New Appliances!

Joe and I got new appliances! We've had them for a while now, and I am finally posting pictures to prove it.

First, our dishwasher.


We actually bought the dishwasher at the same time as we bought our cabinets. It lived in its in box, in the dining room, for over a year. It finally got installed and we love it.

Then we got our shiny new stove. ooooooooh...



It's a gas stove, so we had it in place in the kitchen for a while without any gas running to it. We eventually got a gas line run from our basement to our kitchen, and now have a working stove! I love it. It cooks food evenly, the gas makes it easy to control temperature, and the oven temperature is accurate(!) which is a luxury I've not previously enjoyed. It also has a warming drawer, so I can't wait to throw a big party with multiple side dishes. :)

Above the stove you'll notice a junction box hanging from the cabinets.  This is the power for the range hood that we do not yet have.  That will be the last appliance in the kitchen, and the last thing to be installed before we are able to have our final kitchen inspection and get our c.o.

Then, the only remaining steps between us and a completely finished kitchen will be:

1.  Install toe kick and molding at base of cabinets

2.  Install trim around doors (3) and window (1)

3.  Caulk small gaps in crown molding

(Ok, we also still have to install and connect the pex which will provide the kitchen with radiant floor heating, but that is not a project that is visible from the kitchen, so no one will really know if we've done it or not.)

Then, we will move on to the upstairs bathroom...
