Wow, very cool design software, I wish I knew how to use something like that! Just thinking... could you maybe incorporate your laundry into this area? I like the cabinets, I think they look fine but this might be a cool space to do a nice antique piece or something..it wouldn't really make sense to keep your laundry stuff in here if your laundry was elsewhere. Could you make the room a bit smaller and use the space in an adjacent area?

www.houzz.com is a great site. Someone from this forum suggested it. I've spent hours there in the last few days.

It's a great idea but I dont think my washer/dryer will fit. They are huge front loaders- 36 inches deep and prob 32-36 across. They are only a few steps away in the KITCHEN- ugh! However, we dont have anywhere else to put them- basement is totally finished and upstairs is sort of small. But if anyone see's something I am not considering along those lines, def worth considering!

The software is chief architect 9.0- its only about 50 dollars and is supposedly easy to use but it does take a little trial and error. Some people are really good with it. I'm a hack.

Heading off to houzz now....thanks!

You can potentially stack your washer/dryer. That's what planning on in my 2nd floor space

They are stackable- they will have to be stacked if they stay in the kitchen.....how would you lay it out given the space?
