The day arrived.

Preparations were made.

.

.

And a fond farewell was bid to our loyal 13 year old washer and dryer.

.

.

Our laundry room is small (it used to be a spare half bath) so I was a little worried the delivery men would have a hard time maneuvering the heavy appliances in and out. Lord knows my husband and I did.

.

.

But before I could even blink they had the old ones unhooked and out the door. Granted they didn’t have far to go, but the way they did it with these amazing moving straps that wrap around their backs, over their shoulders and under the machines?

.

.

Fabulous!

And now I totally want a pair.

.

.

Viola!

While the drums are slightly larger than our old set, the machines themselves are actually a bit smaller so …. weee! I have a few extra inches of floor space to play with.

I was a little hesitant to go with the charcoal grey as we’ve always had white, but it looks more like black which blends nicely with our stove and fridge.

Before…

.

.

After.

.

.

These things were literally twice the price of our old ones so my fingers are crossed they have a long sudsy life.
