I am trying 2 focus on the house since the kids r back at school. So far today I have only painted the kitchen cabinet doors. still 2 more coats 2 go. I will also paint the cabinets and grout the closet floor. This reno is taking way 2 long IMO, but when u do it urself big money is saved so worth it in the long run I suppose. To save money on light fixtures I plan to paint the outdated brass with an oil rubbed bronze spray paint. I have seen pics online and it is a great transformation.

I have 2 pick out my new appliances soon. It's been over a month with no dishwasher and stove. I'll feel spoiled when i finally get them. Doing dishes by hand isn't so bad but cooking in a toaster oven and with a 2 burner hot plate kinda sucks. I am making do tho.
I have done research online with cons repts and other websites but can't find a fridge with good reviews with my specs. I want a stainless steel side-by-side or freezer on bottom. All other appliances i will just buy 2 match. Anyone have any suggestions?
