Laundry room/changing station

I LOVE MY LAUNDRY ROOM!

It is located on the main level of our house with the living rooms, kitchen and bathroom.  The reason this room is so exciting for me is because not only is this the place I wash, dry and fold our clothes, but it is the room where I change diapers during the day.  I am fully aware of how silly this sounds, so first... here is what it looks like:

Don't be jealous!  :o)  

Seriously, this set up helps me a lot.  There is nothing fancy about how I do the laundry, but the fact that it's also my changing station is great!  
 
We live in a two story house, and since our changing table is in the baby's room upstairs, I often found myself changing diapers on the floor downstairs.  If you have ever changed a diaper in your life, you know how annoying this can be.  Lay the baby on the ground, put something under the tush to protect the ground from accidents, then whip out the diaper and wipes... OOPS!  WIPES!  Run and get the wipes.  Now clean the tush.  Oh no, you see a little rash on the bum!  Run and get the diaper rash cream.  WHERE IS IT???  Meanwhile, your little one is now running around your living room peeing all over the rug.  You get my point.  Anyhow, it made changing diapers a real chore.  Granted, it's never fun, but at least my system makes it a little bit more enjoyable... for me anyways!

As you can see, I have everything I need within arms reach, which is a lot when you are cloth diapering.  I love it!  Plus, when it's diaper wash day, the diapers are already in the laundry room!  Mine are in a covered bin in front of the dryer on the left.  You can't see it, but I assure you it is there!  Bonus!  :o)
