DIY Laundry Dresser at Ana-White.com

Are you familiar with Ana White?  If not, please take a few moments to browse around her site.  She is a mom who does all kinds of do-it-yourself projects from bookshelves (love the library cart!) to stools to…

laundry basket dressers.

Oh yes, a laundry dresser.  And isn’t it one of the most beautiful laundry sites you’ve ever seen?  I just adore it.  The design was simply a stroke of genius.

Ana gives you step-by-step instructions on how to build this functional, yet super cute laundry dresser.  Assign a basket to each member of your family for housing clean or dirty clothes.  Assign a basket to hold specific items – ie: one for socks, one for t-shirts, etc. – and use it literally as a dresser.  Use it to store seasonal items like blankets or to store linens, towels and washcloths or sheets.

Or you could use it for a completely different purpose than laundry: sewing and craft supplies, a toy bin in the kids’ room, or storage in the garage.

The laundry and household possibilities are endless!

And if you were as much of a laundry dork as I am, you’d even use your labeler to assign the baskets on your newly crafted laundry dresser.

My new friend Caroline from The Modest Mom must have a fabulous husband since he made her these for Christmas!! Oh be still my beating heart – what a perfect gift! (Well, for me anyway…)  Here is her hubby’s fine craftsmanship:

The comments on the laundry dresser how-to post have wonderful ideas about how to get the most practical use from this project, so make sure to take a peek at those too.
