Updating The Laundry Nook With Bamboo Blinds

Here is that washer & dryer update that you’ve all been asking for. Yesterday our fab front loading washer & dryer (which ended up being floor models due to Lowe’s SELLING THE ONES WE ALREADY PURCHASED!) arrived in near ideal condition. In fact, the dryer is flawless and the washer has only a compact scratch on the top that you’d need a magnifying glass to locate. So all in all, we are in fact thrilled that Lowe’s messed up and sold our new models since the floor models are simply as pleasant (and ended up saving us another 150 bucks, bringing our total discount on the washer and dryer to $500- remarkable!). In fact, they told us we ended up getting them both below cost- so the store did not make a dime off of the sale.

But we did not stop there. Do not you know me at all? We visited our go-to home improvement store last night to talk with a manager about getting a free four year warranty on both items (valued at $250). See, our argument was that we did not ask for the floor models but ended up with them due to Lowe’s error, and we did not want something to go wrong with them from all the wear and tear they endured while on display. We figured they might meet us in the middle and offer a warranty on simply one appliance or offer to pay 50%, but we never thought they’d in fact go along with us fully but we waltzed out of there with the full 4 year warranty on both items for a mere $13 (the computer would not let them give it away for free, but the manager somehow got it down to simply over ten bucks for us). Now that is one heck of a deal. Point: Lowe’s.

And – here is swift before (well, amidst demo) and after shot of our laundry nook. A fresh coat of paint and some bamboo blinds and we are back in business! Next we simply need to cover some of those ugly plugs on the back wall.
