I’m not sure when my affinity for beautiful appliances (or gadgets) (but real gadgets, not *ahem* gadgets) began, but I am addicted.
The shiny newness of their rock hard exterior. The smooth, chiseled body. The gentle, yet strong motion. The sleek, empowering buttons.
I think I have to stop there. This is supposed to be a family *cough*BULLSHIT*cough* site.
One of the great things about searching for a new home is also looking for new fun gadgets appliances. I get to peruse the aisles of the home appliance stores, touching and caressing all the models; shamelessly checking them out while I secretly lust for the one across the way.
Yes, I’m a whore like that. I knowingly and publicly will flaunt it in the face of another.
Electrolux Laundry Appliances have become my drug of choice. I neeeeed them. I waaaaant them. I must haaaaveee them. Ever since she started yapping about them and their beauty I’ve been coveting them more. I’ve been known to secretly check them out during my lunch break. It’s an addiction not unlike that of a dirty old man and his online porn fetish.
Nothing against you dirty old man. I was talking about the OTHER dirty old man.
I want to rub it. Hard.
Just the thought of my laundry being completed in half the time: the clothes, clean and pristine, smelling of vanilla and lavender all warm and comforting makes me really really happy.
I’ve forewarned Mike that he will need another set to keep in the basement or the garage for the dirty and vile work clothes. They will NOT be touching my beauties. There will be no violating these machines with concrete, oil and grout. Not a chance in porno hell (that being old dingy broken machines hidden away in a dark scary concrete hole) will he be putting anything of the like in these machines.
I’ve warned him there may be cutting involved if he even so much as LOOKS at the machines with dirt on his hands.
In fact, I don’t think he will be touching them. At. All.
Not only do their laundry appliances do things to me that no man has been ever able to, (Sorry honey!) but Electrolux Kitchen Appliances? Holy crap on a cracker. I’ve never wanted to boil water cook so bad!

This is not an Electrolux sponsored post by any means. But! Should Electrolux choose to sponsor this post or any like it by way of outfitting my new home with all their appliances in lieu of payment for daily posts about their fantasticness who am I to deny Electrolux? Hear that Electrolux? I LOVE YOU like a fat kid loves cake. Kthxbai.

Sidenote: Mike had a phone conversation last night after sending out his resume yesterday. This morning he had an official interview and now has a new job! I love that in construction you can be out of work one day and less than 72 hours later you have a new job. Talk about a roller coaster ride!!
So needless to say, I’m shopping for a new pretty house to store my (hopefully going to be mine SOON) new beauties.

No matter how purty my washer and dryer is I will never really like them.
Actually it’s the folding that makes me all stabby! I wish they could invent a machine to do that.
Oh and congrats to Mike. I’ll bet that’s a load off.

While I love my big, supercapacity front loaders, I am a touch bitter that I bought them just a year before they started making them in gorgeous colours like that… I’d love them so much more if they were prettier. sigh.

Those machines are rather pwetty! So much so that after I’ve convinced the husband of my need, that I’d have to pay someone else to do my laundry for fear of my touching them breaking them!

Oh, goodness, me too! So addicted! I can’t wait for the day when I can have a front-loading washer and dryer. Certainly, the ones you have pictured are ideal….but I want stackable, too. And for the kitchen? I want reproduction retro appliances. Too bad I’m not winning the lottery anytime soon.
