So much for a plan

Jeff and I woke up Saturday morning and decided to go shopping for a new refrigerator; something we had been planning for a while. You would think that would be a fairly simple task but we have a tendency to complicate things. By the time we left the store we had purchased:

This...

And this...

   

And this...

And last but not least this handy little microwave/convection oven to go above the range...

So much for having a plan. When we got home we began looking at our kitchen and decided that our cabinets would look much better with the new appliances if we painted them. So, we did a little research on colors and then headed to the paint store. We have a large kitchen with a lot of cabinets. Painting them is no small task. Once we started painting we realized that the color of the walls would look better if they were different. Again, we have a large kitchen with a lot of cabinets AND a lot of wall space which means this is also no small task. A couple of hours later the light bulbs started flashing again. In an effort to be brief let me say that the next bright idea is going to involve a carpenter moving this cabinet there and changing this and that portion of counter top. Hopefully he'll be able to do this task by the end of the week since the appliances are being delivered next week. All of these bright ideas have left our kitchen in a huge mess. I think I'll take a few pictures tonight to be able to compare the before and after. With any luck the after will look like the vision Jeff and I see in our minds. At least we're both seeing the same thing. At least I think we are. Who knows, maybe we'll end up with a line drawn down the middle of the kitchen with one side being mine and the other side his. As long as he ends up with the side that has both the sink and the dishwasher, I'll be happy.

Oh! I want that fridge! I SO want one with the freezer on the bottom! And an icemaker in the door! We had a second fridge in the garage that died this summer. We're thinking of putting the one from the kitchen into the garage and getting a new one for the kitchen. With the freezer on the bottom!
