Cape Cod Beach House Remodel Beach Style Kitchen, Boston

Before the remodel the clients had the washer and dryer in the kitchen. They liked it in that location so we added a countertop above for more useable space.

I have my washer and dryer in my kitchen enclosed in cabinets. As stated by Hammond Design, it is a hassle with the doors when loading and unloading.

did you have to raise the height of the counter from standard height for the washer dryer to fit or did you build the counter up higher?

Thanks for the inquiry. We used compact laundry machines so the counter could be the same height as the rest of the kitchen.

Thanks for the inquiry. We had the area custom built by the contractor.

It's about 30" deep. The washer and dryer are 30" deep plus a little space behind them for the plumbing and electrical outlets.

I don't have the exact specs but this is an LG set. The dryer is ventless and the units are both compact models for small spaces. Thanks!

“To help maintain those cooler temperatures during the day, reduce anything that generates heat in your house or apartment. For example, don’t use the dryer or oven and try not to open the fridge too often.” — Mariana PickeringEven if you are not able to turn off your air conditioner during the summertime, these tips will help you cut down your costs by keeping your home cooler naturally. Pickering’s tips hark back to a lot of the things our grandparents did before A/C existed — making the most of cross breezes, closing shades and drapes at certain times of day to keep the sun from baking a room, strategically planting trees, setting a chunk of ice beneath a fan and more. I had never even thought about giving my appliances a rest during the hottest times of day, but now I will make it a regular practice. Full story: 6 Ways to Cool Off Without Air Conditioning
