window shopping
its 3:00 am, and i'm doing what every normal person does at 3 in the morning...looking at appliances online! we went to lowes tonight to look for a new refrigerator. i thought i wanted an off-white one because our stove and dishwasher are off-white. however, the salesman told us that appliance manufacturers are phasing out the off-white appliances, so there is limited availability. we have replaced the dishwasher since moving into this house. all thats left to replace in the kitchen is the refrigerator and the stove. the refrigerator is at death's door, and a new one will be needed soon. but, the stove is still working (knock on wood). other problem is that IF and WHEN we have to replace the stove, it is 36 inches wide rather than the standard 30 inches. for now, there seems to be plenty of off-white stoves that would go with an off-white refrigerator, but not many that are 36 inches. decisions, decisions....do i get a white refrigerator? or get the off-white and hope that in years to come a 36 inch off-white stove will be available? we plan to live in this house forever, so i have to think ahead along these lines. if only i could sleep...

ReplyDeleteOh Virginia...my thoughts too...but Baby Turner has other ideas going on. The Master Planner's time is perfect...how nice to know He's in control!
ReplyDeletei was up at 3a.m. last night too, shopping winter clothing sales - didn't buy anything though.
ReplyDeletei pondered this seriously since i would be doing the exact same thing. i would probably go with white since in your kitchen, the stove and fridge are side by side and the dishwasher is set apart. you could do other things to visually tie it all together if you end up with whites on the right and and off-white dishwasher, like a white fruit bowl on the bar and a little trio off off-white bud vases, mugs, something right by or on the back of the stove.
em--i saw you were in an out on yahoo messenger which i always assume means you sign in and then click invisible. i thought you might be up.
ReplyDeletei have almost concluded that our stove will never die so maybe i will get the offwhite refrigerator.
then again, who knows...
get both...
ReplyDeleteno, get off white...they may be phasing them out NOW, but by the time your stove dies off white will be all the rage!
haha - no i just check my email every ten minutes when i'm piddling around on the internet in the middle of the night doing nothing in particular :)
