kitchen refresh
Sometimes you just need to refresh your environment to feel better. I love my house that was built in 1978 but when I would go into the kitchen I felt like I was surrounded by too much "80's Oak". Time to freshen up! It all started when my oven/range went out. It was a drop in model and kept beeping and beeping and beeping....it was hard wired and I could not get it to stop. I decided to add a plug with my new range so that if that happened again I could unplug it. I didn't realize that ranges are different sizes. I never thought about it and thought they were pretty much all a standard size. Nope, the slide in that I bought was one inch wider than the drop in had been. What to do? I decided to cut a half inch off each side of the cabinets, counter top, etc....to make it fit. Hey, I never said I make the best decisions! I learned a valuable lesson about measuring before buying. I won't make that mistake again. I am certainly no professional in home repair
