Gorgeous, high end job! That would certainly save my back too... :) -
Very nice! I had my BIL do the same for me...not painted yet tho and no drawer...;-( Yours is waaaaay prettier! -
Amazing what some paint will do, Victoria. You'll see. :) Thank you! -
That is so clever and it looks lovely! -
thanks for sharing. -
I was shocked when I bought my new washer. Then I found out it needed a pedestal - they don't tell you that ahead of time. I wish I had seen your posting before buying the pedestal. Brilliant idea. -
You two are to be commended! Not only did you save money, but you've a much better looking space at the same time. -
Thank you! I had fully intended on buying the pedestals with the purchase of the w/d UNTIL I realized how expensive they are. Goodness!
-
Nice alternative to buying them! -
Just a Girl, I bought mine on the internet and had it delivered & then found out I needed to have the pedestal because it was 3/4 the height of my previous washer.

These look great! We've made drawers in a couple things so far and they are awesome! -
Thank you, Crystal! Not gonna lie--the drawers were a lot of work, but I'm so glad we opted to do them. :)

You might also find it handy to make those low drawers also work as step stools if you have a wall cabinet or shelf above the washer and dryer that aren't easy to reach. Here is one I made in a vanity toe kick: -

Great idea...I think we'll do this minus the drawers...thanks for the pictures! -
If drawers seem daunting, you can make the pedestal with open cubbies and add baskets for extra laundry supplies, etc. You could also keep a small step stool in there. ;)

Wow! I tried to explain this to my hubby ONE week ago, but he couldnt "picture" it....I kept telling him , "just build a shelf thats strong enough to hold my w/d and tall enough to stick baskets under for storage!"...I Wish I had seen all this and I would have SAVED $500.00! ...wonder if I can return them............... :( -
Love this idea, I think I would like to build it only use laundry baskets in place of drawers, because my laundry area is so small already.
