the laundry room in my kitchen

Our laundry room is in our kitchen, so I like to keep it tidy because we have to look at it all the time. :) 

Claire has a hamper in her bedroom closet, and we have one in our bedroom, and there is one in the bathroom for towels. This little white basket here is just for kitchen laundry, like dishtowels and napkins and placemats and table cloths. No unmentionables. :) You have to have standards, if you're going to have your laundry in your kitchen. 

The black wardrobe used to be my brother-in-law's when he was little. My sister painted it black several years ago, and I am borrowing it for as long as I need it. (We have a lot of these "long-term-furniture-loan" situations set up between the two of us. It's quite nice.) The inside is full of all my baking ingredients and supplies. (The drawers are really nice for the pans.)

The side of the stacked washer and dryer is not lovely, but I think these aprons are.

Our Melanie tucked a few of these chalkboard labels in a couple of my orders from her lovely etsy shop, The Paper Pear. I love them and use them all over the place! (Instead of regular chalk, I like chalk ink markers, because they don't smear as easily.)

Bob likes to tease me for labeling clear glass and plastic containers, because, he points out, "You can see what's inside!"
