(Giveaway) Stock the Fridge Early for the Holidays

Subzero Wolf Noble Pig 13
 

 
I have to admit, I feel a little shy opening up the doors to my refrigerator and freezer for all the world to see. I consider it my private little sanctuary of sustenance and indulgence, which includes lots of cheese, condiments and maybe too many flavors of ice cream.

Ironically, while sharing the innards of my refrigerator might make me feel vulnerable, the refrigerator itself is an exquisite showpiece and focal point of my kitchen and home. I know this might sound crazy or maybe a bit dramatic, but I often stand in front my fridge counting my blessings that this gorgeous and functional masterpiece is mine. Pinch! Yep, it’s real.

If you’ve never experienced this type of love-lust for an appliance, maybe you’ve had similar feelings for a piece of adored furniture? I love my refrigerator as much as any awesome couch or beautiful chair. It really is the truth!

Sub Zero Pro 48 Refrigerator 1
The Sub-Zero PRO 48 refrigerator is a part of my kitchen, not just because of its beautiful, sculpted metal appearance, but among its many features is a masterpiece of preservation. This technology allows me to stock my fridge early when it comes to preparing for holiday meals. I am no longer stuck at the market the day before Thanksgiving buying lettuce because it won’t stay fresh.

And quite honestly, since I live 10 miles out of town proper, this type of preservation comes in handy on a daily basis. I can stock up on perishable groceries and not worry about them going bad. It saves me money and time in the long run.

And back to the beauty aspect, when I entertain, the large stainless steel front casts a beautiful reflective and inviting glow over the kitchen and great room. This is especially nice during the Pacific Northwest winters when darkness comes early.

I still can’t get over the amount of room I have in this refrigerator. The side-by-side doors of the freezer and refrigerator open outward with two dedicated freezer and two dedicated refrigerator drawers beneath.

The large amount of space allows me to stock up while the preservation system keeps the food fresh. A win-win for someone like me who makes their living developing recipes, loves to entertain and has a healthy gang of hungry teens in her house at all times.

So, what is at the core of this master preservation system? Dual refrigeration. Sub-Zero pioneered this technology, allowing fresh foods to receive the cool, humid air they need, while frozen food remains in a cold and dry environment.

Instead of one compressor servicing both your freezer and refrigerator, the PRO 48 has two compressors along with three evaporators keeping the food fresher longer and preventing odors from transferring from the fridge to the freezer. 

I have had lettuce in my crisper drawer for 1-2 weeks without spoilage and avocados 3-4 weeks still in perfect condition. Delicate berries even last days longer, allowing me to spend the few days before a holiday in the kitchen cooking, instead of in the grocery line.

The crisper drawer you see above is sealed tightly with a glass lid, another feature helping ensure freshness. The glass lid glides open without much effort.

By never sharing air between the freezer and refrigerator with dual refrigeration, the PRO 48 ensures your ice tastes fresh and never has a “fishy” taste. As we all know, there is nothing worse than ice melting into a beverage and giving it an “off” flavor. 

As you can see, the ice drawer is also deep and roomy, allowing for six-12 ounce beer glasses to remain standing while the drawer opens and closes. We love this feature.

It is no secret different types of foods require different storage conditions, including specific areas of the refrigerator. Milk needs to be in the coldest part and Sub-Zero design does NOT even allow for a gallon of milk to be placed on the door. A good reminder to us all.

Sub-Zero also boasts antimicrobial air purification with a filter that scrubs the air inside of mold, viruses and bacteria and reduces ethylene gas given off by certain types of produce. Another reason why everything remains fresher longer.

Subzero Wolf Noble Pig 7
At last count there were 11 mustards in my fridge, as well as 5 open jars of maraschino cherries (food blogger problems). It’s not a secret I have a condiment accumulation issue and yes, the PRO 48, with its wide open shelving contributes and enables me to keep a large array of fun things around. Darn.

This type of refrigerator real estate even has room for a lazy Susan to sit right on the shelf and spin freely with even more condiment options. You have no idea how much I appreciate this.

Did I mention how easy it is to change the temperature in the PRO 48? The easy-to-read digital readouts and easy to press buttons are available at your fingertips.

Now, here are a few of my favorite food items to buy ahead and save time during the holidays: 

Deli items: cured/smoked cold cuts, pickles, cheese wedges, pickled veggies ~ basically anything you can effortlessly put on an antipasto/appetizer platter. These will keep in the fridge and are also great to have around for impromptu guests or invites where you need to bring a dish.

Prepackaged veggies: bags of salad, broccoli crowns, shredded carrots, chopped onions, sliced radishes, green beans and fresh herbs. The produce department is full of conveniently sliced and packaged items that keep well in the fridge and will save you so much time.

Miscellaneous items: puff pastry (keep in freezer, thaw 24 hrs in fridge), mini frozen dessert shells, pie dough, pizza dough (for quick meals during the busy season) and if you can keep it hidden from the kids….I like to have 5-7 flavors of “special ice cream” in pint containers, such as, gelato, Ben & Jerry’s or Starbucks. When I have pop in guests or I just don’t have time for a homemade dessert, I put out these pints of ice cream, bowls and spoons and everyone loves trying everything, it’s always a great way to end the night.

