They had this whole camping thing figured out..
It’s been kind of a resting place for lots of different things over the last few years, but nothing that really helped its function as a laundry room/pantry/extra kitchen space/whatever.Whenever I folded laundry, it would end up in piles on the kitchen table.
The table is pretty big, so we could still find space to eat at it, but it was just really a big eyesore.. Chris had the idea to put a long counter in the laundry room for me to fold on and then he also thought we might as well add in a cork board and make it kind of a command center too!So here’s what we came up with!.I use it everyday for laundry, but also as an extra prep space for putting plates of food on once they’re prepared, or to lay things out when I’m packing us up for a weekend away.
It really has made a big difference in the whole kitchen!I love that it can easily hold about three big loads of folded laundry, so if I don’t get time to put it away over the weekend, it still has a place to live and be tidy and out of the way..
I also love that it was super cheap to make!
We used the most basic lumber supplies but ended up with something that looks really cute and custom!.My particular model is really only semi-convenient for this purpose because of its square shape.
Next time I’m in the market for one of these, I’ll definitely find one with a round shape.This one really only melts the wax in the center of its bowl so I still don’t get the full use out of my wax, but it’s so much better than just letting all that wax go to waste!
It’s also nice to be able to turn on the scent by just flicking a switch rather than always having to light it.Also, it might be just me and my nose who think this, but I’m pretty sure the candle pieces actually scent my home better than the actual little warming pellets that are meant for this thing.
