I am so blessed to have a warm place to call home during these cold winter months. I am safe, sound, and generally welcomed in my home (Lord help us! Mama is throwing frying Pans Made with Steel again!).
But, what happens when home doesn’t feel warm? What if home feels like the fangs of used books, junk piles and spoiled paint cans are ‘closing in’ for a bite? Or what if it curiously smells like old coffee and sharpie marker ink in the laundry room, on a good day?
It can stay that way.
OR
I can do something.
What a unique place, our homes, where we can define, design, and dally in a space without reason or with a million reasons. To me “doing something” simply means, taking a chance to make an impact while harnessing my behavior, teaching it to value what it is I am doing.
Here to Hoping…
Here is a photo taken in the middle of my “doing something” to the laundry room. I have been taking a chance, all day, amping up this room in time for The Masked Mommy’s first ever Laundry Room Pow-Wow that is on February 1st!
I am so excited to share at the Pow-Wow about my room, my hopes, and my first ever fabric mistreatments, with a bunch of other bloggers, that needed to “do something” with their own life direction (or maybe just a new decor 
).
Looking forward to seeing your transformed laundry room!
I happened to notice the wooden box with the old post office box door on it. My dad made those for all of us kids when were growing up and my mom thought up all the little weird phrases to help us remember the letter combinations to get into them.
I’m so glad you’re coming to link up! Stay motivated! I know I’m trying! I love blog land. I know it would be so easy for me to give up right now if I weren’t looking forward to the powwow!
Thank you for reading and for all of your encouragement!
