I have had exactly one new appliance ever before in my life. Today? An entire set … nay, a suite of them! So shiny. So KITCHEN-Y! I think the delivery guys thought I was a total nutcase. Me: “It’s like my baby was just born!” Yeah.
Here’s what’s on deck this weekend: Freelance work. Painting baseboards. Finishing the lower cabinets (cover panels, spacers, etc.). Deciding on backsplash tile. Finalizing the open shelving design. We think we can, we think we can … somebody bring us a pan of brownies and some coffee. We’ll be up late.
Above, all in brushed, smudge-resistant stainless:
- Frigidaire 30-inch wall-mount canopy hood
- Frigidaire Professional dual-fuel 30-inch slide-in range
- Frigidaire Gallery 24-inch dishwasher
- Frigidaire side-by-side 23-cu/ft counter-depth refrigerator

Are you installing the hood to vent to outside?
Yes! I don’t know exactly how much we’ll use it — we are generally very low-grease, low-smoke in our cooking. My last kitchen, in a 1921 bungalow, had no ventilation at all. I had to open the window and hope for the best. So this is a whole new world.
Ours doesn’t vent to the outside and it sucks…glad you are smart and venting out. :)
It’s starting to look so good. I’m excited to see how it all turns out.
I feel that pain from my old kitchen! Garlic smell, anyone? Neither of the bathroom fans currently vent to the outside, so all of that humidity was pouring into the attic. Awe-some. Thank god for the very dry climate (no visible damage).
I think that my brownies wouldn’t help much with motivation – but, a day (or two) late and a dollar (or two) short: here’s hoping things are brighter!
