Small Laundry Room Makeover With GE Appliances
Last updated August 21, 2024
Ashley Basnight, is a software engineer with a Boeing Company outside of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. In August of 2016, Ashley was looking for a custom dining table and could not find anyone in her area to build her one at an affordable price! She was determined to get a custom table and ran across an Instagram page of a woman who built furniture! It was then Ashley came across a woodworking community of cool builders who were committing their lives to furniture making. She first started off repurposing furniture and spent weeks looking at woodworking plans wondering if she could do it too; after going back and forth, one day she finally just said enough is enough! So she got up, drove to Home Depot and bought the biggest saw she could find and Ashley built her first dining table with no sort of woodworking background at all.

Choosing the Perfect Washer and Dryer Set for a Laundry Room Refresh
When I moved into my new house, I inherited an old washer and dryer from my previous living space. Not too long after moving in, I knew that the time would come to replace them. I wanted to makeover my laundry room, but was holding off because I didn’t want to do a big makeover with old appliances. Eventually, my washer began to fail and it was time to finally upgrade.
Although my laundry room was super small, I was confident that a little paint, new flooring and some new laundry appliances could really bring the space to life. Read on to check out the before and after.
Picking out laundry appliances can sometimes be a little daunting. With all of the technology and new features that laundry sets come equipped with, picking out the right appliances can be a real task. Here’s why this GE Top Load Washing Machine and GE Dryer set was the perfect match for me and my laundry room.
WiFi Connected
As an engineer, I am very in-tune with my technological side, so the Wi-Fi connected feature on the washer and dryer was a no-brainer. The GE Washer has the ability to connect to your phone and allows you to control the washer with your phone and voice commands. From anywhere in the house, you can control and monitor your laundry status with your phone.
This can all be done through the GE Laundry App, which was very easy to download and setup. This app has many features, including the ability to extend your dryer cycles, monitor cycle status and time remaining and track levels of SmartDispense tanks. This is a feature I love because I am always wondering when the load will be finished. Getting a notification to my phone that the cycle is complete and ready for the next load is so convenient.
The SmartDispense Technology allows you to put up to 75 oz. of detergent into the washer and automatically dispenses the right amount of detergent into each load. How cool is that? I hate pouring detergent into the cup every time I need to wash clothes, so this is a game changer.
Energy Efficient
This GE washer and dryer set is ENERGY STAR qualified, meaning it meets/exceeds federal guidelines for energy efficiency. When I saw that, I immediately thought: money savings. I am constantly washing clothes, so being energy efficient is definitely something I want to keep in mind. If you are someone who likes to save, then this is a great option for you.
Diamond Gray Finish
Finally, everyone wants a laundry room set that looks good. The diamond gray finish on this GE washer and dryer set really caught my eye and with my laundry room updates. It really elevates my laundry room refresh to another level.
That wraps up the main features that make this GE washer and dryer set perfect for me, but it comes equipped with a ton of other great features, as well.
- Water Station allows you to pre-wash clothes easily with a faucet inside the washer that dispenses detergent and water
- Auto Soak loosens stains by soaking clothes before the wash cycle
- Speed Wash allows you to perform a quick wash for items needed in a hurry
- Extended Tumble tumbles clothes without heat to eliminate wrinkles and creasing
- HE Sensor Dry senses the moisture of the clothes in the dry cycle to know when clothes are fully dry
- Steam Select allows you to customize your dry cycle by specifying the amount of clothes that need to be steamed
