Laundry Room Cabinets

Here's some cabinets I made for Jennifer in Belmont to utilize the wasted space over her front loading washer and dryer.  They have become a very popular item for other homeowners that I work for.

When she bought the house it came with a single wire shelf over the washer and dryer, but the washer and dryer were so big that she couldn't reach the shelf!  This forced her to keep all of her laundry products on top of the washer and dryer.  It was a very messy situation and things kept falling behind or down the side of the units.

These cabinets, built only 6 inches back from the front of the washer and dryer, and only about six inches above, make a great place for her to store detergent, softener, and dryer sheets, as well as plenty of other stuff.  The cabinets are three and a half feet tall to maximize the usable vertical storage space.  Though she needs a small step ladder to reach the upper shelves inside the cabinets (each unit has two adjustable shelves), she can store things in them that she doesn't use frequently, like the turkey pan she might use only around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The cabinets are made of finish grade 3/4 inch birch plywood with doors that I ordered from one of the cabinet door companies I use.  I painted the cabinets and doors for her myself.
