appliances..

Part of the timing of this renovation is the arrival of new appliances. We chose a set by LG for the quality of their electronics. They are smooth white and I'm very excited about them. I have found images online but some are not exactly as they will be. They will give an idea though... The fridge is a bottom freezer French door model with water and ice maker. We've never had water in our fridge and this will be handy, I'm sure. The stove has a flat ceran top and has convection and self-clean options which will certainly be nice. The one in the image here is black but the actual is white with blue inside the oven. The microwave is also blue, almost like enamel, inside. It is white, and not the stainless you see here in the image. And when we called to arrange for delivery, we found out that they are upgrading our model to a newer one free of charge because the one we originally decided on is no longer available! Bonus! :) It was a very nice surprise. Oh, and the microwave is an "over-the-range" model which is totally new to us. I hope it will be convenient though it's the perfect way to save space. The dishwasher is semi-integrated with a stainless tub inside. It also has some different options like doing a half-load at a time. I've only ever had portable dishwashers and always secondhand ones so this will be a real treat! I'm a little nervous about cooking on the stove because of the ceran top but hopefully it won't take too long to get used to once it's arrived and all. I'm sure there will be a learning curve to most of these new appliances and it will be challenging for the first while.
