So, I have an awesome landlord. I mean, there's probably not many who would pretty much give you free reign in adding on a room while paying for all of it. As long as we don't use "wild" colors {his words, not mine, ha ha!}.
I have wanted a laundry room for, like, ever. The closest thing I ever had to a laundry room was in my husband and mine's first apartment after we were married. It was basically a large walk-in closet with the washer on one side, dryer on the other, facing each other with space in between where we had a chest of drawers for extra storage {the one used here for hubby's dresser}. It was so nice because it was inside, enclosed and convenient Our previous home had the typical garage set-up, and we had discussed options for creating an actual room.
