Clean and Dirty Ideas

I think I may make this into a magnet for the dishwasher.  It seems like such a superfluous thing to add to the house though; seems unnecessary when you can just open the dishwasher, look, and see that the dishes are clean or dirty.  But how else could I use these images?  I like them and haven't been able to think of a way to display them other than the magnet.  There's got to be a way I can use them in the laundry room too.  I'm still thinking...  Any ideas??  Does anyone use a magnet for the dishwasher or laundry?  I have seen them for sale somewhere and think I laughed to myself when I saw it.  But I do like cute little things for the house so I am not one to judge.  I may just print them up and mat them side by side and hang it in the laundry room.  Heeeyyy, there's an idea.  Sometimes it just takes a little public rant brainstorming to work things out.  Thanks for listening. {smiles}

Sometimes I actually can't tell whether the dishes are clean or dirty, and it can be kind of gross going through the silverware to try to figure it out - so I say yes to the dishwasher magnet!

Anika said...

HA! YES! That is super gross!! I hadn't thought of my disgust in those moments. What's even more disgusting is when you unload most of the dishes to then realize that they were dirty all along. See how valuable internet brainstorming can be?! Thanks!

PS- am going to make you one...I never want you to have to experience that again ;)

Hi Anika,
Love your ideas, both magnets and prints! I had to smile at the magnet idea, as that seems to be a constant refrain at our house - "Are these clean or dirty". Maybe you could make a million $ on magnets:)
Happy week to you!

Well, I know when the dishes are clean or dirty, so I won't need this magnet;)

I have never seen these Anika, and I like them!! Truly just a fun little thing for the kitchen (or laundry room!)

Thank you so very much for sharing with us today at The Creative Exchange.

Have a wonderful day!

Ah yes, I have done that several times since the fam moved in and we started using the dishwasher (emptied it before realizing the dishes were dirty) - BLECH!!

Believe it or not, I don't have a dishwasher, except for my husband. He might object to hanging these around his neck.

I'm glad we helped you:)
I don't use magnet in dishwasher or laundry room. We empty dishwasher as soon it is ready so no mix ups and all the clean clothes we put the cabinets as soon as they are dry and for dirty one I have big Ikea boxes, no mix ups:)
You can make clean art print show to your laundry room so it is much more joyful to work there, something nice to look at same time your are working with laundry.
