A big decision in my house was where to put the laundry.
The previous homeowner had a backyard shed that they put the washer and dryer hookups in there.
I wasn’t pleased at all. The shed serves as my home gym and a washer and dryer would cut the space in half. Also, the walk to and from the house is unpleasant. I don’t want to carry a full basket of clothes that far and through sand as well. It was a pain. My husband and I put washer and dryer hookups in a spare bedroom and that worked for a few years. Now I am pregnant and we have realized the washer and dryer again need to move. The baby has to go in that room. I don’t know how I feel about putting my child where my washer and dryer are. I looked at building an addition and it was obscene. What I think we will end up doing is using a shipping container laundry room. Modular laundry rooms are becoming more popular. The shipping container has washer and dryer hookups in it. You can have a door that locks and windows in there. You can even splurge to have heating and cooling. The shipping container can be replaced anywhere on the property. We have a side door that leads to nothing. I think I will set the modular laundry room right by that door. The washer and dryer are out of the way but the walk isn’t so far for me. It is a win-win situation.
