Special features. Slate blue furniture-style cabinets. Slate countertops. Handmade tile backsplash with cap molding. Nickel plumbing finish. Apron-front utility sink. Brass hanging rods.
Designer tip. “Elevating the washer and dryer on a cabinet base platform made the space more functional and pretty and really added thought to the way the owner does laundry,” Hendel says.
