So living with roommates, well roommates you like, can be an awesome experience. It gives you someone to come home to and do things with as well as someone to cook with, cause lets be honest cooking for one sucks!
One small problem with living with roommates can be communication. Now hopefully this does not apply to big issues like missing food or broken items but small things like say are the dishes in the dishwasher clean or dirty can be a common problem. Now if you have a great dishwasher that there is no need to pre-wash and is spotless whenever it is done running this might not be a huge issue. You might get an occasional "oops I thought that was dirty" but for the most part you need a subtle reminder of when they are clean or dirty.
My creative and crafty way to accomplish involved a cute wooden plaque, paint, stencils and magnets. I picked colors that were bright and eye catching and matched well with our color theme. Next was to paint the background colors and stencil the words clean and dirty on opposing sides. I then hot glued the magnets to the back.
Now when we empty the dishwasher we can switch it to say dirty and when we run it we can switch it to clean, so no more oopsies for the dishwasher!
