In 2016 we renovated and extended our home
The bulk of the work was finished
In approximately seven months
But there are still a few jobs to complete
Decorating the hallway and coming up with some clever storage ideas
Creating an ensuite bathroom
Furnishing a laundry room
And designing the boot room of my dreams
As a mummy of four children
With a real sense of adventure
And a thrill seeking husband
I know I have a future of muddy boots
Sports kits
Riding equipment
Wetsuits, kayaks and boards
Also i would like a dog
I have always known this
Hoped for it
And I look forward to welcoming home my teenagers
Young adults
Husband
And dog!
With a space they can
Keep the tools of their respective trades
And get clean before entering the family home
I have always wanted and hope one day to have
A precision run laundry room
And a school style boot room
Here are some of the ideas that make up my dreams
Boot Room
A space for muddy wellies
Stinky sports shoes
Balls, sticks, hats
Boards, paddles, kayaks
Bags, coats, umbrellas
All the outdoor paraphernalia
That has no place in the house
And yet is part of our family home
Part of the fabric of family life
A place to get suited and booted
Briefed and debriefed
A place to get organised
Where adventures begin
Expeditions end
A place to change
Open and close
A transition
In to out
Out to in
A hub
A heart
Our home
Laundry Room
Some fun signs to lighten the load!!
Clever storage for dirty clothes
And clean
A space to dry clothes
A hanging rail
A built in heated towel rail
Efficient but not ugly heating
There are lots of fab ideas here

A window to allow fresh air in
A hidden ironing board
A long cupboard for the hoover, mops and brooms
A door to keep all the dirty laundry hidden away

Like you, I have Pinterest boards for my ‘dream’ everything – dream kitchen, dream bedroom, dream living room, dream garden and dream utility. It’s great to gather these ideas isn’t it? We have a utility that is just so useful for everything and we keep all the dog paraphernalia out there – his food tin, treats tin, two baskets full of all his things – combs, brushes, winter coat, lead, poop bags, odour spray, etc. I’d love for it to be a bit bigger but it serves well as a laundry room and actually the smelly sports shoe/wellies aren’t there but in the garage in a unit built by my husband, very similar to the ideas you have posted.
I hope you have fun finishing off your renovations. x
