Marie St.Hilaire Hello! Thanks for your question. The laundry/hobby room in the showhouse is 11' 6" wide x 8' 6" long. Please go to http://www.notsobigshowhouse.com for more specifics. Thanks!
Marie St.Hilaire Hi there gmgeith. All of the paint colors in the showhouse can be found on this page: http://www.notsobigshowhouse.com/2011/about/showhouseinfo.asp. The color on the back wall of the laundry/hobby room is Sherwin Williams 7527 'Nantucket Dune', and above the washer and dryer is Sherwin Williams 7729 'Edamame'. Thanks for your question!
At the top of the stairs is a laundry/crafts room. This room provides plenty of storage space and counters for folding. A sink provides a handy cleanup spot for crafts and home projects.
6. Double duty. Adding a desk (either freestanding or built in) allows you to double up on daily chores. Sit comfortably while paying bills, making chore lists and planning dinner for the week, all while paying attention to the laundry.
The Multitasking Laundry RoomA laundry room in and of itself seems like luxury. Combining it with a home office or a workshop is brilliant. I mean, why not pay the bills, write a novel or check your email while the clothes are agitating?
I love this room because of the natural light and the recess light. The room has a bright look. I love the desk and the folding table built above the washer and dryer. Plus having a sink in addition to the cabinetry below the sink, above the water and dryer and along side the desk provides useful storage
I like the window right down onto craft space counter. The sink on the opposite side of the room is okay organizationally, but creates an additional wet wall that really is necessary given the foot print of the room.
Not a library, per se, but laundry and office work are two things that aren't likely to be done at the same time, so the space can be reused. Just have to keep your desktop clean to use as a laundry table.
