Who know that anything laundry could be life changing? It can be, I promise!
Today proves that the single powerful word, "ORGANIZING", comes in many different versions and formats and styles and meanings. It can be defined as reducing clutter to simplify our lives. It can mean containerizing the items we utilize, so they make sense and are easy to locate. However, it can also mean strategically placing things {big and small}, to save time and provide a great quality of life!
It's stories like today's Readers Space, that explain my severe crush on organizing! It's that special phrase, "Life Changing", that gives me an organizing high and makes me come back for more!

Hi Jennifer,
I love your blog! I love organizing, and I try to declutter our house on a regular basis. I’d like to show you one of the projects that changed my life:
When we first moved to our house, the washer and dryer were located in the basement. We have a two story house, and our bedrooms are on the second floor. This meant that I had to drag the laundry up and down two flights of stairs. I hated it!
We have a stackable washer and dryer. When we remodeled our upstairs bathroom, my husband made a closet that was big enough to accommodate our machines.

There are also hooks on the wall for cleaning supplies; and a small rolling cart to hold laundry supplies. I love it! No more lugging heavy blankets and towels up and down two flights of stairs.
Thanks so much for all the inspiration on your blog. After reading your blog, I always want to go find something to clean!

It honestly makes me ponder, how does anyone get any laundry done, with a washer and dryer down in the basement, one or two flights of stairs away from all the bedrooms? Why do we create our homes this way? I realize that we all do it, and it's great for our cardio, but it doesn't necessarily make the most sense to place machines that are crucial in our daily lives, so far from the hub of the home. That's why IHeart this story so much! Laurie and her husband didn't settle. They organized their new space to ensure it was functioning better for them, and were able to move their washer and dryer to the "right" place in their home. While also creating additional storage for their laundry and cleaning supplies. So Super Smart!!
And a button for you:
