Our first house in the laundry room, had the built in ironing board....I have NO clue why we didn't do that w/ this house...our "next" house will have that in the mastercloset.

We have a laundry chute because we have three floors, but my DH wouldn't put in one of those little service elevators! HA! - I seriously wanted one...can you imagine carrying up a basket of laundry up two flights of stairs??!! Whew!

I never thought of the rope lights under the kitchen cabinets...I loved them under the bathroom cabinets...that is another good idea (and you have cabinet lights as well)??

We have wood floors throughout our house, expect for the bottom floor and it is painted concrete. I am not a carpet fan, but our wood floor has to be swept EVERY DAY - especially w/ all the big dogs in and out all the time (and my husband)!

We have tried several floor vacuums for the wood, but not the Shark - we have the handheld shark....what kind do you use? We just bought the Swiffer floor vac - is vacuums and then it has the dry pad behind it to pick up anything that is left......it works good. - always looking for something that works better though!

Another idea....we are doing the "bull nose" corners on our drywall - instead of the sharp corners (that get knicks and chips). I like those smooth rounded corners soooo much better!!!

One more............A SINGLE STORY HOUSE!!! I do not think we will ever do stairs again!!!! (ha)!
