Sparkling Clean

Think efficient and fun when you step into this laundry room. Framed by an arched doorway, the oversized porthole window with cross-hatching is topped with a reminder of the much loved, homespun truth that a stitch in time saves nine. And just in case you need more proof, settle yourself down at the fully restored treadle sewing machine and whip up a few hems and pleats.

No doubt occasionally serving double duty as a bath for the family's four-footed members, this laundry's country-style apron sink sports wall mount faucets plus lots of surrounding work surface for sorting, folding, or de-mudding everything from galoshes to flower pots - perfect for a multi tasking master.

But despite its rural, country charm, when it comes right down to it, this laundry is all about contemporary efficiency. A sleek front load washer/dryer team conserve both energy and water. Cleaning supplies tuck neatly out of sight in banks of cabinetry, and the flooring is a hardworking, durable tile that combines easy care with good looks. Getting clean was never more enjoyable.
