SOURCE LIST

 

The trim and cabinet have been painted Whale Gray by Benjamin Moore. We’re waiting on new cabinet door hardware, faucet and rug.

As for the LG SideKick, it’s quickly become an integral member of the laundry. My youngest is potty-training right now, so you know what that means: lots of laundry going on. And it helps separate those loads from the rest of our laundry, if you catch my drift 😉

And instead of feeling wasteful and doing a whole full-sized load in the washer every time we run out of undies. I can do smaller sized loads for toddler-sized clothing…any time I need to! It’s SO useful to help do those smaller loads without having to wait for laundry to pile up.

I also like to use it to wash my undergarments. I used to put them all in a netted bag with a regular wash load and hoped for the best. Now I can do a whole separate (and smaller sized) load of delicates. I don’t have to worry about pilling and running like I used to when tossing it in with a regular load. Awesome right?

The LG SideKick washer offers six different wash cycles with different motions, temps, rinse and speeds that really help you pick a cycle that’s exactly what you need. Who knew they could pack some much into such a little package. I think it’s pretty mind blowing when you think about the size of the unit and all it offers.

And for more excitement, you can enter to win an LG SideKick of your own by using the Rafflecopter widget below. Or if you can’t wait, LG is running a promotion where you can purchase an LG front-load washer and LG SideKick starting at $999 until July 13th. The LG SideKick is compatible with any LG front-load washer from 2009.

    The idea of being able to wash small loads is so appealing for many reasons. Genius idea!

  4. Kelly keitzer says

    We just bOught a bew house and have no washer or Dryer! This would definitely help!

  5. Kim G. says

    I have a big family(6 boys including my husband) so washers don’t last long in my home. I could use a new, EFFICIENT washer.

  6. Martina says

    We just bought our first house and majorly need appliance upgrades. I’d love to be able to do small loads of delicates separately from my husband’s giant pants… this is great!

  8. carol clark says

    i like all the features i mean that is why i want one a big family with so much needs age ranging from 18 to 10 to 39 alot needs to be washed in different modes and all the delicates that need washing all alone this can do it i love it

  9. jerry wahrmund says

    the way i can wash small loads and all the modes i can wash in is why i want one

  10. Ashleigh says

    Looks fantastic! And the sidekick Sounds pretty dreamy especially to this mama of soon to be 5 kiddos! Keep up the good work!

  11. Lauren R. says

    Thanks for the giveaway and Letting us know it works for potty training cleaning!

  12. Michelle B. says

    I would LOVE the LG sidekick mostly because there are many times where I only need a few things washed and don’t have enough to make a whole load of laundry. I have tons of sports bras, gym clothes, swimsuits, etc that need to be washed ASAP that can’t wait till a full load is ready because they will have the funk pretty soon. I need an LG sidekick!

  13. kyle B. says

    We need one of these LG sidekicks! I don’t know how many times we just needed to wash one or two things, not a whole load. Dog leashes, workout clothes, military uniforms…. All of these things that we need washed ASAP but don’t have enough for a full load.

  14. Danielle says

    We love our LG washer & dryer and since first reading about the sidekick a few weeks back I am straight-up obsessed. I showed one to my husband last week at costco and i think he’s on board, too! our lg washer handles delicates and hand-washables well but i always feel like i’m wasting water in the big washer…i can’t wait to try one of these!

  23. RAcheL says

    We could definitely use a new washer! Our little One is abOut to head in to potty trAining as well! Love the updates…you may have inspired me to start on my OwN. 🙂

  27. Nataly Carbonell says

    I’d love to own an LG washer because I need a new washer and and a new LG one will make my laundry experience a lot more enjoyable!

  28. JEEWON LEE says

    This wILL BE AN AMAZING WAY TO FACE THE OVERFLOWING LAUNDRY BASKET THAT IS ALWAYS STARING AT ME 🙂

  29. Stacey Roberson says

    I think this is amazing and a wonderful concept from LG. Between 3 kids and a husband, I am constantly doing laundry. The Sidekick would make doing laundry a little easier, and faster.

  30. C says

    We’re buying a new house and the idea of having one of these in our FIRST (forever?) home is so exciting!

