I have a dishwasher but with just 2 of us it takes awhile to fill it, so I usually just wash by hand. How nice, all your dishes match.

I am PRO-dishwashers!! Raising 6 kids it was a necessity at our house:) But I do try to do it wisely. Never a half load, etc. Love the wood front! I'm with you on all the stainless steel. Too industrial looking for me:) Great post! Linda C I’ve never seen a narrow dishwasher like that–so neat! I am PRO-dishwashers!!

We use greywater safe detergents and save all the rinse water in a tub for use on the garden. I would bet you're right about dishwashers being more efficient if used properly but whenever I'm at friends' houses they all seem to rinse the dishes by hand and handwash pots, knives, cutting boards and wine glasses. I've had my dishes forever and they still look new. My brother and family have some beautiful Polish dishes that look worn from being washed in a dishwasher. When we look up from handwashing our dishes, depending on the time of year we see: City Park with the foothills in the backround, lots of birds and the neighborhood foxes, lilacs, roses, honeysuckle with heavenly blue morning glories weaving through them, my herb garden etc. I like handwashing and air-drying dishes.

I just love how you make room in 480 sq. feet. I always hand wash and not use the dishwasher but this post has me thinking now. How neat how they do the wood part in the front.

Congrats on you dishwasher! I wash my dishes with hand but since we live in the desert I try to wash them under a very weak stream of water - because I already feel so guilty!! That's also the reason why I don't take showers...just kidding!!! Hi Katie!
