New Things Around the House ... Some Much More "Fun" Than Others!

New Garage Doors - "Not" Super-Fun

While new garage doors are not the funnest things to spend our hard earned money on ... it sure is nice to have them open as they should EVERY time!  How did we ever live without them!!!




New Toaster - Really Needed & Kinda Fun

I know some of you are thinking ... she blogged about a new toaster?  You have NO idea how GREAT this is.  We have never really had a toaster that has really worked or that we have liked since we got married.  Our old one (Yucky Toaster #1) broke and I was too cheap to get a good one so we then had Yucky Toaster #2.  Well ... Kohl's had a great sale, we had coupons on top of that and we got the "KIND" toaster.  EVERYTHING fits in it and it toasts beautifully!!!


New Washer/Dryer & Freshly Painted
Laundry Room - Really Fun!!

The washer we had for about 18 years finally died and we decided to get brand new ones!  Can I tell you how far they have come in technology with washer/dryers in 18 years?  The things practically fold and put away too!

Here are some before and after shots! 
  
 Ready to be washed!!

New Bedroom Furniture - Most Fun of All!!!

Kraig and I have NEVER had new furniture for our room!  Our room has always been a "one of these" days kind of thing.  Something or someone else always got the money that would go towards that.  Well ... we splurged and it got delivered on Thursday.  Of course it would have been nice if a painter/designed would of been delivered at the same time.  Still need paint, a comforter, curtains/shades, pillows, pictures, etc.  But it is a start and I am sooooo happy!!!! (Just stuck a quilt we had on there but we did buy new lamps too!)
  

I'm sure that that this will be our next "FUN" purchase in a year or so ..........

Hallelujah, a new toaster! Now when we come we don't have to shove a wooden spoon in the handle so our bread will toast! Those were good times.
I haven't seen any pictures of your vinyl lettering in the laundry room - it looks really cute.
WOW! The bedroom set looks awesome! I can't wait until you paint and get some pictures up. A cool piece of art would be neat above that chest of drawers that is by Kraig's side. Those lamps look cute.

Wow! Kraig must be doing well! Everything looks great - Love the new bedroom set! I wish I could get a new w/d that are at least the same color. I never hear from my dear lost friend anymore; now I know why? She is too busy redoing her house.