  31. Meghan says

    The Sidekick looks amazing! So flexible and useful! Love your re-vamped laundry room!

  32. Christina says

    I am a single mother of 3. The home im renting doesnt have a washer or dryer. Having an Lg washer and dryer would allow me more time to spend with my children on the weekends rather Than being at the LAUNDROMAT for hours.

  33. Kelly says

    i would love to win a washer/dryer because mine are terrrrrrrrible! They are ruining our clothes!

  34. Katie says

    I would love to win one because it would be helpful to do smaller loads. I have to wait for white load of laundry for two weeks before I get a full load so if i can do a smaller one i can do it weekly.

  35. susan says

    I need to win! 🙂 As a teacher of children with special needs, my time is just not my own during school season-having a sidekick would let me do a quick wash of delicate/underwear/socks what have you, instead of a regular load -giving me more time to look on pinterest for interesting autism/sped apps and games for my students!

  37. Jen bernhardt says

    Just bought an lg front load washer and dryer yesterday!! Would love a sidekick to go wiTh It!!!

  39. Lee says

    There are so many times when we have small loads, the sidekick would be a real time and energy saver.

  40. Tim Cross says

    Being able to run a small load is something that I would love instead of having to run s full load in my washer

  41. Paula says

    didn’t know about the sidekick before i read your post – it is going on my ‘very strongly considering’ purchase list!

  42. kate burton says

    The second bin is awesome. Would be great for things that get lost likes socks and intimates

  43. Nora Vassar says

    Because sometimes you just want to clean your favorite pair of PJs and you don’t have enough for a full load or whites!~

  44. Linda says

    Just bought an lg! Would love tonhave the sidekick too! We will starting potting training soon tOo?

  45. Jill Jones says

    I’m in the process of updating my laundry room, too! I have not seen the Sidekick before your post. What a clever machine as an adjunct to a full sized washer. I have a Lg washer and dryer and love them. they operate like a dream and are very energy/water efficient. Great give-away, reichel. thanks 🙂

  47. Melissa N. says

    Looks so nice! I need a new washer. This one lookS Really Great. I wouldnt Even mind doing laundry…lol.

  48. Robin Christensen says

    Weve had the same washer/dryer for about 20 years – it’s time for a new washer!

  50. jessica miller says

    i dont have a washer and would love this one. I love that it has 6 wash cycles!

  51. Liz W. says

    I would LOVE the small load feature! I am constantly realizing I’ve forgotten a few socks. undies or dish towels and wishing I could stop a load-in-progress!

  58. Jennifer Townsend says

    Yes for gray Cabinets! Cant wait to see watch a difference changing that faucet makes. Im notorious for making poor decisions on the order of my laundry loads. Sidekick is looking like a sanity saver.

  59. anna nuttall says

    This look LIKE a really nice laundry room. My parents recently updated their laundry room and it look super clean and new now – before it was really really old. xx

  60. Julie says

    It’s coming along nicely & the Sidekick is such a great solution to those small loads of laundry.

  61. Annis says

    my dear I am not liking your new blog layout since you added The click to read further button which is really pushing me away from visiting anylonger 🙁 ( takes forever in a day to catch up having to continually go back and click to read more) loved how it used to be hun.

    • Reichel says

      Hi Annis-

      I’m sorry the “read more” function isn’t working for you. My daily finds and room redo posts don’t have that enabled. It helps with the longer posts so that people don’t have to load all of the pictures or scroll through a long post if they’re not interested. Thanks for the feedback though, I appreciate it.

      Cheers,
      Reichel

  62. JacLyn says

    This would be perfect for our master closet. We plumbed it for a stackable Washer and dryer But this is Even better.

  63. Samantha says

    We just bought a new home and have been researching washer and dryers and i am so in love with the idea of the sidekick! love the look of the new laundry room thus far!

  64. Danyelle H says

    WE’re expecting our first child in a couple of months so I know our laundry loads are going to become more frequent. I love the idea of the sidekick. so brilliant

    and your laundry room looks amazing. LOVE the grey CABINETS!

    • Reichel says

      Thanks Danyelle! The sidekick would be perfect for those baby clothes! Congratulations! 🙂

  65. Julie Murphy says

    I would like to win for a friend who is battling with unknown health problems. her washer went out do to electrical issues. She sure could use a new one. she is currently out of work and on short term disability.

