Since we got a new washer and dryer for Christmas, I've been dreaming about a new laundry room. As I was looking for ideas, I stumbled across this website called Houzz. It's amazing! It has tons of pictures, products, and ideabooks!
Here's been some of my inspiration thus far (courtesy of Houzz)...
My favorite feature of this room is the bar right above the washer and dryer for hanging. It's genius!
I'm totally in LOVE with this - look at all that storage! Ah, love it! Clearly I'm delusional to think this will be MY laundry room but maybe in a few years when I finally hit that big Powerball payday! Hey, a girl can dream, right?
But honestly, here are some ideas I've stumbled upon so far that I think can be incorporated into our limited space.
I like the idea of hiding the laundry room behind a bookcase, it's a really cool concept. The only problem I can see is the hassle of moving the bookcase everytime I go to do laundry. I know it may sound silly but I can't help but think this is a great idea in theory and not in reality.
I love the the use of space here. And since we have limited space it may be a great option!
This room is really the most realistic for us. It's a great use of space, still has storage, and even a small counter for folding clothes or a makeshift desk.
I'm really a fan of the built in look of this washer and dryer, it gives the room a very finished look. The counters and storage also make the room look super functional. If we went with this design we'd have to cut back on the amount of cabinets and storage but I still think we could pull it off.
I never dreamed there could be so many options and ideas! Right now, our laundry area is an extension of our kitchen so I don't want to commit to anything too crazy. Especially if a laundry room remodel would result in having to do a kitchen makeover at the same time. Oh decisions, decisions!
My husband and I are embarking on the adventure of a lifetime - renovating our new house the DIY way!

Let's Get Ready for Some FOOTBALL!
Normally on Friday's I start thinking about a game plan for Saturday and Sunday - what projects do we need to finish? What do we need to start? When I am going to start cleaning the house? You know how this game goes. Well I'm not doing any of that today!
Today I'm thinking about my football plans, the Saints play Saturday night and then the BCS game is Monday night, it's shaping up to be a great weekend! Even better my cousin is coming to town this weekend to partake in all the festivities. And because my cousin and husband both tend to sleep inn, I'll still be able to squeeze in my Saturday morning coffee/walk date with a friend!
Let's hear it for the weekend! Now I only have to make it through 8 hours of work...

New Year's Resolutions
For the record I usually fail miserably at New Year's Resolutions but I'm hoping this year is different. My theory is that if I publicly declare my resolutions via this blog I will be more likely to stick to them.
So here goes, this year I resolve to:

Happy New Year!
