Default My Christmas present

My present was 5 1/2 weeks in the making. I knew what I was getting.
Because I had to pick the set out. I got a new front loader washer and the matching dryer.
Being 5' 4" I couldn't reach the bottom of the tub on the old washer. I had to stand on my tippy toes
or use a grabber thing........lol

And after the new set was delivered my husband totally redid my laundry room too.

And here are the results...........

I now have a drawer for my laundry supplies. My cute new hamper has it's own spot.
Since my cabinets had to be relocated to the garage, I got new shelves....yay!!
I can move some of the lesser used small kitchen appliances onto the shelves
to have more room in my cabinets.
And best of all.......Kola has a bit of privacy now when she is doing her business.

I love my new washer and dryer......
they sing when the cycle is done.
The dryer has light in the drum, in case I want to load and unload it in the dark..lol
And it's big enough to wash and dry the quilts and blankets in!!

Wow...Looks really nice....I'm jealous! My next house will have laundry on the main floor! I have the old laundry room in the basement, and my washer/dryer don't match, and I have to use a magnet to hold my dryer door shut, and my washer dances around...did I mention I'm jealous???!!

ME TOO!! In this old cottage I live in, the washer is in the kitchen beside the refrigerator and the unmatched dryer in on the back screened porch. It's cold out there at this time of year!

Very nice set up! I don't have matching units either but that's ok. What I DO love is that my washer & dryer are on the 2nd floor of the house with the bedrooms; bathroom; sewing room so no running up/down stairs with loads of laundry all the time!

Our laundry shed is in the carport. It also houses the hot water heater. Atleast the carport is covered. Doesn't take me long to get the laundry done. If anything sits in the dryer (like when I'm gone)and cools off. I have to turn it on again for a short time or get the iron hooked up. I'm not pressing shirts anymore than I absolutely have to. My appliances don't match and I also have to use a grabber or small step stool. I'm only 5'1", so I'm nearly upside down with the bigger top loader. Guess I didn't say I'm jealous but I am.

I'm jealous of this! I don't worry about "matching". Since I've developed major arthritis problems and had both hip joints replaced, that running up and down the stairs is no fun. I would love my laundry room on the main floor, but it won't happen anytime soon. Fortunately, my husband has taken over the "up and down", although I sort, fold, hang, etc.
