As Featured in West + Main Home Magazine: From Chore to Chic

 
 

West + Main agent Ashley Busch and her husband Drake took on the big challenge of creating a laundry room in their home.

"Our laundry room was previously located in a closet in the kitchen which made it very inconvenient,” said Ashley. “I was tired of folding laundry on my dining room table and having the washer and dryer be an eyesore in the kitchen. At first I preferred not to have a laundry room in the basement, however we decided this was a much better alternative to our kitchen laundry closet!” Ashley said.

There was no plumbing in this space, so the most expensive part of this project was getting the plumber to come to the house and drill a hole in the foundation to be able to install a drain.

“I love everything about my new laundry space,” said Ashley. “It's actually fun to get away and do laundry now! I love that I don't have to fold clothes on my dining room table anymore and it doesn't bother me one bit that it's in the basement - I just count it as extra steps! Sometimes I stand at the doorway and just stare at the room because it's just so pretty.”
