Laundry Room can be a Happy Place

If you’re like most people you try to get out of the space you keep your washer and dryer in as quickly as possible as you wrap up your crucial but tedious laundry duties.

But with a little TLC you can reframe it into a place that invites you in, if not one you actively seek out.

Your dedicated space for your laundry machines may be a small room or multipurposed as a mudroom, hallway or even a kitchen. But it can always be more than it is by adding in a little bit of style, along with the functionality it needs.

Signage

Cute, retro signs telling everyone that this is a laundry room is always an option, but if you’re not so interested in being reminded of what you’re doing there you can always stick to more functional graphics and labels on jars and shelves and flippable signs reminding everyone what’s dirty and clean.

You can frame aesthetically pleasing signs explaining the “universal” laundry care labels not everyone understands or even decals for the washer and dryer, if they’re similar enough where they would work.

Look up

When you’re working with a small footprint scaling the walls with shelves and cabinets can make it much easier to organize detergents, stain sticks, fabric softeners and other cleaning supplies.

Installing a set of drawers can make it much easier to sort and fold clothes and can even be a place to store towels and other linens. Bars and pegs can be used to hang up clothes and string up a clothesline.

The right pattern on one or more walls can bring a fun vibe to what is often a dreary workspace.

Give ‘em a boost

If your back complains when you’re unloading or loading the washer or dryer, especially if they’re both front-loading models, putting them on a pedestal can be a smart idea. Most manufacturers sell these for their models; many incorporate drawers into their design.

A custom-built platform can be more attractive and tailored to your taste and the existing design.

LOCAL NEWS: The Northern Arizona VA in Prescott has provided an update on their Homeless Veteran Program. . . .PRESCOTT, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona VA Health Care System’s Homeless Veteran Program, along with its community partners, housed 445 Veterans in 2022, exceeding their target goal by 157%.Nationally, the 2022 goal was to house 38,000 homeless Veterans— a goal that was exceeded by 6.3%. The Department of Veterans Affairs remains committed to ending Veteran homelessness and increasing housing placements is critical to achieving this goal.“This success is a result of efforts built on the evidence-based ‘Housing First’ approach, which prioritizes getting a Veteran into housing, then provides the Veteran with the support they need to stay housed,” said Steve Sample, Medical Center Director.In Northern Arizona, there are a variety of services designed to house homeless Veterans. The VA’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Program includes VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers that provide formerly homeless Veterans with subsidized housing and a wraparound, interdisciplinary case management team to address issues that may have contributed to homelessness. The program provides justice outreach services, employment services, health care services through the Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team, outreach, and transitional housing support. The VA also works closely with community partners to house homeless Veterans through a system called Coordinated Entry, where community agencies along with the VA regularly meet to coordinate efforts and ensure homeless Veterans do not fall through the cracks.“We are fortunate that there is so much support for helping homeless Veterans in our area,” said Jessica Taylor, Homeless Program Coordinator for the Northern Arizona VA. “This success could not have been possible without great collaboration between our community partners, Housing Authorities, Tribal partnerships, and support from our local communities.”Looking ahead, the VA will continue to explore new avenues to house homeless Veterans and overcome housing barriers. In collaboration with U.S VETS, Gorman & Company, and the Arizona Department of Housing, a supportive housing project on the grounds of the VA’s Fort Whipple campus is in the initial planning stages. The VA is also expanding outreach to ensure that homeless Veterans are aware of services available to them. For Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness— or if you know of homeless Veterans in need of assistance, call 877-424-3838.For more information on renting to or hiring homeless Veterans, visit: www.va.gov/homelessAbout the Northern Arizona VA: Through its main campus in Prescott, along with Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Cottonwood, Flagstaff, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Anthem— with additional clinics in Tuba City, Page, Kayenta, Chinle, Holbrook, and Polacca, the Northern Arizona VA provides services to approximately 33,000 Veterans over a catchment area of more than 65,000 square miles.. . .www.facebook.com/VAPrescott ...
