Another before/after from me.......this time it's the laundry!
Comments (36)Re comment by @wuff...yes! My laundry tub was always full of dust and stuff I'd forgotten about and is now covered up by a timber insert which is a strong shelf/table for the dryer. So, the tub is being used, just not in the way originally intended! For any hand washing, I use a large plastic bucket which also doubles as a clothes basket I use to carry washing to the line. I think it's great that all these opinions can be expressed on Houzz as I find the comments as entertaining and useful as the Houzz articles....See MoreNew Home Layout Design Advice
Comments (7)Hi Mark, For the laundry I would centre the external door on the external wall, then relocate the broom cupboard into the corner behind the new door swing (where the external door currently is). This would allow an "L" shaped bench running around from the internal door opening, around the corner and finishing adjacent to the external wall. This arrangement would provide more benchspace and you would have only one dead corner which would be benchspace - so still useful. For the WIR I would pinch 400mm of space from bedroom 1, making the WIR 400mm wider. Relocate the door to the end wall of the WIR, adjacent to the bedroom entry door, which should be swung the other way. This would allow two parrallel hanging spaces opposite each other, with a wall mirror at the end, reduce your WIR corners to zero, and substantially increase your hanging space which would be more accesssible. You haven't provided the length of the master bedroom, so you may have to sacrifice the daybed and joinery in the corner to make this work, but for most people adequate hanging space has a higher priority than a daybed, which tends to collect clothes anyway!

Comments (12)I have a Meile heat pump condenser dryer, it is really efficient to run and I have no moisture in the air and only a very small amount of heat. I chose one with a drainage tube so I never need to empty the liquid out. This is great. I wish they had self cleaning filters though. There are 3 to clean. 2 after each use and 1 about once a month. I use my dryer every day....See MoreHow can I make this space look nice and tidy?
Comments (37)You could try Wet & Forget on the driveway. You can buy it ready to use and attach it to a hose or buy a bottle that you dilute to use in a sprayer. I have used it and it works - slower than water blasting but it won’t damage driveway if it has some damage? I can’t quite tell from photo if that’s grass clippings/mulch or broken concrete on driveway? If you use it be careful not to spray garden bed. I live in FNQ and we planted seaside daisy - doesn’t need watering but it also won’t die from our wet season. It’s a ground over and spreads out beautifully in a courtyard area that’s get a lot of sun. Just needs a trim from time to time. I see you have Rio (purple green ground cover) which you could separate and plant down the path but it does like water. Maybe for the fence you could try attaching lattice to it and plant another passion fruit vine to help cover the whole fence. It does look like you need to get rid of some woody parts of the passion fruit. It’s a tough plant and will enjoy a bit of pruning. We had one that I thought had died last year and it has returned with no help from me. Be careful with the heliconias and gingers ... they can get out of control if you don’t stay on top of them. Anything tall will cover your fence but it will also cover the passionfruit vine which obviously loves the spot it’s in. Good luck!...See MoreAli
