Over the last few weeks we’ve been doing a minor remodel of our kitchen. Since kitchens can be an endless money pit, and we don’t have endless money to throw at it, we decided to keep things simple: Fresh paint and new appliances. What a difference! It’s looking great, but we still have more to go. The blinds we ordered haven’t arrived yet, and the original refrigerator we bought didn’t fit! It was too wide by about 1/2″. Of course the model that will fit is more expensive and had to be special-ordered. It’ll be about three more weeks before it arrives, but fortunately we have our old fridge out in the garage.

Overall we’re quite pleased. We really hated the old kitchen; the colors were blah and the appliances were old and nasty. This relatively minor upgrade on the crazy kitchen economic scale is well worth it.
