Soaping Room

[srenee]

Deda,
I just saw your soap room pictures. Very nice. I am so excited because I need to do 2 rooms like twice the size of your picture. But it can be overwhelming, so I will start slowly and just add a little at a time. You pictures helped get some ideas going for what I need. We move in this week and I am anxious to start, forget the rest of the house...lol

Wow Deda - I'd love that room. For now I will have to settle for my soap "cabinet":

I love that.

I am in my basement right now and it is wet - I have to bring my soap up to cure. In a month it will be perfect..

MeadowHillFarmCT, thank you! The cabinet is in my kitchen. When my husband came home from work today he suggested that I cure the soap in the basement because "it would make the basement smell nice". I think he just doesn't want to smell all the smelly soaps in the kitchen! So during dinner I just pull the vertical door down to cover the scent.

Here's how it looks now.

Wow! You are an organization queen!

I have a detached building, but no running water so I clean up back here in the kitchen. My husband really did a nice job converting a feed storage building for me about a year ago -- it's nice to have everything in one place, but the downside is that it's cold outside now and I can't work in there. We originally put in heat, but it ran through the tanks too fast last year so what we had is not a viable option. Anyway - that's what I have.

Wow, everyone has such nice soaping areas! I am a brand new, newbie soaper, so right now I'm working in my kitchen.

However, I'm also a brand new 1st time homeowner, and I have been blessed with a very large basement! There is one large room down there that already contains a deep laundry sink, a work bench and pegboard to hang utensils, floor drains, cupboards, and copious shelving (and oddly enough, a bathroom stall!). Plus, there is a small adjacent "bomb shelter" room that is insulated and stays at an even 50 degrees all year.

I plan on making this whole section of the basement my work area (for soap, B&B, and woodworking). Visions of my well stocked and organized future soap room have been dancing in my head for days now

Now I don't want anyone to get envious of my set up (ha ha ah). I have a very old 1700's house and the basement is where I soap. I've been doing this for about a month and accumulated very little so far. but this is my setup...

We have a soap room but it is for storage of all supplies and holds the soap. We still do all our soapmaking and stuff in the kitchen. I would really love if we could get an oven and sink into the soap room which is actually one of our 5 bedrooms. But I think the room is going to change once our new baby (due in august) gets old enough for a bigger room than the nursery.

Deda, I passed your pic along to my DH in hopes that he would see all the wonderful organized storage you have and he would get cracking on building more shelving!

I am waiting to add the sink to my soap room area and then the microwave and hot plate. I am currently pricing things out but we have the shelves.[/img]

I am aware that this an old thread but thought it would be better to bump this one rather than create a new one. If that’s a forum no-no....I apologize.

I am in the process of creating my soaping room and would love to see what others have done. If you have a dedicated space - what are your must haves and mane share things you would have done differently. Thx!

No, please don't pull up really old threads. Start a new one and link to this if you like. This is 8 years old. Most posters aren’t here
