Laundry

In this renovation, the once-framed closed-in double-door closet in the laundry room was converted to a locker storage system with room for roll-out laundry basket drawer and a broom closet. The laundry soap is contained in the large drawer beside the washing machine. Behind the mirror, an oversized custom medicine cabinet houses small everyday items such as shoe polish, small tools, masks...etc. The off-white cabinetry and slate were existing. To blend in the off-white cabinetry, walnut accents were added with black hardware. The wallcovering was custom-designed to feature line drawings of the owner's various dog breeds. A magnetic chalkboard for pinning up art creations and important reminders finishes off the side gable next to the full-size upright freezer unit.

Modern laundryroom matches the rest of the custom cabinetry in this fine home remodel. Grey countertop, slate tile flooring, stainless steel undermount laundry sink, and stacked Miele washer and dryer.

Great views from this beautiful and efficient laundry room.

Barbara Bircher, CKD designed this Laundry/Mud room with the understanding that first impressions are very important. With three exterior doors leading into this room, it was most often the entry used by friends and family. Because the family needed individual storage to be more organized, we replaced the closet with a boot bench and lockers. A place for everything and everything in its place as it is said. The warm maple cabinetry and honed granite countertops created the inviting entry they wanted to welcome their guests while the natural slate floor can handle the toughest Minnesota winter.
