Washer and Dryer

I am extremely excited about the laundry room!  It is looking great.  Our first big purchase for the house was a new washer and dryer (YAY...haha).  We purchased them at Lowes.  They were the last in stock and Drake was able to talk them down on price because of a small dent in the back that you can barely see.

We decided against the pedestals because Drake saw on thisyounghouse (my new favorite blog) they used the top as a place to fold clothes.  Since I am a little short, if we put pedestals on the bottom I wouldn't be able to reach :) So Drake bought a piece of MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and cut it so it would fit the top and go against the wall.  After we went to Michael's and bought a piece of fabric to cover the MDF.

I know it has the sage green color but I thought since the laundry room flows into the kitchen, it would look better.  I am trying to stay away from sage green since I seem to be using it a lot.  It does have a little white design on it.
