Out With The Old, In With The New!

Steve and I decided that for our Christmas gift to each other, we would buy a new oven/stove(one without coils)! Well, after Steve did some "research" on the new oven and realized that if we wanted to stick with the same Whirlpool brand, the only oven that would fit to replace our drop-in still had coils. So, that idea turned into looking at all new appliances. We found some that we loved and decided to splurge and go ahead and get them while they were on sale. Then, we started thinking a little more and decided that since the new oven would not fit in the same place without cutting the Formica counter tops a little, we might as well go ahead and put in granite in hopes that when the time comes to sell our house, it would help to have a new kitchen. We went to 3 places to get estimates, Lowes, Home Depot, and Coastal Kitchen and Bath (a local custom place). Surprisingly, Coastal Kitchen and Bath was $10 cheaper per square foot than Lowes and Home Depot, plus we received a free under mount sink and free edging!

We are so please with the way our kitchen turned out! Here are some before and after photos...

This is what it looked like when we first bought it.

A few years later we painted.

New appliances and counter tops!
