The new utility room had a set of enclosed shelves with a space for a small freezer.   This provided some storage but wasn't very flexible.  

We bought a small high effeciency fridge and I had to tear out the enclosed shelves to fit it in.   I decided on open wire shelves above and to the right of the fridge, this made it easy to see where and what was on the shelf.   To the right of the fridge I left a gap for hanging mops, brooms, etc. then buit a lo-boy shelf with a 16" wide top for storage.   I made two movable hanger bars for hanging mops, brooms, etc. that could be repositioned under the wire shelf.   Each hanger bar is the width of the shelf with two flat metal straps bent into a hook at the top (hook over the shelf wires) and finish nails to go through mop handles etc.   Most mops, brooms, etc have holes for hanging, others had to be drilled.   Above the lo-boy I left a 16" space for storage on top then built a small wall shelf/cabinet for more storage.

The cabinets above the washer and dryer (I didn't build these).   They may have been the original cabinets in the original utility room (now Betty's office).

We bought the above Maytag Neptune Washer Dryer in early 2003 and, in fall 2022, the dryer finally died.   The fact that the washer is still running after almost 20 years is, in my experience, terrific.

After the dryer croaked, I checked Consumer Reports and choose their top pic, an LG.   I have not had great experience with LG, but CC said it had the best durability prediction.  

The hole left when I removed the Neptune.

The LG, a monster, installed in our utility room.

Little closer look.   This thing had to have a water connection, it can apparently use steam to remove wrinkles etc.   Note the white paper on top of the LG, it is an excerpt from the user's manual, we haven't learned all the magic words (button pushes) yet.

From the other side.   It can even check the vent for clogs.   I think the problem with the Neptune dryer was caused (or exacerbated) by insuffucient venting.   Dryers need 4" vents, the one in our house was 3".   When the new utility room was added, in the garage, he vented straight up, but didn't move the roof jack, so there was a 3" flex pipe from the top of the new vent to the old roof jack.   This was a source of problem, it frequently clogged.   The time has come for a new roof on our house, so I am in the process of replacing the old 3" duct with a 4" vent system and a new 4" roof jack.

In the shop, the utility room door with the drill press and mortiser/bandsaw table pulled away from the wall.   You can see the white 3" PVC against the wall, this is behind the dryer.

The bottom of the 3" PVC pipe.   He did put a clean out plug at the bottom, but it's too close the floor, you can't get anything except, maybe a snake, up into the pipe.   The primary problem was in the attic where the flex hose ran about 9' to the old roof jack.   That flex hose was problematic since it easily clogged with lint.

A better shot of the whole vent pipe in the shop.   The 2" PVC near the ceiling is part of the 2" dust collection system.
