Can you believe this use to be my laundry area? Seriously!
My family of four moved into a 1950’s ranch 3 years ago. At 2200 square feet, we love the size of our house, but don’t love its lack of storage. We have no laundry room, pantry, garage, or basement! I didn’t want to have to put the washer and dryer outside where the hookups were, so we ran them through the wall and turned the breakfast nook into a laundry area. It always bothered me! All of our guests enter through the back door (in the kitchen) and there sat our washer and dryer, beside the stove and refrigerator, in all its glory!
Six months ago we were selling an old love seat. Before it sold, we moved it into the kitchen for “temporary” holding before the new owners came to pick it up. I realized how much I loved having a seating area in the kitchen. This is the room the family gathers in and I spend a great deal of time in. The washer and dryer were sitting in what could be a great breakfast nook out family could enjoy. This is what it looked liked:
