My Laundry room ideas

Housekeepers box
I recently saw a fantastic post by The bottom of the ironing basket with great laundry pics, which got me thinking about our downstairs bathroom that we are going to turn into a laundry room. These are a few of the items I want to put in the laundry room when finished. What I really like about them is they don't have to be hidden away in cupboards.
  • Housekeepers tin bought from Restoration Hardware about 5 years ago! They don't do them anymore but John Lewis has a similar one. For the prettiest white, pale blue, pale pink or taupe Housekeepers box go to Steady Sticks Australia available at Crate & Barrel
  • Duster, grout brush, and cleaning fluid from Martha Stewart at Macy's
  • Large cleaning fluid from Restoration Hardware
  • All other items as below



Pink cleaning


Pretty cleaning cloths



First Aid tin


Pretty ironing board



Laundry tub
  • Laundry basket from BHS


Laundry powder tin
I bought my Laundry powder box at the same time as the Housekeepers box from Restoration Hardware, but sadly they don't sell them anymore. John Lewis does a nice cream version or try Steady Sticks Australia.

~ Chocolate Obsession ~

It is official - I am chocolate obsessed!!  This is nothing new mind you but it seems to be far more noticeable while I am breast feeding.

I am constantly searching for chocolate.

I don't care if it is white, milk or my favourite dark chocolate
.
It can have nuts with it
.
It can be a cake or even in the form of a typewriter keypad.

Just don't get in my way while I am searching for it or eating it!

My First Post!

Hi I'm Linda and welcome to the first post in my lulufroufrou blog. Please bare with me as I learn the blogging process as I go!. I'm a SAHM to Louise and wife to darling cycling nut Rod. I started making hair clips for Lou during her naps because I hate daytime TV. She soon had way too many hair clips and started running away at the first sight of them. I decided to try my hand at selling them and they have proved to be more popular with friends and friend of friends than I could have ever imagined.
I thought that this would be a great time to document how my little lulufroufrou business grows - and my little Louise that is!
Watch out for sale items and special giveaways here too!

I am loving the 1920's style finger waves hair in the new Autumn Noa Noa photo shoot. I am also coveting the cute bag in the last pic.

~ Great Gift ~

Everybody is so kind when you have a new baby - gifts arrive in the mail and it is always so lovely to receive wonderful surprises from family and friends.  I know having a family of all girls makes it hard as everyone says "what do you buy someone who must have everything with all those girls".  Well today I received in the mail a fabulous gift which nobody has every thought of giving me before!  My friend Sandy who lives and Melbourne sent me this wonderful book called Cool Spaces for Kids.

It looks wonderful and is particularly perfect with us building a new house - I now have loads of ideas to help with the decorating of all the girls spaces in our new home!


Don't get me wrong I still love receiving beautiful pink clothes as a girl can never have too many outfits but this book is really something different that I will get use out of for years to come.  Thank you Sandy!
