Jan. 13: I am so pleased to have a real room dedicated to the mundane, necessary task of laundry. For the last 20 odd years, we have done laundry in the kitchen/hallway/family room or where ever. The new laundry room will be contained, with folding surfaces, drying racks and a sink. It is located next to the Master Bedroom so we can avoid hauling laundry up and down stairs. The laundry room ceiling, which started out at 13' high, has been lowered creating a high shelf, accessible from the up stairs hallway, and visible from the front entrance. Thanks Auntie W for the great idea!
Framed laundry room. The ceiling was dropped to 8.5 feet which created the shelf above. A place for baskets perhaps?
The shelf (on the left) is level with the ceiling over the entrance, on the right.
Hallway outside the laundry room and above the entrance.
