I have to brag about my husband. While he was home alone for two weeks, he tackled the huge project that has been on my to do list every month for more than a year. We don’t have any before pictures of our closet/laundry room, but let me describe it to you: The laundry shelf was organized—but that was about it.
There was a stack of very large Rubbermaid containers with some random things in them that reached to about hip height. Sometimes this stack ended up in front of the dryer door and had to be shoved aside. Usually it was between the extra washing machine and the built-in wood shelves, effectively blocking off 2/3s of the room. On top of the dryer and the extra washing machine were all manner of precariously stacked items that belonged somewhere deeper in the closet, but either we couldn’t get back there or they didn’t fit anymore. Things like Christmas decorations, painting supplies (we’ve been done painting for almost a year and a half)
The beyond there, the closet was completely impassible: a box fan, a storage drum, a couple hundred pounds of pasta (no, really), ski poles and boots (we haven’t been skiing since before we were married) (oh, and we have no skis), an old printer—and that’s just what was on top.
I was moved to tears to come home to this:
Oh, and did I mention that he does laundry—and dishes?

Can he come teach my husband? 😉 It looks awesome!
Could I please, please borrow your husband just for the week I’m away? I don’t have too many jobs just shelving & storage issues & a couple of bookcases oh, and a tyre swing in the garden. I’m sure it wouldn’t take him long.
I think we have the same laundry room! I’m working on mine for Tack It Tuesday. Almost there, but I would love it if someone would surprise me and finish it!
Your hubby is awesome!
Laundry and dishes too???? You lucky girl!
You need to clone him and market him.
oh my! How wonderful! looks great! oh and how are you doing on Pasta. What did you do with it all? that is NUTS!
WOW!!!
He’s a definite keeper..good for you! Seriously, why so much pasta? 🙂
Two reasons for the pasta: it came that way (in a 2.5 ton lot at an auction) and for a year’s supply of food.
How delightful! An organized laundry room is a joy to behold. 🙂 What a treat.
RYAN, YOU ARE DA MAN!!!
Now come down here and help me grade out my front and back yard. HAHAHAHA
Wow, girl! Sounds like you’ve got a real keeper! I love it when Eric surprises me with things like that. He’s really good at the lil things. Of course, when he ends up doing the dishes 5 days in a row, I start to feel like I’m not doing my job!
