OK, pix attached here. You can see the sheets stacked up in one pic and the cabinets in the other. This is also where we store the cleaning buckets & vacuum. Paper goods start off in the basement and get moved to a cubby right outside the laundry room for quick access. The sink cabinet here holds the soaps & makeup removers (in the drawers). The sheets of paper taped up everywhere are 'notes to self' about what needs to be cleaned and when. (ie- which quilts, blankets & mattress pads are next in line.)
It's a 1/2 bath, toilet out of sight (actually, the tall basket is sitting on it, today is MY laundry day!)
This is a pretty good representation of the bathroom, the pix are side by side, just the way the bathroom is laid out (you can just see the vacuum to the right of the washer, to the left in the pic of the cabinets. If the light/angle were equal in both pix, you wouldn't realize it was 2 different photos.) And, yes, it IS as small as it looks!
You can see the 'spares' stored on top of the dryer and on the shelf to the left. Hope this helps picture the layout.

Wow! Thanks for posting these pictures!!! I have upright cabinets just like those in my office, except mine are really flimsy.
In comparison to you I have a disgustingly large amount of space! But I still need to figure out the best way to use it...
Do you have your sheets marked? How do you know which size they are when you take them out of the dryer, or is it pretty obvious and then you put them in the right stack when you fold them?
When you go to flip a room do you load up towels and sheets and take them with you? Do you use a laundry basket? Do you take more than one room at a time?
Inquiring minds want to know...

Kk.

These cabinets (the floor models) ARE flimsy. The shelves inside are a bit bowed from the towels and they are not very deep. (Tough to close them when all the towels are put away.)
Sheets are not marked because (brilliant innkeeper that I am) I bought different colors for different size beds. (This after having all the same brand/color sheets for 2 years and having to find my glasses to read the labels!) So, beige floral for the queen beds, pink floral for the king (matches the quilt & the wallpaper amazingly) and plain beige for the twins. I have multiple backup pillowcases. (Which are ALL in need of ironing right now.) When I fold the sheets, I put the pillowcases inside the folds so all is ready to go when I need them. (Great time-saver.)
How I flip a room (keep in mind I just do the bedroom, hubs does the bathroom)...I go to the room first to see how many beds were slept in. Strip bed, bring laundry to laundry room, get new sheets, grab dusting stuff. (All the other cleaning supplies we cart around in a 5 gal pail- any tall 5 gal pail will do. One of them is an old kitty litter pail.) Hubs returns many times to get the towels and glasses for the bathroom. He'll bring any recycle down to the kitchen with him at the same time. (BTW, the kitchen is right outside this laundry room, so it's all pretty close together.)
If we are flipping one entire floor at the same time (2 or 4 rooms) then I strip all the beds and bring all the linens up with me. Hubs does one room at a time with the towels. He likes the stair climbing exercise. (At some point one or the other of us will realize we have, again, forgotten to bring the phone with us so someone goes to get it, gets distracted and returns to cleaning without it. At which point the OTHER of us goes to get it.)
We do the rooms in essentially the same order everyday so we always end with the same room.
