It's The Little Things

The dungeon. And the place Moose most frequently regurgitates the socks he's eaten

I have a nice house.  Sometimes, I see other, nicer houses and get the wants.  I focus on things I really don't like about my house.  Like…the pool, that currently does not have a pool boy.  Or my office, which is turning out to be too small.  I mean, yeah, I could clean it out, unload a few books, but that's a lot of work.  I would rather expand it.  Or, on fanciful days, get a new one.

But here is a room that really bugs me.  This is the laundry room.  It has no natural light, and that closed door leads to the garage.  And the trash.  So I am constantly walking through there, switching on lights, turning them off, switching them on, turning them off.  And here's another thing.  As a laundry room, there is no actual room to do anything.  The machines are there, but there is no space for anything else, not even most of my cleaning supplies. And it's the most logical place to put leashes, which means that when we come back from dog walks, sometimes, it is a mud room.

I like actual laundry rooms with room to launder.  I like mud rooms where it's okay to track in mud and dogs can shake off if they need to.  I like natural light, lots of natural light.  I am lucky that my house has it in abundance except in this one room.  I. hate. this. room.  And it has nothing to do with the laundry even!

Do you have any rooms in your house that drive you nuts?  Are you missing any rooms in your house that you wish you had and don't?  Do you have too many of one kind of room (like maybe two living areas when all the living is done in one area?)
