The laundry room
The last day of the holiday was wet, which was perfect for photographing.
The final day off was a rainy one, which was ideal: a good excuse to stay in and finally photograph what I have been working on.
The laundry room has changed a fair bit.
Apart from a plumber simplifying some of the pipework and swapping a couple of taps, all of it was done here and all of it on a budget. Nothing elaborate. Just a clean room where a washed sock can be put down without anyone worrying it needs washing again.
The layout
I chose a stacked washer and dryer, entirely because of the existing plinth. The plinth was staying, so the machines had to work around it rather than the other way round.
A kitchen worktop butts up against them, carried on a shelving support system.
I was lucky with the worktop: it was already the right size and needed no cutting to length. It did need a hole cut for the sink, and a notch to clear the kitchen drainage pipe. And it is extremely heavy to manoeuvre single-handed, which I did not properly appreciate until I was underneath it.
The curtain
The chevron fabric was bought for a shower curtain, and I picked up a length of the same pattern in green at the same time with nothing in mind for it. It ended up under the worktop.
It hangs on elastic curtain wire, which is the right answer for a short span with no proper track.
If the hem looks peculiar in the photographs, the floor is to blame. It falls away sharply to the drain. A straight-cut version read as far too short at the low end. Following the floor looks better than fighting it.
There is not much behind it, I do not need the storage, just a couple of buckets for cleaning.
