Isn’t it priceless when old people fight in public? We’ll get to that. First – evolution. The apartment laundry room didn’t just magically improve itself – it took exactly 50 bad ideas before someone else gave us the answer. The closet with which we started. (Which led to the pipe dream. As illogical as always). [...]

Ask me where my keys are. Go on. I know the answer. I know the answer every single second of every single day. THEY’RE IN THE DRAWER!!!! A year’s derailment through chaos and disorder - not always the fault of the apartment renovation.

We bought the laundry room floor last year when a massive, massive sale aligned with our massive, massive disinterest in our tiny laundry closet-room. Large, square vinyl tiles, inoffensive beige, pennies each. Whatevs, man. We made off like bandits with the stuff. [...]
This was our apartment laundry room on Day 1. A boring, ugly little corner we knew we were lucky to have. Many apartments – if they have in-suite laundry – have it tucked in a tiny closet. At 25 square feet this one almost had room to wander. Storage space, with laundry, right next to [...]
Toasty towels – pennies or pocketfuls? Yesterday was beds and the days prior – bedrooms. Today? Sheets. Pillowcases. Your socks. You see, I’ve got dryer guilt. Energy-saving rhetoric and costly shared apartment laundry had convinced me – to now – that dryers are just bad news. But they can’t be avoided. Soggy towels are an even drearier [...]
