Thirdly, I don’t want to make people feel bad about themselves so I’m sharing how un-fancy I really am with my decor this year.
In fact, it’s hardly even begun!We made this DIY faux butcher block counter as a distraction when we were trying to figure out what to do about our heated floors in the new bathroom and it’s turned out to be one of my favorite projects ever!
So even though the whole room isn’t really ready for its close up, I just had to tell you all about it!.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.“OK, Courtenay, you’re an author now.
Go write a whole book!One of the main things that I learned about the whole book-writing process during those pre-contract-signing days was that the book writing process is S-L-O-W!!
That’s definitely not how I normally roll, at all, but it’s actually something that I’ve come to appreciate because it allows you to create something really pretty special, without having to completely upset your whole life.You can do a little bit at a time, or a lot at a time and then have a few weeks off while you wait for a response from the publisher on a certain step in the process.
