And oh look! Rather conveniently, there's laundry detergent handy to wash your (potty)mouth out with soap. Right. in. the. same. room.
*this is where I'd love to just shut the door and move on in our lovely little House Tour.*
Welcome to my Everything Room... the room of my house that I love/hate relationship with.
One that I've talked about before, here. So I'll spare you the repeat.
Though here recently, thanks to the addition of the little pantry cabinet in our kitchen, I've been able to reorganize what's behind Curtain #1.
And if you know me at all, you know I love getting my house practically organized. :) On the shelves, in an assortment of baskets are:
- cloth diapers and covers
- disposable diapers for those moments I just don't feel like going cloth
- GermX and Lysol (we welcome the death to all germs in this home and do whatever possible to encourage their demise)
- Bugsprays and SPFs
- etc etc (meaning, I'm too lazy to get my pregnant rump off of the couch to go see what else lurks in the baskets of The Room)
Behind that curtain (which is a lot longer and taller than you can see in the picture) used to be our canned and boxed food.
Yes, that's right, ladies and gentlemen. Food. Toilet. and Laundry, The complete lifespan of the foodcycle right there in one single solitary space. *groan*
And thus, I present to you the "hate" side of my relationship.
Well, that and the odd fact that there is no sink...and no place to install one. Unless we invest in a stackable washer/dryer combo. Which we won't do since we bought this pair, brand new, 5 years ago.
Behind that curtain now are the cleaners, paper products, light bulbs, and all those household fix-it types of things.
...along with all sorts of craft supplies for the girls that I don't want Raegan to have access to (paint!).
As well as medication... up high and out of their room, so no one can reach it. You know, since I'd rather avoid the First Name Basis with Poison Control thang.It's all so convenient because remember, I live in a house where"closets" don't exist.
And thus, I present to you my love side of the relationship. A place to store stuff! Oh, and the fact that it provides a toilet downstairs for when I'm potty training.
Which, having 5 children 7 and under, means Potty Training stretches out endlessly before me. Thankfully, I can teach them to wash their dirty laundry all at the same time!!
Ahh, the joys of a multi-tasking moment. ::)
