Default Lilac- Storage Room Help

Need some help here Please!

We have a new Lilac and in from the Garage entrance, Across from the Washer and Dryer is a pretty large empty storage room. Ielected to not put a bathroom there as it is a nice large space.

Has anyone in TV found some cool ideas as what to so with that space. I was figuring on a real nice Pantry for Ruth with maybe some counter space There is a window on one side.

Any ideas and better yet contractors that helped design and build it?

Appreciate your feedback or pics or drawings.

I have seen a number of people put built-in cabinets/desk and shelving there. Makes it a small office or computer room

I have an idea! (no jokes please)

Have a table built in so she has a place to fold clothes and can use as a sewing table! Keep the machine below the table until needed.

I think most of the ladies need the sewing machine to make their curtains and valences etc. Most of us have no nice place to do this!

You could also build some shelves above it for storage!

*slapping hands together* NEXT!

I would probably use it to put our small upright freezer, put a small "catch all" desk to put keys, mail etc and then hand some hooks for jackets.

Angie, I totally lost all respect for you. You sew??? Well...if that's the case, I cook! Horrors!

I have that same area........as I think the Lily and Iris have the same floor plan......and I am thinking of putting a couple of double ovens out there...maybe 3 or 4.

Okay....seriously, I had a guy come last week and I told him I'd like some high countertops out there...and cabinets for storage as well. He is going to give me a quote on enclosing the lanai and adding countops and cabinets in that laundry room area.
