We are getting ready to knock down some walls and open up our cramped laundry room. This is a space that you enter into from the garage and then into the kitchen. Right now there are 4 doors in this small space and we'd like to take down 2 walls and get rid of two doors. One door goes into the garage, one door goes into the small room with the washer, dryer, and sink, one door (bifold) is a closet/storage area and one door goes to the kitchen. When we take out the 2 doors, this will open up the space to approximately 164" long and 67" wide. The ceilings are 9 ft.

It needs to serve as a place for the washer and dryer, a sink, and storage for cleaning supplies. There will still be a door that goes to the garage and a door that goes into the kitchen. We will be getting a new washer and dryer once we decide how to lay out the new room. I need a deep laundry room sink for bathing the dog and would like it to be an undermount type. We do want some cabinets to keep everything stored away. We'll need new lighting, flooring, and counter tops.

We'd like to keep the washer and dryer in the same general location so we don't have the expense of moving that water and electrical. However, we do want to move the sink to the other side where the closet currently is so its not so close to the washer/dryer. We will consider a stackable washer/dryer if that is the best option (although our contractor doesn't think that's a good option if we later sell).

I hope you can tell what the space is like from these pictures. It's hard to take pics in such a small space. I'll have to attach the pics in 2 separate posts. The first picture shows the door from the kitchen area.
