My odd shaped laundry room isn't working, need advice please!
I recently bought a new washer, dryer set. My problem is the new set is larger and therefore is cutting into the space I used for line drying my clothes (and I hang a lot of clothes to dry). I used to have the old appliances side by side and had a drying line that ran the length of the room, past the windows. With the new washer and dryer I could not hang clothes next to the machines since they extended right to the wall. I have tried stacking the appliances which gives me more room but I don't like the look. If I could find a way to use the remainder of the space in the room better I may be convinced to leave them stacked. I need advice on how to incorporate a drying line (ideally with out blocking the windows), hide the laundry baskets and work an ironing board system in. Currently I take this big ironing board out in the hallway. Also these cabinets are so high I can only reach the first shelf so I would be happy to lose them and find another storage solution. This little, odd shaped room is perplexing me and I have googled laundry room designs countless times but can't find a solution The back wall where the windows are has a gentle curve, and the side with the sink narrows practically to the size of the sink cabinet making things that much trickier. Help me please find something that works.

6 years agocan you reach your shut off valve to the water. Can you access the dryer vent for yearly maintenance? I like them stacked. You could but in a bank of floor to ceiling cabinets on the side, with planned access to the vent and water shut off. Have a tall pull out pantry on the side for your ironing board and brooms etc. floor to ceiling cabinets between the pullout and stacked set. Many of the cabinet shelves could be drawers instead of shelves, making it easy to access stuff. The upper areas could be for things you never need often, and reachable by a step ladder kept in the pantry pullout.

Help! My betta fish isn't eating, any advice welcome!
Comments (14)Maybe since his is sick, he is not eating. Its like you with the flu, you dont eat. I would not worrie as much to the eating as the fungus. Im sure once you clean up the fungus he will start to eat. I would try to keep the water temp with in a 2 degree range rather than the 5, do you have a heater in the 2.5g? Dont keep it by a window, you get drafts and sometimes direct sunlight, this can be bad for the overall health of the tank. Just a tip. If by chance the unfortunate happens, get your tank started before you put in the fish. That is, get the plants growing and a stable condtion. This might take from 1-4 weeks, probably the lower on the 2.5g. Good luck....See MoreHelp, please! Odd Shaped Room Needs Rug!

Comments (15)If it was just my husband and I it would be fine the way it is. with children it’s a huge safety issue because if they stand on the couch they can go down the stairs. It’s driving me crazy to say the least. I feel others might look at the room differently than I would and would have a better idea...See MoreLiving Room isn’t working - need to get rid of curio cabinet?
Comments (24)So I tried the couch across the room. I did like aspects about it, but think I would need a smaller profile sofa or maybe one with a chaise. And that is not in the plan in the near future. So I moved the TV back to long wall and will look for a new console, removed the curio, the tall table and positioned the arm chair away from the front door. So all of that is working. Haven’t hung picture yet. Need to get long drapes, curious what you all think on best color? I borrowed a green pair from another room and didn’t mind them. But I am partial to greens so not sure if my bias is at play. And or any other design ideas for example a tall lamp that would add dimension, different art, or what to do with my red vases? I like them and used them in that corner to hide cable cords, but get the sense they aren’t working. Or what to put under my window. Thanks for all the design and decor ideas....See Morecc2016
