Comments (7)I have always loved the idea of Garage Sale gift getting! The idea of having the entire extended family agreeing to do the same would be a dream come true. You and your hubby have the right idea. You can live-large-for-less and that includes Holidays. The little cat you bought would no doubt cost a great deal more at a shop. The stained glass is usually outragiously priced even on ebay. Am I Preaching To The Choir? We "junkers" truly live larger for much less$. What wonderful finds!!!!...See MoreWhere is your microwave located?
Comments (20)Mine languishes on a shelf in the pantry. But then, the only thing I use it for is softening ice cream or warming pancake syrup. I could probably live without it....See Moresoonermagic! Please check in! I have questions for you!
Comments (1)Hi there. Last night, I posted more pictures of the kitchen in the post entitled something like "Marble and Soapstone Kitchen." You'll find some of the details there and many more pics. As for your specific questions, the range is a Bertazzoni. I purchased it from Eurostoves over the phone after simply seeing pictures and reviews of it on the appliances forum. At the time couldn't purchase locally, though now can. I do love it. It was reasonably priced, is beautiful, and cooks wonderfully. I haven't mastered the oven yet, but I am a much better cook than baker, so any oven issues I'm having is attributable to skill not the machine. I do not have a second oven in this kitchen. Again, I don't bake very much at all, so I don't have use for a second oven. For example, for T-day coming up next week, I've relegated the turkey to my husband to smoke on our grill. It'll be better than oven roasted, in my opinion, and he (& all the men) gets to do something on T-day to stay out of my way in the kitchen. My microwave is on the island. It's the Sharp Micro Drawer. It faces the sink. There should be a pic of it in my Marble and Soapstone Kitchen post. I like having the microwave under the counter. But, get the model that has a manual open and close. My model has to be opened and closed with the push of a button and it's just not intuitive. All my ceilings in the house are painted the wall color. In the kitchen, the walls and the ceiling are painted Sherwin Williams Pavillion Beige (from the concepts in colors line). In my opinion, its the perfect neutral color. If you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer. I love this kitchen and I'll certainly share my enthusiasm here....See MoreOTR Microwave Vented to Exterior Flush with 15" Cabinet above
Comments (20)"I still don't understand why so many mfr's used to have models like this..." Ovens have been standardized to attach to a 12" cabinet, reducing the number of appliance variations needed thereby enhancing production economies of scale. The removal of vents on the front of the oven allows for the door to extend to the top of the oven, providing a sleeker appearance. The space at the top-front of the oven was available so why not expel the air there? Air is expelled upward, not into the user's face. Moving the vents from the front to the top of the oven may have allowed the oven's interior to be made larger....See Moreericakn
