it’s summer.” If your home could use a little seasonal pick-me-up, you might want to try adding a few of these ideas to your bag of tricks as well!.

Our laundry room is a little nook off of our kitchen so we like it to be pretty tidy and also to function really well, since it’s one of the first things you see when you come in through the kitchen mud room.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!If your candle has wax that’s a little more brittle, you can put the whole thing in the freezer for a few hours and the wax should just pop out.

I like the knife method a little better though because I can just get it done right when I’m thinking of it.I tend to forget candles in the freezer for weeks.

Out of sight, out of mind!.Once you’ve got your wax wedges out of the jar, just stick them in a little plastic bag and write the scent name on the bag..
