Out With The Gold In With The New

We inherited some lovely gold appliances when we bought our home almost two years ago.

We decided not to replace any of the appliances until they kicked the bucket.

{And boy did they use to make things last 30+ years ago!}

But finally last month the dishwasher had finally had enough and stopped working.

So we got a new white dishwasher to match our white painted cabinets.

We didn't get anything top of the line, just a basic model.

We plan on adding an addition to our home in 4-5 years.

Part of this addition will include expanding our kitchen.

So most of what we're doing in here is just a temporary fix.



This is a picture of the kitchen the day we signed the papers on the house.

Can you see that foe brick already being demoed on the floor there?

My husband was more than anxious to get his hands on this house and fix it up.

{I love this man of mine who loves to demo and fix things up!!!}

{Current Kitchen}

One gold appliance gone.

One to go.

{wink.}

The sort of funny {but not really for my husband the handyman} part about replacing this dishwasher was that as soon as my husband replaced it,

the water valve under the sink broke.

{Had to take a trip to Home Depot.}

He came home with the wrong fitting part.

{One more trip to Home Depot.}

Valve. Fixed.

Kitchen faucet starts leaking...

Find out it's broken too.

{Another trip to Home Depot.}

So what does a broken dishwasher,

ordering a new dishwasher,

having the new dishwasher arrive five days later,

and three trips to Home Depot equal???

A new dishwasher. A new water valve thingy.

AND

a new kitchen faucet.

Having a working kitchen...priceless.

If you read this hon, thanks for all your hard work!!!
