a nightmare. To reduce your risk of identity theft, it’s recommended that we shred all sensitive documents. But, when is a document “sensitive?” In general, we should shred documents that contain the following:
  • Account numbers {medical, financial, credit card}
  • Birth date
  • Home address
  • Social security number
  • Passwords / PINs
  • Signatures
  • Credit card applications

Paper shredders come in all shapes, sizes and price ranges, but I’ve never seen one like this before. It requires no electricity, comes in yummy hues of grey or turquoise and features a streamline design that’s attractive enough to be displayed on your desktop. I didn’t think it was possible, but Poketo currently has a stylish hand-cranked paper shredder available for $45. I’m digging it for home office use!
All this talk about paper makes me think that we really need to reduce the amount we use. One way to cut down on the amount of paper in your home is to  reduce the amount of mail you receive. Here are some suggestions:

Organized, Functional Style: Medicine Cabinet

February 15, 2012 · Comments { 6 }
We load them up with cosmetics, dental supplies and of course medicine. To keep medicine cabinets neat and tidy its important that every item has a place.

Although, my medicine cabinet was functional, it lacked style {above}. So when the folks at Three by Three asked if wanted to test one of their organizing products, I jumped at the chance. I  knew that a trio of the Mini Magnetic Strips  add visual appeal while making the cabinet more efficient. They come in a rainbow of colors, but selected the hot blue because it worked best with our bathroom’s look.

Installing the strips took under 30 minutes and I did it all myself. Spot-on Magnetic Hooks were added to hold scissors, nail clippers and an eyelash curler. Magnetized spice canisters now hold barrettes, hair elastics and eye shadows. I love the way it functions and looks!

Sometimes an inspirational quote is a great way to start or end your day, so affixed colorful cards with some of my favorites.
What items help keep your medicine cabinet stylish, yet practical?
