I too, have a washer and dryer in my kitchen.
I think matching, made to size, cutting boards would conceal the tops and make it more functional. With two tops you can just move one on top of the other while your washing.
A nice tailored or gathered skirt can do for the set what skirts have been doing for bathroom and kitchen sinks through- out the ages. I've seen wood skirts too but I'm not that industrious. Thats my take on appearances, for the very real concern about sanitary processing of laundry in the kitchen:
Dont sort or store dirty laundry in the kitchen
Washing everyday as opposed to laundry day will lessen the laundromat-ish takeover of your kitchen
Finally, and probably the only thing I should have posted is a capful of bleach in a quart of water will sanitize any surface coming in contact with laundry. I believe it actually takes less but I like to smell it a little.

I was going to say freakin' about the piano too. Love the library and would love to see more details later. Thumbs up even though its too late.

Ah, I could definitely live like this.

Thats a VERY nice sprayer.

This is the first time I have EVER liked the use of empty frames, also one of the most creative wall treatments. Kind of like one of my dreams where everything looks right, (but the background is alive,moving and changing.)
Looks like a room where something happened just before you walked in, but .......hmm?
I dont think I could live in a room this dark, but I love it anyway.

when I saw that long corridor I immediately thought of a long line. How about a mural of people standing in line (maybe obviously waiting to go to the bathroom). LOL Wherever the line goes- it'll be fun because you get to cut to the front of it.

The large project table- I enjoyed seeing one of the options I'd considered in action.

Kitchen-I now know where I am going to stash my dishdrainer and dishes- Yes.

What I like about this tour is that it looks like a home and though it might be, it doesn't look temporary.

I am curious Allie; in such a small and full home, how much time do you actually spend there? (considering microsizing)

I once put down a deposit on an apartment that had "[so and so] is the landlord from hell" painted on the closet door.While waiting for the apartment to be "redone" I learned that the landlord had recently been arrested for hiring someone to kill his soon to be exwife. All this was unsettleing but the deal breaker was that they had cut and patched the new carpet allover to save money. That was 15years or so ago and now after having 11 people over every day for a week in my one bedroom - no bathroom exhaust is definitely a dealbreaker. I have tile countertops and while they are cute they dont seem sanitary to me.

My only recollection of fig eating involved slicing dried figs and inserting a little log of almond paste. The result was very sweet, too sweet. Ive not tried them since. I think cheese with them would have been better. I've never understood why we take something really sweet and add more sweet--like sweet potatoes haha.

I've been seeing what looks like a wall mirror and actually opens to hold jewelry, I cant remember where though. They were very nice and simple. definitely not grammas
