The Laundry Room

Looking in from the old kitchen anyone can tell we desperately needed a renovation for the laundry room.

In the tiny space under the stairs the hot water heater, dryer and washer resided.

The washer with the dryer vent hose draped around it to reach the outside.

Originally we planned a bigger renovation to move the wall on the right into the kitchen area.

The contractor suggested removing the hot water heater and installing a tankless one outside.

The floor in this space had to be removed and replaced.

The huge soffits were removed to give the illusion of more space.

Instead of a naked light bulb I now have a very bright LED light in the laundry room.

The new washer has a different profile which leaves space for a hamper next to it.

The dryer rotated into the space where the hot water heater once was.

Vented under the floor to the outside.

The previous dryer space is now a space for baskets and bins for washing essentials.

This may change if I can find a small cabinet allowing access to the washer on the right and the dryer on the left.

The smallest of things delight me about the new space - like having a hamper in the laundry room.

Not having to shimmy through an eight-inch space between the dryer and the doorway to get to the washer.

Having a space to fold and hang clothes in the laundry room.



Having continuous hot water.

I have taken a few thirty-minute hot showers.

I am a fan of tankless hot water heaters!

Thank you, Lee, for figuring a way for us to have the space without moving a wall.

More photos later as we gradually decide what to hang on the walls.


See y'all!
