Bye, Bye, Old Things

Our house came with a washer and dryer, ever so nice, but they are older then the ones we moved and ever so basic. I've really missed having temperature control that is separate from cycles and run times. So today, I unplugged the old giants and cleaned up the floor. In lieu of redoing the whole washroom, which is the ultimate goal, I now just need to do some rewiring with the dryer and I will have my nice little machines back. I've done my heavy lifting for today, so for tonight the basement family room will have two washers and two dryers. But once mine are connected and working, then I can find someone to haul the old machines away. And then for the first time since we moved in, I can have a basement family room without a washer and dryer. I think it will be a wonderful functional and aesthetic improvement for the room.

I've progressed on the wallpaper removal too. The breakfast nook has not been nearly as easy and pleasant at the bathroom. The walls are just a mess in there. But I have removed all the wallpaper that I can, until it is time to move the large, heavy storage unit. Now I can start with the kitchen, which may just be delightful for oh so many reasons. It is nice to see the floral hearts slowly disappearing. Next will be the circus print in the master closet. I have no idea what they were thinking.
