wishful wednesday and organization advice, por favor!

I wish I could come home to ____ bedroom each evening:
Yeah, I am going to go along the lines of Heaven in the form of the ocean view I love!


ANY of those rooms would be perfectly fine with me!

-----------------

Alrighty, so as yall know (because I don't shut up about it, ever!) Bret and I are closing on our house this coming Friday.  Well, I have been looking at room designs, paint colors, hardware choices and everything in between trying to get ready for how I want to decorate our first home.

One area however that I cannot seem to grasp is the laundry "room."
I say room like this because there is technically no laundry room.  There is a garage that houses our washer and dryer.  This doesn't particularly bother me because A) the washer and dryer conveyed and B) it's better than the lack OF a laundry area.

However, here lies my dilema.  How do I make this (see below) look decent?!



(ignore all the junk - These pictures were take at inspection and that's all the current owners crap).

Do any of you guys have yalls washer/dryer in the garage?  If so, how did you make it look cute?  Yes, I know washer/dryer areas are never going to be THAT cute but still! I want it to look better than what is going on in these pictures!

Any ideas??

I love the bedroom choices. Can I come over and stay?

So, I have these colored canvas baskets in my washroom where I house things. We even have one for the lost sock pile. You can label them and make them cute. I got them at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Or you could always buy a cabinet.

An ocean view would be wonderful!

You could always buy some cute containers to put them in :)

First let me say...CONGRATULATIONS ON CLOSING!!! We're in the middle of buying our first house right now and I can't even imagine how relieved you must feel!

You have lovely taste and I'm sure you'll make that new house into a home in no time!

I LOVE your rooms! Maybe one day you can get all three and have us over to stay! :)

I use baskets in different colors, all with a cream linen liner. Each basket has a different purpose, like stain treatment, detergent, whites, etc!
It's worked really well for me!! Good luck, and congrats again!!!
