Our family of five has lived without a dryer for 2 years and survived by hanging laundry outside in good weather and hanging it on a clothes airer in bad weather. Comforters get washed at home and I go to the laundromat to dry them. I have also lived without a dishwasher but certainly could never go without a washing machine.


5 Tips for Living Without a Washer/Dryer

I've tried the Henckels and the Zwilling knives and they were pretty good as long as you can sharpen them properly. Even the best knives get blunt over time. Last year I got a cook's knife, a paring knife and a filet knife from Global. I've kept only the bread knife from the old set and use these 3 knives for everything. I can honestly say I don' t need any others and I cook from scratch every day. They aren't cheap, cannot go in the dishwasher and need to be sharpened properly. I say save for the Globals if you can, I paid over $500 for a block and set of knives and really it was a false economy as I only used half of them.

Maybe a big colorful throw or duvet cover would work. Draped over and tucked in with some snazzy cushions?
