Computer & dialup acting strange last nite...

OUR MOST EXCELLENT LAUNDRY ROOM

I tried to post last nite but it was either the dumb dial-up or the actual blog program that was not behaving too well. But, better late than never right.. today you will get two posts.

The pictures will not do it justice but it will give you a bit of an idea. This is taken standing in the corner where the sink is looking at doorway to the kitchen and doorway to outside and the parking pad beside the house.

It has a nice size closet and just space to move. I have never had a laundry room this size.

This one is taken from the kitchen looking into the the room. The door to outside is just around the corner to your right. The closet is right behind the open door to laundry room on your left.

As you can see I have a little shoe shelf - it works. I using the closet in the laundry room as a big pantry. I have put a big shelf thing in there that takes up the whole closet.

Yes, those are our washer and dryer. They were going to put them in before renters came and we told them to hold off and we would use ours. Took a little financial pressure off the owners as they just purchased this property and of course all the work they did in the cottage to make it so nice before we moved was an expense too.

This pic is taken from the opposite corner as the first - looking at the sink and of course my little window overlooking the backyard. Oh ya! - we bought a clothes line. . One of those umbrella type, so we can take it to our new house.

Right in front of the sink I usually have my ironing board set up. It fits right in that space between the closet and the sink along that wall.

Where do you guys set up your ironing board. I can never figure out where to do that where it isn't a complete eye sore. I am not the type to do laundry and then iron everything before putting it away .... I iron as I go... so it has always perplexed me as to where is a good place to put an ironing board so it can stay up all the time. Any and all suggestions are welcome. In the new house the laundry room is on the main floor and our bedroom on second so I don't think that will work.. Do I want it up all the time in a spare room NOT REALLY.. maybe in my huge walkin closet...

You know, years ago they used to have ironing boards that were built into a closet sort of thing. Don't know if you have ever seen one but there is a cupboard built into the wall - you open the door and fold down the ironing board. It tucks away into the wall when you are finished with it. Just a thought.....
