okay so Kelly's Korner is hosting the Friday house tour again! This week we have a plethora of options: Playrooms, Laundry Rooms, and Bonus Rooms... just so happens that all of those spaces are conveniently located together in my home! Please excuse the mess because Fridays are when I clean and last time I checked, today is Thursday, so the cleaning has not been completed!!
this is what you see when you first come downstairs... Dante is apparently your guide for this portion of the tour! (Notice the dryer sheet next to the coffee table -- courtesy of my hasty relocating of the laundry that you will see in the next picture...I thought I was being slick!)
This is the wall across from the sofa. Notice my laundry/junk reflected in the TV! Sorry. We were down here last night because of the storms, but we rarely seem to use this space. We have it set up this way for guests. The room with the baby gate is a guest room with a futon, and the other room with the door closed is my primary guest room. The open door is a full guest bath. (Oh, and that is Bailey's behind on the left, her crate is over in the corner by the TV and I guess she was going in to tidy up since mama was taking pictures!)
This is the wall that you would see if you were sitting on the couch and looking to the right. You took those stairs to get down here. The first door is my "secret room" or MY PLAYROOM, the door to the right is my laundry room, and the door way to the right goes out to the garage!
So, you chose DOOR #1!! This is my favorite spot in the whole house! Most people do not know that it is even here. They just assume it is a closet! My nephews have no idea that it exists and my SIL and I are always joking about how we need to go hide in the secret room when she visits!
Up close look at my play table! This is where I create and HIDE!
I have so much stuff in here! I got these ITSO storage cubes from Target. They hold almost ALL of my hobbies!
I wanted you to see that even Dante has a little spot in mama's secret room.
This sign is hilarious, but sadly, not true! I love to do laundry! I just got a new washing machine a few weeks ago! I think the sign came from Hobby Lobby.
My kinda weird laundry room. It looked so much bigger when the appliances were not in there. What laundry room has NO OUTLETS in it!? We have to plug our iron in that outlet OUTSIDE the room and then close the door to let down our ironing board that hangs on the door!
So, since this room got he hodge-podge of all the storage baskets we had in random spots over the years, I have fabric to make a little curtain for this bookshelf and to make a little window treatment. Alas... unfinished projects!!!!
Thank you for stopping by!
love the cabinets in your "playroom!" great way to stay clutter free! you seem very organinzed.
ReplyDeleteI love your secret room! fun!! Your "playroom" is so big and so is your laundry room!! Great spaces!
ReplyDeleteI envy all your space! The desk is SASSY, where did you find it? You have great taste!
ReplyDeleteLove your playroom. :) I also love the laundry sign. Where did you get it? I got my knobby knee birds at scribbleitonline.com. I see your from Clarksville. I'll be in Clarksville for the night on the 24th. It's going to be our half way point for stopping on the way to visit my husband for 6 wks. He's in Bloomington,Il. for a year for work and he said Clarksville would be a good town to spend the night at. Any recommendations for hotels or places to eat that are kid friendly?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog. Another TN girl, yay!! LOVE your little secret room. I totally want one of those!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I'm hoping to get there early enough in the daylight that we can go out to eat and see the town some. Is your downtown neat? I heard it has some cute shops in the historic area.
ReplyDeleteI love the office in the closet. What a great idea.
