MUD ROOM & FIRST FLOOR LAUNDRY
See there's a method to my madness :-). I'm so glad they made this an option in Victoria Falls as it wasn't in the previous Victoria floorplan. Although my dream is second floor laundry, first floor laundry is way better than going in the basement. I love that we have shelves in the laundry room. Plus you know the best part of having a laundry room in your first house...NEW WASHER & DRYER! Although we're going to wait until after we close, like leave from closing with the keys in hand and head straight to the store, I know what I want. Whirlpool WFW95HEX or WFW97HEX washers and the matching gas dryer.
The mud room will help shield our guests from seeing our laundry when they enter and exit through the garage. I would like to find a clever way for shoe storage( I'm thinking of a nice storage bench) in the mud room for the shoes we wear the most. This way they're easily accessible and we don't have a shoe pile when we take our shoes off. I would also like to put in a bookshelf to help organize the recyclables. I saw on the HGTV Green Home and have dreamed of this since.
Update to our settlement time. It's scheduled for 11:00 am May 6th. WE CAN'T WAIT!
We have first floor laundry too. I agree..not as good as 2nd floor, but much better than the basement! I'd love to see a picture of the shelf for the recyclables...I may have to go google that one, that sounds great! I hope May 6th comes quickly for you! SO exciting!
ReplyDeleteYayyyyy...thats soooo soon!!!!! I grew up with laundry in the basement and it was noooo fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI definitely do like the idea of somehow getting a shoe storage in mudroom. I will need to do some shopping around to find what would go good in that room alongside with a bench of some sort. Personally I'm not a big fan of shopping but when you are getting a new house shopping all of a sudden sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteSettlement is around the corner...Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAmazon has the cheapest mudroom shelves and benches. They also have a shoe storage thing that matches the other 2 and holds multiple pairs of shoes. I think I am going to order all three for our mudroom because I haven't seen them any cheaper yet.
@Minaq2, can you give me the name?
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have some great ideas! =) Can't wait for your next update! =)
