Friday, my little guy (I mean my big guy) got to go to a soccer clinic. We signed up halfway through the session so when we got there the other kids were dribbling, shooting, slide tackling and practically doing bicycle kicks with ease. I told L that he was to go run around, listen to his coaches, and above all else, have fun.
Now, before we go any further I should give you some background on my kid. He is a little OCD and I’m pretty sure I did this to him. Sorry, baby. Even when he was an infant he was very interested in making everything just right. He enjoys lining up his cars by make and model and has mini meltdowns when his sister opens the kitchen drawer and takes out all the towels. I secretly worry that he will end up like that Jack Nicholson character in As Good As It Gets. No, I’m just kidding. Well, sorta…
While all the other kids, including my friends daughter (below), were playing with the ball and doing this:
i think leave it. it's well balanced. loved reading your post. i have a "d" too
I'm loving the green and black. It looks so cute. I agree, the window is so small, you want the light to come through…right? Ok, maybe? I just love it. I did a little laundry room organizing and it feel so great to be organized! Yeah! (Your son is so stinkin' cute).
I have a link party on Fridays…I'd love it if you'd join!
very nice and organized! i like it!!! good job.
hope to hear from you soon!
very cute! Love the green and black. Maybe live with it for awhile and if you feel like it needs something…maybe a cute "laundry" sign…or glass jars filled with something that still lets the light come thru, but also marks the space…or maybe a sheer with a green and black ruffle or ribbon or something?
It looks great! I wish my laundry room looked that cute!
Thanks for linking up to Show and Tell Saturday!
WOW! you did a great job
come on over and link up to MMM!
It is SO cute! I probably wouldn't put anything on the shelf portion, but would string a itty bitty clothesline with coordinating cut-out clothes (to match your black/green/blue theme) at the very top of the window. (but i like those kinds of things… lol!)
It's a great idea to have the baskets and bins on there. I have been wanting to do something to my laundry room but bc i'm in an apt i can't do too much, but the bins and baskets are great! Thank you for sharing your creations!!
As far as the window, I like Lisa's idea above about the clothes line too. My suggestion would be to add a mini curtain on the window to match your color scheme. Maybe some green with black pokadots or black and blue pokadots. To decorate the window without adding shade or overing up the light that comes through it.
btw, your boy is very cute!!! looks like he has some organizational, creative, and structured traits you can take advantage of! Maybe soccer isn't his thing right now, but don't discourage it and introduce it later.
do you ever open the window for air? Then setting anything there would be a nuisance. Either way you want to keep the light coming through. It does not look unfinished plain/bare.
I say allow your children to be the persons they are, as long as they are enjoying life and making friends. Friends are a necessary part of being a balanced person.
Looks great ~ LOVE an organized laundry!
Love the pops of green. As for the shelf, I would rotate photos of my kids…why I have all that laundry to do!
It looks great and I love the black and green. I'm hosting We're Organized Wednesday link party through this Saturday and would love for you to join. There's a great giveaway too. Hope to see you there.
