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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  61. 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.

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

  63. 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. 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!

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

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

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

  69. 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. 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.

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

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

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

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

  82. 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!

    • 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. 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. 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. 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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  203. 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. 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.
