Alexis Monkhouse and her 2-year-old daughter live in a tiny house on wheels in Florida. Monkhouse documents their journey on the Instagram account @thistinyjourney.
Monkhouse said that when she designed her home, she had a budget that allowed her to add luxury amenities, including a washer-dryer combination.
Today, she wishes she had opted for a separate washer and dryer. Although the combo appliance takes up less space, Monkhouse said, in her experience, the dryer function takes too long to dry her clothes.
Appliances that seem like they'll save space but don't get the job done aren't worth it in the end, she said.
