You're not honestly expecting us to believe that like your new oven better than your vintage harvest gold are you?
No accounting for taste! :-)
It's a real beauty, Ronni -- the black top really sets it off nicely. As said previously, all my small appliances are stainless with black accents but I could really "warm up" (pardon the pun") to having that in my kitchen.
A fridge, however, it another matter -- unless it had some features to take away from the commercial look of plain stainless -- perhaps a drink/ice dispenser inset on black.
No doubt I could find something I liked - haven't had the need to look -- the priest was moving into an assisted living home and sold us his 6 month old fridge for $200 -- retailed for about $900 (bought by the parishioners) - he "threw in" a really neat retro bedroom set & other odd & ends for another $35.
The bed has metal head & foot boards with really quaint color designs on it. The dresser, bureau & side table are not high quality but complete the "look". Number 2 son got first dibs on them. I added a nice quilt set & a floor mat & he stepped back several decades.
Of all the neat things we got -- including a really unusual cigarette/magazine/telephone stand, the wooden back-scratcher was hubby's favorite treasure -- said that alone was worth $235.
Melissa, it's a reflection of a cat. The dryer is where I have to watch out for cats, and I used to have one that crawled into the dishwasher if I were silly enough to leave it open.
Father Roddie, who is 85, did live in the Glebe House for many years but with his declining health, the new assisted living center seemed a better option. I imagine he could have received the necessary care had he moved to the capital city across the island but he has a lot of relatives locally.
The funny thing is that my sister-in-law (his niece by marriage) was needing a new fridge but she told me it was 6 feet high and she didn't want to have to cut her cupboards. She knew my fridge was woefully too small (and leaking) and that I was prepared to alter the cupboard above if need be.
The thing is, it fit perfectly - the fridge was only about 5 1/2 feet high -- much to my sister-in-law's chagrin. She was a good sport about it though as she did the original measuring!
Now that's a pretty stove! Love the stainless steel.
ReplyDeleteIt's much nicer than the one I had!

ReplyDeleteAh, yes. The old cat in the dryer trick. I remember it well.
