I think this update is a lot like the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. You see, if you give a laundry room an odd cramped layout, it makes the dryer stick out from the wall (but not the washer!). And if the dryer sticks out from the wall, things fall behind it.
So the dryer needs a shelf! And if you make a shelf for the dryer, you’ll have to pull it out from the wall to install it. While the dryer is out, it’s a good time to vacuum out the duct. It’s also a good time to patch all the holes left by the former homeowners. And when you’ve come this far, you might as well paint!

After the paint is dry, you hang your shelf and realize it would be a good idea to hang some things on the wall while you have the drill and level out. You put the ironing board up on hooks a la Pinterest.
You hang the antique washboard your momma gave you.
You move the dryer back in, tidy up, and take some pictures of your completely impractical styling…
And you step back and think about how much work it takes to put up one little shelf! Whew!
Keepin’ it real. I put that shelf there for a reason, ya know! =)
