Great idea! We tried making the laundry room more fun, putting in a buffet table, some comfortable chairs, games, books, magazines, and vending machines. All of our things were stolen, and residents now use the space to dump their heavy junk that they don't want to pay to take to the dump. Right now there is a broken big screen TV lying on the floor. This happens about twice a week and is extremely difficult for me to get up the stairs and out to the dump. All that is left is the vending machine. :(
