Has anyone had trouble with their front-loading washer? All of these laundry rooms are gorgeous-- - But do you end up spending alot of money repairing these front loaders? Trying to decide if I should buy front loaders? Lots of bad reviews on consumer reports!

we only use Miele and only recommend Miele...no problems. They have stainless interiors so no bleach, dryer sheets, bouncy calls, etc. You won;t need them; everything comes outr soft. Also excellent for allergies as they have a sensitive cycle. We use Persil Sensitiv detergent and it takes very little. We have used Miele for 20 years..washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, and mangles. They cost more but you won;t be replacing them!

Hi Jobie! I'm coming to the party late (I just found the discussion). My husband and I bought the front load steam washer and dryer (Whirlpool). I had to get used to the longer cycles. I DO love the "sanitize" cycle on my washer. But now for the disadvantages. This is my experience: My clothes come out of the washer tangled (long sleeves and pants) tangle on other washed items. Also, the thing I hate most is that my clothes come out "hard". I cannot get them soft. I have used softener in the washer. I have used baking soda, white vinegar, two to four dryer sheets at once, even tried the dryer balls in the dryer. It doesn't matter....my clothes come out "hard". Perhaps, I should have bought the Miele -- had I known about these problems, I would have! Just hoping someone else can profit from my mistakes.....

I think it's actually called "blue grass" if you follow the link or look on the Ben Moore website. What a great laundry room color!

Yes, it is Blue grass...I mistyped.:) But, the CC means it is a Canadian color. The American Benjamin Moore color is Turquoise Mist classic color 695.

Just received my Dash and Albert Caravan striped rug ( the stripe that looks yellow in the pic is actually a muted tan), and getting ready to go purchase a sample can of the turquoise mist....so EXCITED!!!!:)

I wish the laundry room on houzz was reflective of the whole house style....but I am sad to report it is not. I think it was the 2007 Princess Margaret house....the rest of the house is VERY different from the laundry room.

Assume door is 36" and window is 24"= 6' wide. washer and dryer are each 30", so room is at least 8' long. hope that helps. I would add a foot to the width, if I had the room.

They look like they could be Cararra marble, or solid surface like Caesarstone or Silestone

I did my laundry similar to this one - My husband put the vent in the bottom part of one of the cabinets. I didn't have as much space so we got the stacking washer & dryer full size by Samsung and put them at the end of the wall. We also used a four foot open door way and at the end is a window. I loved the way it turned out
