I am excited to finally share my new laundry room. It is so nice to finally have a beautiful space, where I spend a lot of my time as a Mama! It was not our plan to redo this room, but a large flood due to a stopped up sink and running water, forced us to redo everything in the room. It was also time to get a new washer and dryer, so we just got new everything! I love the load and go feature on the Whirlpool washer which allows you to simply add detergent once and skip refills for 20 loads! I actually enjoy doing laundry. Our laundry room is a small narrow room, so I painted the walls white (Sherwin Williams Extra White) to help make the space look bigger, and decided to go with a bold fun floor. I really wanted a farm sink, and our contractor was weary about the one I chose since it was just released last year, but it ended up being perfect in the space, and he did a great job with the install. The sink is constructed with a durable and easy to clean SILGRANIT® material. I decided to put a mirror on the back wall which resembles a window to also help make the space look larger. I kept the accessories minimal, and made sure they were cohesive with the color palette we chose. I took my time on finding storage bins that fit the cabinet space, and also matched the color scheme. I found an awesome cabinet that hangs behind the door to hold our broom and Swiffer mop. The organization of household items, cleaning items, and laundry supplies have made life so much easier! 

I just love the way it turned out! You can shop most of my items down below.

DIY and Decor

This has been my favorite room to design in our home by far.  If I could design handicap accessible children’s rooms exclusively, it would be a dream come true. I am by no means a professional, but this project of designing and decorating Sayla’s room has brought me so much joy.  I wanted the room to reflect Sayla’s bright personality and to just make you smile when you walk through the door, in the same way that she makes everyone smile.

Since moving into our home two years ago, I have taken my time in decorating.  My goal has been to design each room individually, finish to completion, and stick to a budget.  I absolutely love designing my kids’ rooms.  Somehow, we got really lucky, and Pax did not decide to climb out of his crib until after he turned three years old this past January!  Once that happened, it was his turn to have his own space with a big boy design.

I have a major phobia of commitment.  Not the “til death do us part” type of commitment, but I am terrified of obligations that do not involve my children…in particular, I am referring to my Sayla girl.  Having a special needs/medically fragile child means anything could change in an instant, and then she becomes priority over all.  Therefore, to avoid the immense stress, guilt, and hassle of canceling events and/or prior devotions, I tend to shy away from them all together.  Unfortunately, this causes me to miss out on a lot in life.  I have recognized this about myself and I am slowly working towards remediating the phobia.  So, I decided what could be a better way to kick start this transformation than to host a partayyyyy? While some are getting geared up for all things fall, I am hanging on to summer for dear life, and decided to throw a Bunco Night Summer Soiree.  That’s right, we brought bunco back, and I think it made my mom proud.  I had so much fun planning this event, creating some of the décor, and setting up for my friends to enjoy.
