Thursday Tidbits: Kitchen Appliances

I’m a day late with this but want to give you an update on our kitchen remodeling project. Hubby and I have been running from one end of Fort Worth to the other looking at appliances. We decided to go with GE. Their prices are better than many, their products are American made, and I fell in love with the new color they have out. It’s called “Slate.” Darker than stainless, it doesn’t show fingerprints, and I think it will really pop next to the light countertops we’re planning on. Here’s a picture of the fridge and dishwasher, which are being delivered today.

And not a minute too soon! Our current machines are on their last legs. The fridge is at least twenty years old. We’ve had it repaired twice, the last time only a few months ago, and now it’s giving us trouble again. The dishwasher isn’t that old but it’s not cleaning the way it should anymore. We could get it repaired, of course, but we decided if we’re going to change out everything else, we might as well go whole hog and get a new dishwasher.

We have two different remodelers coming out today and tomorrow to show us drawings of possible kitchen layouts. We’re anxious to see their ideas and decide who to hire. Both of the guys seem very nice. Knowing me, it’s going to be difficult choosing between them.

That’s it for now. Wish me luck when it comes decision time!
