The showroom of Minneapolis-based Crystal Kitchen Bath includes a laundry room display that features just about every must-have item on the list, including shelving, storage, a fold-out ironing board, a spot for a dog bed, hanging rod and even a station for wrapping gifts.
Custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, slate flooring and oil rubbed bronze hardware give this utility room designed by Crystal Kitchen Bath a sophisticated, warm and welcoming feel to the family and friends who enter the home from this secondary--yet more often used--entrance.
A good portion of Crystal Kitchen Bath's clientele includes active families, and its reflective in projects like this, a back entry utility room that includes a custom wood cabinet and bench with hooks for coats and ample space for sporting equipment.
Despite its small footprint, this LEED-certified laundry room by Mary Maney of Crystal Kitchen Bath Design Build features stacked equipment and a sink that the homeowner also uses to rinse his tools after a session in the adjacent art studio. To allow more natural light into the space, a stained glass window that was repurposed for the century-old home's bathroom looks out over a stairwell that is illuminated by a skylight.
