Reinventing the wheel, woops, I mean closet.

laundry-drop-your-pants.jpgIs it a bit irrational that I've considered taking all of the clothes dressers out of each of our rooms and move them to the laundry room? Is that wrong? A little too much? Over the top?

I've spent most of last week at home. I've been consciensously trying to not go out and spend money, because there is plenty to do here. Still, I found myself online spending money. But when I'm not on the computer, I'm moving things like toys and shoes - particularly laundry. It's a vicious cycle really. Take clothes out of hamper, down to to laundry room. Sort, wash, dry. Take upstairs to couch and fold. Take back up to the dressers.

If I just have the dressers down to the laundry room, then the kids and Ricardo have to do all the work up and down the stairs. Wake up. Shower, run down stairs to laundry room, suit uup for the day. Drop pj's in laundry. Do it again at night. Right?

I'm trying to decide if it's laziness, or if this is really a domesticated engineering gone right. But it's taken me a week to write this, so I'm back to starting all over again on the laundry today, so it's starting to sound like a brilliant idea.

My aunt has designed her house so that her washer and dryer are behind a door off her master suite. Brilliant. But I'd have to lose the shower for that at my house. So, maybe the dressers down in the basement more feasible.

That's how I roll.

I want a laundry chute from the kids bedrooms to the basement and then a dumb waiter to send it all back up....I totally feel your pain.

Well,Yallison ... That (laundry chute)was going to be my first suggestion. The second suggestion was that the laundry room should be located behind the master bedroom. There should be enough room to sort, fold, hang etc. You could hide out in there. Yeah, I suppose you could have your computer, TV and phone in there. Are you getting(groking)this?
