Tiny Laundry Room
“Irony | The opposite of wrinkly”
My laundry room was once in the bathroom. Literally, you sat down on the toilet in the powder bath and you looked at the washing machine and dryer. No doors to cover, just right off the front door, there was the bathroom and the laundry room. This wasn’t working for me… So, I went on a mission to figure out how to close off the wall in the bathroom and keep the washer & dryer in the same place, so the plumbing lines and dryer vent didn’t have to be moved. Viola, out came a spacious and fabulous pantry with a full size stacked washer & dryer in a tiny space! It was perfect, except, where was I going to put my iron and ironing board that I use say twice a year when my grandma comes over and I break out the linen napkins? The closet? No, it needed to be more convenient or I knew I would NEVER use it, grandma or not!
I went on a mission to find a fold down ironing board and iron mount. I didn’t want one in a nice cupboard because I didn’t have the space. What I came up with is just perfect and 100% functional. Everything about this is convenient and takes up no extra space. I added an industrial bar for my “hang to dry” clothes and it coordinates with my farmhouse decor perfectly. Think about ways in your home to maximize your space in creative ways and seriously, if the iron and ironing board are stashed away in a closet and haven’t been used in years, don’t burden yourself with that guilt and just get rid of them!
