Appliances!

We have a semi-functioning kitchen! With the exception of the kitchen sink and dishwasher our kitchen is now in full effect! Yesterday I deflowered the stove and made healthy huevos rancheros that were the best thing we've eaten in a while. Then we went shopping and stocked the new fridge with tons of FRESH food and I'm already planning all the delicious dinners we'll enjoy over the next few weeks. I still had to wash the dishes in the bathtub after breakfast yesterday, but with an awesome stove like this, who cares? We also installed the chandelier that I got at WestElm home decor and am completely in love with.

Here's the wine/beverage fridge. I don't know how much we'll actually use this thing, but I still like having it

Lovely capiz shell chandelier - one of my best purchases
We need to be very careful not to light the cabinets on fire with this thing

I forgot to mention that I found this Thermador on Craigslist for a mere $300Cody modeling our well stocked fridge

An external view - it's so shiny and lovely :)

Sorry, again with the cooktop, but I love it so much!

And last, here is the double microwave/oven which was another steal I found at the Sears appliance outlet. I saved a ton of money shopping there. If only I had noticed the missing racks and missing side panels at the time...

We can't say we weren't warned...

but I never listened..... Here are the newest reno-porn pictures

from last night's hardcore home-destroying activities.

We didn't have any insullation in the walls, but I think the massive amount of spider webs we discovered probably helped keep parts of the walls warm. Jason getting buried alive under the snowy pink and grey blown-in ceiling insullation.

This is what the house looked like when I left for work this morning. We have no ceiling! Remind me to move my elliptical machine out of the way next time...

Finally landed on a master bath style

I've been looking, and looking, and looking for a bathroom style that fits my vision for the master bath of my house and finally found this:

I'll need to insert a smaller window since my current bathroom is an airless sealed room, but I love the clean, fresh look of this bathroom and think I can pull it off in my own. Not too sure about the exposed plumbing under the sink, but I love everything else, even the black toilet seat.
