Hey Jordan, Here are some of my ideas for your next videos: - Tours of the many rooms of your house and how it flows into one another - Sams club vs Costco comparison - House Rules for your kids - Boundaries with extended family and kids friends - car maintenance and the cars you have and car buying hacks - a tour of your garage
No to the first and last one. For their own safety she should not be showing videos on the layout of their home let alone her children's bedrooms...and quite frankly the garage would be one of the worst things to share
I guess I can’t picture how your kids do their own laundry when you have this sorting system they would have to do multiple loads to wash their clothes. Do they use the pull out bins or is that just for you? Also do you have days of the week for them to do laundry cause how do they all have time to each do 5 loads? I love the idea just not sure how it would look in practice and in flow.
One thing I implemented years ago was printing out pictures of which clothes go in which dirty hamper and hanging it above each hamper. For over 10 years now my kids from about the age of 3 on up know how to sort the laundry for me to wash. No sorting anymore, it's done for me. Then after watching your first video, I didn't have room for full size laundry baskets, but got the rolling hamers that have like 3 bags on them, put a name on each bag and sort it right out of the dryer. Very easy system!
LOVE this design! I was a commercial interior designer and worked on hotels from time to time. I am quite impressed that you - independently and without any direct architectural training - arrived at many of the solutions routinely applied to hotel laundry rooms (the two-way access linen closet, for instance). Brilliant!
If only. My washing machine is in my kitchen and my tumble dryer broke tail end of 2022. We don’t have laundry rooms over here unless the house it’s been built when the house has. I love hanging my washing out the back door to dry on nice days. Oh am Scottish and still live here x
Feeling your pain, that laundry room is practically the size of my kitchen/diner. We’re used to slumming it in the UK with our washing machines in the kitchen 😂😂
It’s so easy to make the excuse of “I don’t have ___” or “I’ll wait until I have ___” to make a system that works (I’m very guilty of it myself) but at the end of the day those are just excuses and while, yes, it will be harder with less space and less machines, it’s still doable. P.S. you best believe my first adult chance I get to have 2 of each I will 😅
Hi, im not a mommy and probably have a few years till then but have always been super big into learning about how to be a mother . So my question is, when you give them chores, what do you believe is your responsibility in chores and then whats there responsibility in chores. ( what chores are only for you and what chores are mainly for the kids) Aka how do you delegate tasks
My biggest regret for my laundry room is that I didn’t get both machines as washer dryer combos. Then we could’ve washed and dried all the endless loads of laundry in half the time. Thanks for sharing Jordan.
You didn't mention the dots you put on the labels! I learned that from you and it makes sorting the laundry a lot easier. Especially because now my husband and kids can take over part of the sorting 😊
Wondering how you handle towels and each person knowing which one is theirs. I had 12 children (only two left in the home, others have launched). I found white towels with one small colored stripe. Each child had their color. I did that with tooth brushes, cups, combs etc. Helped to keep it from getting overwhelming.
If you ever get tired of having the linen closet open, just do a nice shower curtain or ceiling mounted curtain. It will be easier to open and close with less damage than barn doors cause
I don’t even have laundry in my home, but I still love watching this video! I did adopt your method a few years ago of sorting by weight instead of color. Something I do, is I have multiple baskets for dirty laundry and we sort it as we put it in the baskets which means no sorting on laundry day!
Lots of good tips. Instead of using a door for the bigger stuff like comforters, I will drape the item over the shower bar in the bathroom and that also works really well.
Really love your suggestions! I can definitely see where exposed laundry baskets would work really well! Function over looks sometimes is best! Especially with a big family!
Thank for great tips! I took some of ur ideas for washing by weight and having big baskets. Now that i have karndry room i can have shelves and big baskets. When i lived in the building i had 3 bag laundry sorter in the hallway, so i always sorted my laundry.
My parents wanted 2 washers and 2 dryers? Bc my parents had 6 kids? And they didn’t get what they wanted they didn’t even get the third bathroom. The construction company got many things wrong. 5th bedroom no third bathroom. And mom made us all do our own laundry so we didn’t mix up our stuff with anyone else’s .
That's awesome! My mom and dad taught me how to do laundry when I was 6 because I was curious. My stepmother was not happy that I didn't want her to do my laundry, but my goal has always been to be completely independent so my parents can rest sometimes.
Thank-you for doing the laundry room tour video. The room looks amazing, and the basket shelves look better without doors attached to them (they actually don't make sense at all in their location anyway).
Hey Jordan, New subscriber from Tn. I implemented your tips lfor our small family. I love the sorting now. No guess work. Hey I live your eye shadow. I too have haxel eyes what colors/brand you wearing? Your twins and you share my birthday March 8th so awesome. Have a great weekend Viola East Tn
Ohhhhh I was waiting for the second part to get the steamer info 😢… I know you’ve mentioned it several times but can’t go thru qll of your videos now, and my iron just broke. Please if anyone knows or has the info I’d appreciate it SOOOO MUCHHHH! Thanks!
We do this with our kids - they each have their own basket and they are responsible for putting their clean clothes away. It's amazing! 1000% recommend!
I am so glad the RU-vid channel is back after it got hacked!!! I didn't realise I come back here from time to time for a refresher!!!! Thanks Jordan!!!
The drawers with laundry baskets you built them or bought them? My husband just finished the floor in my new laundry room and i want something like that! Thank you Beautiful ❤️
This is so cool! I live in a small townhouse, & my washer & dryer are in my tiny half-bath. I have no shelves for any storage whatsoever. But I make it work. This is the dream though!
How can you remember which clothes belongs to whom?! You have 8 kids and I believe you hand down some of their clothes to the younger ones. I am amazed!
My washer is in our hallway and the space where our dryer is supposed to be, we have a small box freezer in that space because it's on one side of our kitchen area. We are a family of four in a one bedroom apartment so we're cramped for space
That's the same set up my mom had when we were growing up. Our laundry room was in an outbuilding next to our house. There were 6 in our family and we were farm kids who had play clothes and school clothes, so there was plenty of laundry. And yes, we had 2 washers, 2 driers, a hamper per person for our individual clean laundry, and many hampers for sorting loads. With my 3 kids and homeschooling all of them K-12, we had 4 hampers: whites, colors, darks, towels, in the master bathroom's walk in closet. (We had a notecard on each hamper with drawn pictures of clothing items in the designated colors for pre-readers.)Kids bathed in the master bathroom for the sake of making laundry sorting easier. On laundry day as soon as the dryer buzzer went off we stopped what we were doing and it was all hands on deck and everyone ages 3+ helped put all clothes on hangers, (no folding at my house), sorted undies and socks, rolled towels, sorted bedding, and put it all away. Then we got back to what we were doing. When they turned 8 years old they became responsible for all of their own laundry and were assigned a day to do it. We got a step stool so they could reach the bottom of the top loading washer. Best thing ever. Don't do your kids' laundry of they're over 7-it infantalizes them.
I love it i have a outside building which my husband kept and put a roof on it its just the size for a washer dryer and racks and a folding table problem is just the washer dryer in it right now my husband passed before he could finish it for me that was 5 yrs ago plus now my brand new washer is no longer brand new its 10 yrs old and the drain pump went i dont know what to do im on ssi and my boys are no help but i will figure it out, just love your laundry room
Such a rude question - pull your head in! Just because she shares personal things with the world doesn't give you a right to ask insensitive questions like that. Especially when the status of her marriage in none of your business.
