Finishing the Laundry & Utility Closets

A while back I bought a stackable washer dryer to maximize storage space. After I had a little time to think about how I wanted to finish the space, I had the contractor add a counter for folding laundry from a stock piece of countertop and a rod to hang clothes to dry!


The new utility closet is across from the laundry room and behind the fireplace. Originally, I was going to put the litter box in the laundry closet but when this new utility closet was built I started to rethink this. I still have to keep the door to the utility closet cracked open and obviously I can't store food in here, but it's clearly the best place for the litter box. And now that shelves have been installed, it is far more usable!

Total cost for both projects: $300 (for labor and materials)
