Drawer knife block and Cutting Board so I can pretend to be a masterchef!

I hated the wasted space of a laundry so much, we opted to put the washing machine in the bathroom. Washing is sorted and folded in the family room, whilst watching TV. Makes the task less dull and from there it can go to the correct side of the house, as the family room is the hub. Ironing is done in front of the TV, where necessary, although the clean washing is removed to each person's room first. Each person does their own ironing as they prefer. I stopped doing it for everybody years ago. If the can cook and clean, they can iron. Linen has specified storage centrally. Each bathroom has storage for towels etc. It was designed around how we like to live, when we built.

It used to be cleaning gutters but we wisely had gutterguards installed: brilliant timesaver and no more clogged gutters as we have three enormous trees shedding leaves all year. Cleaning windows is next: when I do them I seem to pick the wrong day as it always seems to rain a few days later and next thing they're all coated n dust again.

having the bathroom next to a bedroom suggests an extra door to create a full guest "suite" which also makes the house more appealing for two singles sharing while still providing an everyday toilet accessed through the laundry...there should be no need to move the windows or toilet position although the central wall has been replaced with a stud wall with cavity sliding door off set to screen the toilet from view through the open laundry door..the bathroom includes a generous 1500 x 900 shower or shower over small tub and a 1000 wide vanity (for guest towels, linen, toilet rolls etc) and (subject to accurate window size and shape) superimposing a decorative mirror or blinds in front of the window adds privacy ...the laundry has space for a stacked washer and dryer, single drop in tub over Lshaped cabinet (about 1700 x 1100) with open space under the corner for a tall laundry basket and cat litter nook below open shelf or drawers (for laundry and cat supplies) ...there's room for two separate tall storage cabinets for vacuum and/or narrow open voids for broom and freestanding ironing board etc and the plan shows a position for either a fold down or freestanding ironing board with dotted lines showing wall cabinets or open shelves overhead hanging racks above the sink and ironing board for hanging clothes for drip drying and before and after ironing
