What is it about getting back from a vacation and feeling like you need another one when tackling all the laundry? I put off the unpacking yesterday because I couldn’t face the laundry, but today is laundry day and I will be spending a lot of time in my butlers pantry where we have hidden our washer and dryer under the countertop and behind some cabinet doors. This is one of those small space solutions that people are always amazed that we came up with, but honestly I think when you’re coming from an apartment in New York, you will get as creative as possible to have the luxury of a washer/dryer in your house. Remember that historic house restoration in Mississippi I shared a couple weeks ago? Well this is the laundry room, and today I am extremely jealous.  Although I am quite content doing laundry in the butlers pantry, one day I am going to have a dedicated laundry room that I hope is as attractive and organized as this one. I guess you have officially grown up when what you’re fantasizing about is a large organized laundry room. Happy Friday!
