How to finally start line drying your laundryOK, maybe not never, but.
When I say over time, I mean LOTS of time.Plan to not have anything change to be exactly what you want for at least 10 years.
Buy the house that fits with that plan.First on your list should be a kitchen and at least one bathroom that feel clean and comfortable to you.They should be updated enough that you can just move right in and use them, even if they’re ugly.
You’ll also need a laundry room that you can use right away and somewhere cleanish and dry that you can store all of your stuff.Look at the foundation of the house, the structure, and the roof.
If these things are “move in ready” then the rest of the ugliness can be taken care of over time.
We had to walk away from a huuuuge beautiful house with 6 bedrooms, amazing fireplaces and original woodwork because the kitchens and bathrooms were really nasty and a new roof was needed right away.It’s a garland and string of light in one!
And suddenly the theme of the mudroom was set, and I went from there.. Can you tell where I’m going with this yet?We have a mudroom off of our kitchen side door, but it’s not quite there in terms of… well, anything really!.I use it for adding some seasonal cheer at the entrance that we use most, and for muddy shoes of course, but that’s about it..
I dream of filling it up with built-ins and hooks and benches and all that goodness sometime in the future, but for now what we have is a little drop zone inside our kitchen..I love looking at the boring functional parts of peoples’ houses so I thought I’d show you ours today!.
