    Maybe you’ve already completed your laundry room but may I had an idea (or two)?
    -When your children are older they can (+ should) start doing their own laundry (our rule was 4th grade) — obviously with loving, supportive guidance — which definitely mandates lots o’ baskets!
    -Don’t discount installing a laundry upstairs, even an all-in-one (washer / dryer) unit, someday. We did that when we remodeled our (primary) bath: we’d had a mean little dark shower and a h u g e and dangerous shallow garden tub, turning the tub into a h u g e curbless shower and that shower into a laundry + coffee closet. Best decision! It’s a washer / dryer combo and while I pretty much solely line-dry my clothes (we’ve a folding drying rack hung in there) I absolutely use the wash + dry feature for sheets, towels. Its walls are stark white and the ceiling a bright yellow; the pendant light is an openwork basket onto which I hot glued fabulously ebullient, colorful birds, and wonderful old salvage doors we found down at Round Top. My point is: one day in your future — near or far — you may rework things upstairs and it’ll be the ideal time to add some sort of laundry there. I can guarantee it will improve your life.
    -That very sweet Clover wallpaper makes me think of Rita Konig’s Olive wallpaper.
    I wish you and your sweet family the best of luck!
