Laundry Powder Storage Makeover

by

The other day it occurred to me that I spend way too much time in the laundry.  I even have my iPhone set to remind me each evening before bed to pop another load into the machine. I try and force myself into the laundry for at least 5 minutes of sorting or folding each day just to try and stay remotely on top of it all.

Then one other thing occurred to me – the laundry is the only place the children don’t follow me into. I am thinking of installing a wine cooler, massage chair and a drop down bed just so I can grab 5 minutes.

So if I am spending all this time in this room why not make it a little special – After seeing lots of different laundry organizing solutions online and Pinterest I decided to go with a crystal urn. At least this way when I eventually die from being overworked and underpaid they can pop me into the old laundry powder tub.

My only instruction for this tutorial/idea is look for a heavy glass, something that won’t topple over easily. My urn weights around 4.4 lbs (2 kgs)  (without the powder) so its not going anywhere.

Garage Door Halloween Decorations

This Garage Door Halloween Decoration project is such a fun way to make a big Halloween statement without needing to decorate the whole yard. Instead of a small wreath or porch sign, this idea turns the entire garage door into a spooky silhouette scene, complete with witches, pumpkins, trees, cats, and creepy Halloween shapes.

I really like this one because it has huge visual impact from the street. The black silhouettes against the pale garage door make the design easy to see, even from a distance, and it gives the whole house that haunted Halloween feel without being too gory or scary. It is perfect for families who want something dramatic but still fun for trick-or-treaters.

This is also a great project if you enjoy cutting your own shapes from cardboard, poster board, foam board, or lightweight plastic sheets. You could keep the design simple with just bats and pumpkins, or go all out with witches, trees, ghosts, black cats, and cauldrons. Add a few outdoor spotlights or battery lights nearby and it would look amazing at night.

What makes this project especially clever is that the garage door becomes the backdrop, so you do not need a lot of expensive supplies to fill a large space. It is bold, budget-friendly, and very customizable.
