#6 Dream Kitchen!!

I am so over-the-moon about my kitchen!!  Or, as Mater put it, I'm happier than a tornado in a trailer park.  lol  (sorry....my kids love that movie)

Anyway.....

I have always wanted the antique white kitchen with granite counter tops.  Now I have it!  And I'm most excited about how ornate the cabinets are.  They are not as plain as some of the cabinets out there (ahem...ikea). 

I have always wanted an island, and now I have it too!

I have always like the look of stainless steel, but have never had one appliance that was S.Steel.  Now I do!

Yes, this is a dream kitchen for me. A kitchen I can't wait to cook in!!

Man, what will I make first?  London Broil, mashed potatoes and gravy?  Pot Roast?  Chicken and broccoli and cheese stuffed croissants?  A pasta?  Meatloaf?  I have NO idea what our celebratory dinner will be yet.  If we had a grill, it would be steak!  With asparagus and a salad!  Mmmmm  (we have delish way of cooking it the asparagus!)  Something else for me to plan.  lol  I think I'm leaning toward the London Broil....  We'll see.

Man... I can't wait to use the kitchen!  I'm not sure what my favorite room will be..... Our kitchen or our bedroom.  It's a close call for sure!  lol

MAJOR CHANGE! HELP!!

We did a major last minute change tonight. We changed our cabinets to match our kitchen table. We are going with the final upgrade of the antique white cabinets with the St. Cecelia Granite!

It will look something like these:





Here is where I need your help. I want to keep our black appliances for the following reasons:

1. to compliment the black and white fireplace we have
2. I think the stark white appliances against the antique white ones is a bit too white. See example below:




OK...SO I TRIED TO COLOR THIS. LOL I SUCK! LOL

He thinks the white is the better way to go. Especially since we get the microwave above the stove. And our fridge is white, so it wouldn't matter.

We will eventually upgrade to stainless, but we don't want that in our mortgage payment. You know? So for now...which do we get?

What do you guys think? I need answers by 3 pm tomorrow!!!! HELP US!! lol

Remember...my sink overlooks my den and white and black fireplace....
