The Simplest solution

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the ones you never think of.  

We remodeled our laundry room 4 years ago, and for those 4 years this drying rack has been the bane of my existence.  I don’t mind when it’s in use and taking up the space in the room.  But when it’s not in use there is nowhere to store it…or so I thought!  Fast forward 4 years and it finally hit me!  It fits perfectly in between the washer and the dryer.  Slides in and out super easily so I can take it out when I do laundry and place it back when I’m finished.  

It's the perfect fit!

You can see everywhere this rack used to get placed only to be moved around when we needed to access a cabinet or counter or the dryer.  

Inconveniently placed in front of cabinets

Out of the way of some cabinets but blocking others

This spot is no better, blocking the dryer door from opening

As an organizer, I know there are wall mounted racks that fold up when not in use so it's always out of the way.  But I refuse to spend the money on something I already own, plus in the 2 spots i could hang that it would be in the way if i needed to access a cabinet while the rack is being used.  So it would not be worth it in my opinion.  

The moral of the story is that sometimes we think too hard about something simple, making it more complicated than it actually is.