  66. Julie Updike says

    I love the LG product line! The Sidekick would be great for doing small wash loads! Very Cute laundry room.

    • Reichel says

      Yes! It really helps the motivation level when it’s laundry day, that’s for sure 😉

  69. Lisa Brown says

    I would love to own one because I love the idea of being able to wash a very small load, and be able to wash two loads at the same time: efficient and convenient and saves on space. Thanks for the chance:)

  70. Victoria says

    Wow – what an amazing giveaway! I am absolutely in love with the idea of a smaller washer for those accidents that need washed right away and you don’t have enough dirty clothes (or energy most likely! lol!) to do a full load.

    • Reichel says

      Yes, so true! I’m still working on a shirt that i spilled tea on a month ago. I wasn’t able to wash it right away and it hasn’t come out with several washes. sigh.

  71. Rachel W. says

    Would love to win a Sidekick! I Definitely think it would help with baby and toddler clothes! Beig able to thRow a feW things in would be so helpful. We actually just bought an lg washer and i just love It so much!!

  72. kaitlin says

    I love the idea of being able to do a small load or do two different loads at once. And our washer is seriously overdue for an upgrade!

  73. Carol Elkins says

    This washer looks great! I haven’t seen one like this before! I WOULD love to use it for washing kitchen dishcloths and towels (I use a new one everyday). It’s also great for washing the “hand wash” items separately. Thanks for sharing!

  74. Jennifer Russell says

    it looks amazing! Can you please share where you got the bird print above the sink? i love it!!!!

  77. Anita says

    This would be so fantastic for us – -we have a newborn and are constantly needing to do small loads!

  79. Bonnie Leahsay says

    My washer and dryer are beyond old. Also since the children have grown and left the coop i’d need to wait 3-4 weeks for a full load of delicates or speciality loads of laundry. This would be wonderful!

  80. Lauren says

    I love this! I’d use the smaller part for the babies thinsgs ince he has to have special detergent – great giveaway!

  81. Stephanie Phelps says

    I would love to have one because with 6 people in the house this would make my life so much easier!

  82. Sophia says

    Small loads, definitely! I’m always collecting similar fabrics, colors, etc., for bigger loads. Washing small, delicate or single items in a smaller washer is ideal!

    • Joan says

      Love the idea of a Sidekick. It’s the perfect solution when I want to wash a small load. With only two adults in my house, we only do a big load once a week. Now I can do small washes in between!

  89. Donna Dennis says

    I really need a good way to wash some of my hand wash tops. My washer gives me problems all the time. I would love to win this washer.

  91. Natalie says

    I’d love to own LG Sidekick because I can wash my workout clothes such as my sports bras separate from my other laundry. I run every day so I go through a lot of workout clothes.

  92. Kelly kamp says

    We cloth diaper our 8 monTh old. We wash them every two days but have to constantly reWash small towels to bulk up the load. The sidekick seems like thE perfrct solution for those smaller diaper batches, not to mention id finally be able to do laundry other than diapers!

    • Reichel says

      Yes! Exactly. We’re kind of going through the same thing (to a lesser degree) with the potty training 😉 It’ been super helpful!

  93. Stephanie Grant says

    I would love, love, love to have an LG sidekick because we have a small family and it’s not always economical to use the full size washer for smaller loads like our swimming clothing and towels after swimming. I hate letting them sit in the sink or tub wet until we have a big enough load to wash.

  95. rm says

    How has this impacted your hanging space above the new washer? It looks like there is less space.

      • robyn says

        We are looking into getting a new washer & Dryer (possibly this one) and with the increased height and not too high CEILINGs, I’m wondering where I will put my hanging rod.

        Do the clothes hang in your way when you are loading clothes into the washing machine? any chance you have a picture with clothes on the rod?

  96. Nicole Orrell says

    The idea of being able to wash small loads is so appealing for many reasons!
    We already have an LG set-up and absol love it! Addi the Sidekick wOuld take it to the next level!!!

  98. Elizabeth O. says

    Beautiful! I love what you did to the laundry room, it looks like a brand new room! Everything looks great and clean, just as a laundry room should look like. Very classy as well! I love it.

