Alas, our Maytag Neptune washer took it's last breath a couple of months ago. It was only 8 years old, but I guess that's past the age of being repair-worthy. I have a love/hate thing with having to buy new appliances. I love finding a great new appliance that makes life easier and does what it's supposed to do. But I hate researching and finding that nothing is perfect (remember my search for the perfect stroller?).After a couple of weeks, we decided on the set from LG. We went for 3 weeks without a washer and thank goodness Lil and Anson graciously let us use their washer. I think they were shocked that I had at least 1 load every day. I think they do laundry once a week.
So with the new W/D set, we also decided to paint the laundry room. My first try at the color turned out to be too pastel. John said it looked like we had painted it with toothpaste. The final color is a darker shade of blue-green.
We tried stacking them, but it blocked the light. So we ended up putting them side-by-side again. But doing that, the detergent drawer couldn't open. So John's genius idea was to cut the door jamb, which saved the day.
The final part to complete the room will be when the shelving at The Container Store goes on sale in September.
