When I saw the laundry pedestals on Show and Tell and Stories of a House
I felt like the lady on Napoleon Dynamite.
I showed the "husbird" and I told him I wanted a laundry pedestal,
granted I have never known him to build anything, ever, so I knew this would be a stretch. He's not what I would call a handyman. He'd rather call someone to fix things around the house, but after about a month of planning and buying tools and wood and a month of cutting and putting together
I have my 5 foot 10 inch self a bonafide laundry pedestal.
Yahoo!
I spent the weekend priming and painting it and now it is in place and I love it!
I love not having to bend over to get the laundry where I need it to be,
especially in my very pregnant state.
This is a big deal for the "husbird" and an incredibly sweet gesture for me.
Now laundry almost seems like fun, with the key word being almost.

ReplyDeleteOk, I am *swooning* over this. I so want one! Not only it is useful, it is so darn pretty! One question... how did you get the big heavy machines up on top of the stand?? :)
ReplyDeleteI want one so badly..but like yours my husband rarely picks up a tool..he would rather call someone to do it...I call my dad! :) It looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant! And much cheaper than the ones they sell with the machines. Wish I had seen this about 2 years ago when we bought ours. Great thinking!