  102. Michelle Rios says

    what a genius design! I’m a nurse and come home tired after +12.5 hrs shifts with dirty scrubs (yuck!). With the sidekick i would be able to wash my scrubs in an efficient manner!

  106. GeorgiaPyle says

    My litte family would love one of these! Our current laundry situation was inherited when we moved into this house – the washer will beep randomly and make you open the door and close it again… and there is no way to bleach whites! An LG sidekick seems like exactly what we are looking for!

  107. jeanna dorcelin says

    WHat a beautiful laundry room. I love washing clothes and i’d be in there everyday washing random things.

  109. Carol Cassara says

    I love your laundry room and you have inspired me. I wonder about painting my cabinets. My room has no counters, though. Thinking…thinking….

  110. Jennifer Fadiman says

    I have an LG front-loader and would love the option of separating out my more delicate items without having to wait to put another load in the wash!!

  112. Deedee says

    As a mom of two littles, it seems that we’re forever buried in laundry! An option to do the smaller items would be perfect for our busy life.

  113. Nicole says

    I have had the same whirlpool agitator washing machine for 20 years. I would love some new technology!

  115. Autumn says

    tHIS WOULD BE a great reason to get my husband on board with a LAUNDRY closet makeover

  117. Meghan says

    I love the lack of waste with being able to do small loads, really custom to what you need!

  119. Doris says

    I have always wanted to have an LG washer machine, they are the creme of the creme!

  122. kristin says

    would love to use this to wash exercise clothes so they don’t sit around all wet and stinky!

  123. Kathy Kenny Ngo says

    Who would not love a washing machine? and it’s lg! the winner is very lucky indeed!

  125. Shannon says

    Amazing!! We are currently redoing our laundy room, and just about to enter potty training time. This would be perfect!!

  129. Ty says

    i LOVE THAT YOU CAN USE THE SMALLER ONES FOR SMALL LOADS. sOMETIMES I ONLY NEED TO WASH A COUPLE OF THINGS AND DONT WANT TO USE THE MACHINES SO I JUST HANDWASH THEM.

  130. Wendy says

    This is perfect for a single person like me! I feel guilty washing smaller loads, but I don’t always want to wait for the laundry to pile up.

  132. Rachel says

    Our washing machine actually takes longer to run than our dryer. Ridiculous, right?? I’ve been secretly drooling over these gorgeous front loader models and i love the small load capability on this one!

  133. Martina Williams says

    The room looks great, I like the small PAINTING, it gives the space a bit of personality. The washer is great, i didn’t see any like this on the market yet

  140. DJ says

    I have a super old washer and this washer would save me time and money on my laundry.

  142. Karla R. says

    I definitely could use a new washer! This one seems so fun to use and works great.

  144. Joni says

    I do a lot of small loads of laundry. The LG Sidekick would work great for me. Your Laundry room Makeover looks great!

  147. Charles says

    i’d love it for my running clothes. Also it would be nice to do a quick wash if my roommate was currently using it.

  150. Kaylaa says

    congratulations, the laundry room looks lovely and two washers in one perfect for a family!

  152. Mandi Smith says

    I love the fact that the LG sidekick has SIX DIFFERENT cycles, and that I would no longer need to run to the LAUNDROMAT 🙂

  153. Trinh Quinonez says

    I’ve had the same washer since I was twelve, yes my parents gave me theirs and they have the LG washer and I wish I could own this modern washer.

  156. Becca Wilson says

    I could totally use one of these so that I can save some space in my laundry room. It is very small in the place that we are renting.

  157. Robin Rue says

    I love how they have combined everything together in this machine. So efficient!

  159. Susan D. says

    ::removes smoothie covered baby dress and own work clothes 3 minutes before needing to leave for work:: dREAMING OF EFFICIENT LAUNDRY….

  160. Dawn McAlexander says

    Smaller loads are probably easier on the dryer, too. I could see where it would take less energy to wash smaller loads than it would larger ones. It is probably less strain on the washer.

  164. tiffany s. says

    This would be perfect in my house! My roommate and i work out six times a week and our stinky work out clothes tend to pile up until we have enough to make a full load (gross i know but we hate wasting water!) with the sidekick we wouldnt have to wait..i’m all about that!

