It has now been about five-and-a-half months since I completed my walk-in closet with the washer and dryer. After I determined to place the washer and dryer within the closet, I had a number of combined evaluations about that call. And to be trustworthy, I didn’t fairly know the way it will 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 ultimate.
For those who’ll keep 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 total home. In truth, 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 will 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 ultimate, a minimum of it will be an enormous enchancment over what I had. So I went for it once I had the chance.
Nicely, 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 “Nicely, that is higher, so it’ll do.” I might say that, a minimum of for me, this entire association has been ultimate.
Now, on the subject of doing laundry, I don’t dread it in any respect. I gained’t go as far as to say that I get enthusiastic about laundry now. 😀 I don’t know that something would make me truly enthusiastic about doing laundry. But it surely 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 type of individuals who is so organized that I truly sustain with the laundry. I’ve by no means been that particular person 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 condominium 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 structure and group that I take pleasure in conserving 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 girl.
I’ve to confess that I’ve shocked even myself. After 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 understanding my previous habits, I sort of had my doubts that I’d truly be capable to dwell as much as these hopes.
But it surely’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, nevertheless 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 continuing 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 in the event you’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. Critically, I’d give it ten out of ten stars. I actually do assume it’s my greatest design determination but.
