It has now been about five-and-a-half months since I completed my walk-in closet with the washer and dryer. Once I determined to place the washer and dryer within the closet, I had quite a lot of blended opinions about that call. And to be sincere, I didn’t fairly know the way it could work out. The one factor I used to be positive about is that having the washer and dryer inside my walk-in closet can be much better than what I had earlier than. So in my thoughts, any enchancment over that earlier setup can be a superb factor, even when it wasn’t excellent.
When you’ll bear in mind, from the time we moved into this home in 2013 till nearly six months in the past, my “laundry room” was situated in our sunroom, which is essentially the most terrible room of our complete home. In reality, I dislike this room a lot that it’s slated to be torn down ultimately. However sadly, I had no different choices, in order that’s the place the washer and dryer lived for twelve years.
I hated going into that room a lot that I dreaded doing laundry. And since I dreaded doing laundry, it could pile up till I had no choice however to go in there and get some laundry completed.
I knew that even when having the washer and dryer within the walk-in closet wasn’t excellent, a minimum of it could be an enormous enchancment over what I had. So I went for it after I had the chance.
Properly, now that I’ve been residing with this association for five-and-a-half months, I can let you know that I completely LOVE this association! It’s not simply “Properly, that is higher, so it’ll do.” I might say that, a minimum of for me, this entire association has been excellent.
Now, relating to doing laundry, I don’t dread it in any respect. I received’t go as far as to say that I get enthusiastic about laundry now. 😀 I don’t know that something would make me really enthusiastic about doing laundry. Nevertheless it doesn’t really feel like a chore anymore.
And for the reason that bulk of what I wash stays in our master suite suite (towels, sheets), and the vast majority of that stays proper right here in my closet (garments, clearly), it feels so handy to have the washer and dryer proper right here on this room.
I by no means thought that I’d be a kind of individuals who is so organized that I really sustain with the laundry. I’ve by no means been that individual earlier than, however I’ve additionally by no means had a handy laundry space earlier than. Earlier than we lived on this home with laundry space within the sunroom, we lived in a apartment with the laundry space within the hallway (and no countertop to fold laundry). And earlier than that, we lived in two homes with the laundry space within the storage. So that is the primary time in my life that I’ve a laundry space in a really handy place and proper subsequent to a big countertop (the island) the place I can get laundry out of the dryer and fold it instantly.
When my mother was at my home final week, she even commented (and appeared a bit shocked) at how properly I used to be maintaining with my closet. The entire room is simply so handy and environment friendly in its format and group that I take delight in retaining it wanting good. And naturally, she was shocked at how properly I’ve been maintaining with the laundry. She is aware of me, and she or he is aware of my previous habits of letting laundry pile up earlier than tackling it. However that’s a factor of the previous now. New Kristi, with the brand new walk-in closet with the handy laundry space, is a special lady.
I’ve to confess that I’ve shocked even myself. Once I completed this closet, I knew that I needed to maintain it clear and arranged. I knew that I needed to maintain up with the laundry and never go away piles of soiled garments on the ground, or piles of unpolluted laundry on the counter tops. However realizing my previous habits, I form of had my doubts that I’d really have the ability to dwell as much as these hopes.
Nevertheless it’s been five-and-a-half months now, and this entire association has been life-changing for me. I don’t imply to sound overly dramatic about it, however it actually has modified this a part of my life for the higher. The place I used to dwell with piles of laundry and a relentless dread of getting to do laundry, now I don’t give it a lot thought in any respect. I simply get in there and get it completed, and I don’t let laundry pile up anymore.
So if you happen to’ve been contemplating placing a washer and dryer in a walk-in closet, I can let you know from my private expertise that I extremely suggest it. Severely, I’d give it ten out of ten stars. I actually do assume it’s my finest design determination but.