  167. Kathy says

    I really need one of these. This would help out so much. I do laundry all of the time and could use the extra one on the bottom.

  168. Shikha kheskani says

    What a cool concept! We’ve been wanting a pedasta for our LG washer, but this would serve an even bigger purpose + function!

  169. Shikha kheskani says

    What a cool concept! We’ve been wanting a pedastaL for our LG washer, but this would serve an even bigger purpose + function!

  173. Karlyn Cruz says

    Oh, nice one LG! I like how your laundry room looks. I like this giveaway too!

  174. Echo says

    Your laundry room is looking fantastic!!! I think it would be awesome to have a Sidekick! Especially in the summer for washing the beach gear!

  175. dianne hall says

    I would love to win because my washer and dryer are so old and i would love an upgrade!!! thanks for the chance!

  176. Kenny says

    Would love to win because with 3 kids i go through a lot of laundry 🙂 I love LG products!

  178. Kathy Kenny Ngo says

    LG giveAWAY? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THAT’S AWESOME!! I WOULD LOVE TO JOIN. HOW I WISH I WILL WIN.

  179. Sarah says

    I would love to own an LG Sidekick to wash the random towels we use to wipe off muddy puppy paws when it rains!

  182. Tracey Taylor says

    Oh, if only you could see the old washing machine I have. It was my mother’s, and it just *loves* to lurch around, off balance. The gray color is lovely, and since the laundry area is off my kitchen (which is gray and white!), the units would coordinate so well.

    Hoping!

  186. Deborah G. says

    I would love this for my toddler’s clothes! All the different wash cycle options could really help get the stains out of his clothes!

  187. AlliSon says

    The smaller loads thing is great for single people like me, too. It’s a lot for me to fill up a load, so this smalLer guy sounds like a phenomenal idea!

  188. Krystal J. says

    LOVE the neutral gray and white… and that picture! Perfection.
    I had to leave my beloved LG he washing machine with my old house when I sold it, so i’ve been dealing with dingy clothes and washing things twice to actually get them clean for too long now. I’m ready to come back, LG! Will you have me?

  189. Jessica W says

    we try to separate colors, but in some colors we never have enough for a nice sized load, and I hate wasting water. It would also be nice for some of my daughter’s favorite clothes that she likes to wear again and again.

  190. aziel morte says

    I really need this in my new house i don’t have dryer, I only use my hands

  191. JessiCa says

    I would love to have an LG side kick beca Im always so forgetful and will do a last minuTe load and waste a full wash! This would be a life saver! I would also wash all of Hubbys socks in here! hahah

  193. Starla says

    What an absolutely awesome laundry room- I am seriously so jealous! I would love, love, love to win this, because I have had the same washer and dryer for 15 years since I was a child. I need it desperately and while working in an emergency room- I totally need something good!

  196. nicki joseph says

    This would be a dream appliance to own! I have 2 under 2 so we do a lot of laundry. endless laundry!!

  199. Sarah MC says

    The sidekick looks interesting. It would be useful with the SO forgets to do his own laundry

  203. Stefanie Gladden says

    I would love a LG Sidekick because my family needs a great washing machine for all of our stains we get from our messes!

  204. Mary says

    Ive got two little ones who go through clean clothes like nobody’s business! Would be so great to just throw a small load of whatevr suffered the days’ accidents into the washer that night onstead of waiting for a full load to form.

  • Going natural and subtle with the Halloween decor this season. I really hate cluttering up the house with Halloween accessories that you have to store all year. That’s why TJs is my go to for these mini white pumpkins every year. I also popped into a local florist and picked up these tallow branches that look freaking SO cool in pics. But my husband says it feels like there’s a tree growing out of our table 😂 The copper-colored pillows have migrated from one room of the house to another, but I think they’ll stay here for a bit. They look so good paired with black. The kids and I are going to cut out some bats out of black construction paper and hang those tonight. Also there are pumpkins and mums on the front stoop. Feel like I’m winning at this point. BUT we’re still over due on the spooky factor. 👻 Hopefully we’ll get that going this week 👍🏼 Now excuse me while I go grab a snickers from the trick or treat bowl 😜 Sources: @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/2FPVy #liketkit
