New Appliances

We are now one step closer to my dream kitchen! My least favorite thing about this house was the lack of a microwave and the outdated appliances. We went out after a day in the new house and started to look at appliances. I knew what I wanted from the minute I saw it. I wanted a double range gas top stove. It was beautiful and calling my name. The good news was I could get it, but the bad news was there was a sale that I had to wait a week for before I would purchase anything. The sale really cut the cost of our purchase. Not only were we able to get 10% off our whole purchase because of the sale we were also able to take an extra 10% off of that because Lowes is an awesome supporter of the military and offers a 10% discount on every purchase for military service members.

The most amazing purchase was our Whirpool Gold 30-inch 4-burner double oven gas range


Whirlpool Gold 23.875-inch built-in dishwasher



Samsung 1.8 Cu. Ft. over-the-range microwave. Because we wanted the gas stove we found we were limited in our choice of over-the-range microwaves due to the strong blower requirements for gas top stoves. We chose the cheaper of the two choices we were given. The microwave is the only appliance that is not a Whirpool but it still goes well with the stove and dishwasher.

What was hiding under the dishwasher. The man installing the appliances let me have as much time as I wanted to scrub out this area.

You can also catch a glimpse of the color that I picked for the kitchen and the amazing flowers that my husband had sent to me for Valentines day.

The reason for the installation of the microwave being  greater than the other appliances was because we had to convert our hood into a microwave hood so there was more electrical work needed than for the other installations. Also Lowe's has free delivery and haul-away which made everything very simple on my end!
