Our new washer and dryer arrived, and Chris was kind enough to get them set up AND sell the old ones on craigslist while I was out of town over the weekend. So, I drove home today anticipating the maiden load of laundry. And it was wonderful.
While it was running we got out some paint leftover from painting the master bedroom, and gave the little room a big facelift. I like to think of the color as "serene green," with the hope that it will make doing laundry a more relaxing experience in the future. We shall see.
So, here's our old set, which we purchased for $125 on craigslist right after moving into the house. It worked well but was small for our needs, and was beginning to have some a few issues running well.
So we sold them for $100 (not bad after two years). It was wonderful to come home and just have them gone. Then, we attacked the walls with green.
We were really happy with how everything looked once we got it all put back together.
Next, we plan to build in some storage and a drying rack next to the machines, where I'm standing in the photo. And then later on we'll probably change the lighting, and way down the line we're going to redo all the basement floors. It's going to be amazing.
But for now, I love the new machines, which hold about twice the amount of laundry per load as the old ones, run in about half the time and finish everything off wrinkle free. It will make a huge difference in the ease of daily life.
looks awesome!!
