Small Laundry Room? Me Too.
There’s no room for cute carts or large sorting bin setups in this space. Most storage needs to be up high and out of reach of little hands, so we have to get creative and think vertically when it comes to laundry organization.

Wool Dryer Balls by Friendsheep 6 Pack
Scented detergent, booster beads, or dryer sheets are a no-go in our house—we all have eczema, and it’s just not worth it. Instead, we put a few drops of lavender oil on our dryer balls, and now the whole laundry room smells amazing!

I have this in blossom(pink!) and I just love it! It is smaller than our old one but that makes it so much easier to clean. And it actually looks nice on the counter if we leave it out.
