You know what I envision here in this soon-to-be-ex-laundry-room? A mudroom! A mudroom in the room that comes in the door from the garage before the door to the rest of the house. Oh yes, I’m starting to see larger plans for this space… We brainstorm pushing the wall back to make the laundry room bigger (it shares a wall with the downstairs bedroom), but I have another reason I don’t want the laundry room in here at all. …the problem is that stacking them doesn’t solve the depth problem. While on the plus side, it reminds me (in a good way) of living in Japan… ELEVEN if you count the washer and dryer doors.ĭo YOU want to hang out in a tiny passageway with 11 doors opening into you? Do your laundry in there? Try to navigate your arms full of groceries through there and whatever else you will want to carry in and out of your garage for the next 20 years?Īnd while the below is cute, I don’t think I wanna stack them. NINE different doors are opening into a coffin-sized laundry room. It’s behind two more large cabinet doors that open behind the door from the rest of the house…whew, you see, even that sentence has too many “door” words in it.) (You can’t see it from this angle, but there’s a whole second storage area. The door from the rest of the house opens up into it, then there’s the door into the garage. There are also a lotta doors opening into this tiny laundry room, adding to the clautrophobia. So while it’s already a narrow room, having a modern-day washer and dryer just make it even narrower.Īaaaaaaaaaaack! There it is again! Anxiety! Shortness of breath! Claustrophobia! Panic!Ĭlearly something needs to be changed, but what can be done? It’s the laundry room! We can’t rip it out. The washer and dryer pictured above in the original homeowner’s setup were even smaller than our new washer and dryer, which stick out past the plane of the walkway from door to door, if that makes sense. Look at that lady! She’s flying like the wind with her laundry, it’s so easy! Who WOULDN’T want to r aise it up that high? Riddle me that.) Something like this would be lovely and bright: Jump ahead to our Step 2 on the laundry room by clicking here, or continue reading to see what we decide to make this old laundry room into!Īt this point, I know I want to go all white to help with the smallness and the fact there are zero windows. I don’t want to feel like I’m in a coffin while I’m doing laundry. And you know what else, I don’t think I’m getting dramatic ENOUGH! It’s a serious situation, people. This house is massive, with more room than anyone could ever need, and yet the laundry room feels like a coffin. So you’re going in and out this passageway all the livelong day. It’s not just a small laundry room, it’s also A MAIN PASSAGEWAY. This pic is taken from the door into the laundry room (from the rest of the house). I feel like photos don’t even do it justice. If you want to jump ahead you can see what we turned this small room into here!Ī few of the sensations I feel in this laun dry room are:Īnxiety. Tell me, do you feel any sensations when you look at this space? You can find the after of this room here!
