Ellie is our girl. Ellie is a fluffy girl. Ellie is a white fluffy girl. Ellie is a white fluffy girl with dirty paws especially in the Spring and Fall. With combination of wipes at every entrance, towels, and bucket washes, we decided that there is a better way. Also, looking into the future, with a baby on the way, we were not enthused about the dirty paw prints all over the floor where the baby would be crawling around. So we decided to reno the reno’ed mud room. 4 years ago, when we did the big new house renovations, we did simple renovations in the mudroom. Basically just added new cabinets and a pantry, with a countertop and a sink. Nothing mind blowing really. But now as our needs have changed, we made the call to redo this room with a design that will allow us to have a doggie wash station in it.
We debated over the configuration multiple times. But finally figured out the only to fit a doggie wash station was to vertically stack the washer and dryer. There was no other way to fit it. I was a bit hesitant as it will be pretty tall, and i won’t be able to reach the top of the dials on the dryer! (My husband says he will get me a stool).
So off to Olympia tile again to pick out the shower tiles for our Ellie girl. We wanted to make it eye catching but nothing too out there. We chose a pretty herringbone subway tile, and a dark grey for the shower floor. Hand held faucet sprout and a ring to tie the leash to.
