October 21, 2015 Pamela Ogborn

A laundry room should have the perfect balance between form and function.

Sure, it's got to have great everyday essentials, like storage and state-of-the-art appliances. But it should also have a great aesthetic--- to make you feel as though the hours spent doing the most thankless job in the world are at least pleasant.

It used to be the mansions and estates that turned my head as I drove along the picturesque neighborhoods of Chicago's North Shore.
