I have a 5' x 12' room that we like to refer to as the stupid room. I mean, what are you supposed to do with a room that size? It has become my junk room: lighting fixtures I haven't hung, my daughter's school work, I think there might be a file cabinet in there, lots of decor magazines, books I have yet to read...the list could go on. You can barely get into the room because the junk is piled like 3ft high.

My husband calls our basement the place where furniture goes to die because I've picked up so many pieces to work on. And that's in addition to the hundred or so boxes my parents brought on a U-Haul nearly a year ago that I've finally begun going through.KaleeMariehttp://www.uneviechic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-32106763847521263592011-04-14T19:57:31.715-04:002011-04-14T19:57:31.715-04:00you are so funny! that's nothing! i cannot wai...you are so funny! that's nothing! i cannot wait to see what you do with the space. little spaces have so much potential! thanks for keeping it real. xoHanahttp://thefourteenthchair.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-13324288022770549442011-04-14T19:29:29.396-04:002011-04-14T19:29:29.396-04:00I love that you are showing us this.

My laundry room too is not so pretty. Mine has brand new cabinets that the doors have yet to be put on after almost a year. They are still leaning up again the wall, sitting on the torn linoleum floor. Ekkk! Sometimes it's just easier to close the door at the end of the day.Briannehttp://barbourspangle.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481334885690177821.post-63872748624580523852011-04-14T16:25:03.943-04:002011-04-14T16:25:03.943-04:00I'm sure it will be a great functional space w...I'm sure it will be a great functional space when you're through! I just wanted to add, I couldn't help but notice the Beneful dog food bag. You may want to look into feeding Charlotte a better food that has less filler. The website www.dogfoodanalsysis.com has rankings of foods.

Our laundry is in our dark creepy basement (I don't look around too closely) of our rental (otherwise I'd be gutting it and painting it all white). I also struggle with storage of DIY items that aren't straight-up tools, so I'm curious to see how that goes and what solutions you find.
