Laundry Room Layout Help, multi multi purpose!
Comments (3)Some thoughts-- Could you hang a small cabinet or place shelves above the toilet for storage? It looks like you are storing paper towels and toilet paper under the countertop. Perhaps the recycling could be moved to the garage. How about a curtain hung in front of the toilet? If you have children, they probably won't pull it closed, but they are also unlikely to close a door. My washer and dryer are front loaders under a countertop which can be used for folding. Some people seem to love that, others not. Just a thought. . . I would then extend the countertop for folding to include the sink so that you have one long surface. Since you moved the storage, laundry baskets could be stored under the countertop. By putting a shelf the depth of the countertop under the countertop halfway up from the floor, you will have room for more laundry baskets. A rod could extend from the side of the cabinets (or shelving unit, see below) above the countertop to the back wall, depending on how long the pants and skirts you would like to hang are. Mine fit above my countertop, but I'm not very tall, either. If you are tall, maybe you could hang the rod higher. New door? A pocket door. A step ladder could then be hung on the wall where the door currently swings. In fact, that would open the entire wall up for whatever you would like. The space is fairly narrow with the washer and dryer on the opposite wall, but the wall could be used to hang things. For a landing pad, you could use part of the countertop or mount hooks for keys, purse, etc. on the wall. It just depends on what you would like to use the landing pad for. OR, you don't say what you use the cabinets over the washer and dryer for. I'm guessing laundry detergent, etc., but there is quite a lot of storage space there. Raise the upper cabinet to the ceiling and you will have room for a shelf underneath which could suffice for a landing pad. Depending on what you are storing, replace the cabinet with shelving. I don't really see an option for a drying rack on the floor. I hang just about everything that doesn't need to dry flat. If it does need to dry flat, I use the countertop. By using skirt hangers with clips as well as regular plastic hangers, I can hang just about anything other than sweaters which must dry flat to avoid stretching. The hangers used for drying are stored on the hanging rod. Good luck!...See MoreItalian design multi-purpose furniture

Comments (7)They all have their own individual life cycles and chemical susceptibilities. Identify each pest of concern and then look up control recommendations for each. Including non-chemical responses that may be described. Think of it as medical treatment for your plants. You don't take aspirin for every health problem of your own either....See MoreTurning Dining Room into Multi-purpose room
Comments (10)I looked online for Southwestern furniture, and there is not a huge selection. What I did find was expensive. If you look at the background on the chair above, you will notice that the floor is just a regular natural color oak floor. Your floor might be okay as it is, especially if you use an area rug for your southwestern theme. Area rugs are an easy way to create the Southwestern mood, while eliminating the need to refinish the floor. Home Depot has many suitable rugs online at an economical price....See MoreAllison Yeary