  1. I’d love to get a different stove – we have a nice gas one but I’m kind of messy when I cook and there is constantly stuff getting under the edge lip. And the burner top things are pretty and functional but they aren’t flat on top which in hindsight is something I will definitely consider when it’s time for a new cook top.

  2. I am seriously lusting after this fridge and, like you, would be standing in front of it daily admiring its beauty and functionality. But what I most need is a good dishwasher to replace the contractor’s model that came with the house, so that would be my purchase.

  4. You are the luckiest person in the world with this kitchen! How are you not a spokesperson for them or in a magazine ad for them. A REAL home cook who is using these types of appliances…I mean that’s real advertising, not these ads or wealthy people who put these kitchens in and then don’t cook!!

    If I had to remodel, I just want your kitchen, I trust your opinion that these appliances are a dream.

  5. Well I’m sure this fridge would make it much easier to make all your wonderful food creations. I don’t think in the past five years my girl friend and I haven’t had or gone to a family event with out one of your recipes! We love you and would love your fridge!

  6. What a great idea to put that lazy susan in your fridge! I have turntables in my pantry, but never thought about them in the fridge. They would fill up quickly with my homemade jams and relishes. Thanks for the inspiration, as always.

  7. Fridge jealousy here! I have what I like to call a “doll refrigerator”. It is tiny and for someone who likes to entertain, it is a huge pain to shuffle everything around constantly. I would love one of these in my kitchen!!

  8. I would love to have that refrigerator, but have a very small space. I need some one to come in and see how they can make better use of the small space.

  10. We are in the process of building our dream home and wish we could put sub-zero and wolf appliances in our new home. You have a beautiful home!! that gift card would come in handy with purchases for a new home…. hint hint… 🙂 Have a great day!!

  15. ooooohhhhhh…..If only I could redesign my kitchen!!! I would start with knocking down the dividing wall between the kitchen and my family room. I love open spaces! Then I would make a bigger pantry and more counter space. Then I would update my stove to be gas and add a counter cooler for beverages. This is already getting too lengthy…apparently I need to build a dream kitchen and then just place a house around it…… 🙂

  17. Oh, definitely a new refrigerator! I have one of those narrow side-by-sides that is totally non-functional… Your refrigerator is GORGEOUS!! Total fridge envy… 🙂

  20. Now that i am back in the cooking-everything-from-scratch mode for my two deee-licious grandsons, I would love a new stove/oven for my kitchen….it’s still the place where we make memories as a family!

  23. I’ve just bought my first home and still in chaos moving in to it…but enjoying my new appliances and now ready to stock them. I still have the same condiment problem…I make lots of my own and store them in WECK Canning jars…love the look. Your shelf idea is one I may try.

  26. Unfortunately, I rent, so remodeling isn’t in the stars, but I would love a bigger fridge, if we could fit it, and would replace the appliances in a heartbeat if I had the choice. Just grateful to have a light in my oven!

  28. Your kitchen is fabulous!
    In my families case, our kitchen could use a major overhaul, lol. Add more room to entertain our large family during holidays and family celebrations.
    New appliances – starting with the refrigerator, stove, etc. to cook wonderful meals for my crew, lol.
    I think in most family’s cases, the kitchen is the heart of any gathering…we all end up there, no matter what the occasion!

  29. I have just moved into a house with a great kitchen. The only thing I would change is the fridge! I can’t stand the one that came with the house. It is nice and newer and digital but it isn’t functional. Lots and lots of wasted space. Groceries don’t fit, produce doesn’t stay fresh, the ice maker holds about 10 cubes of ice. It is a train wreck. I am coveting your wonderful refrigerator.

    Reply

  31. 1st of all, I’m in AWE of your fridge & kitchen ha….I LOVE that fridge!!!! I can see why you are in lust with it haha

    I’d definitely change the flooring in my kitchen..countertops and all new appliances and HELLO, that FRICKIN’ amazing SUB ZERO fridge you have lol

    Thank you for the chance to win!! #FridgeEnvy

  43. I love this whole reading/looking/snooping-through-your-fridge experience. If I remodeled my kitchen, I’d make it big enough to hold 15 people holding champaigne flutes without touching elbows. Yes, I love your fridge and most of the food I see in it. Concerning my food fetishes, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have an extra smaller fridge JUST for condiments. I love ’em all and have a hard time not buying every new one I see. There is often a tug of war (between food and sauces) for space in my traditionally small and poorly constructed refridgerator. Thanks for opening your fridge and inspiring those of us who LOVE FOOD and enjoy dreaming BIG.

  48. OMG Can I just live in your kitchen? In your fridge even…I wouldn’t make much noise, I promise! haha Your kitchen is stunning! From a young age, I’ve always found that when the kitchen is the social center of the home, everything feels happier 🙂 I don’t have kids of my own yet, but I’m planning to and that fridge (entire setup for that matter!) would be so amazing to bring the whole family together over fresh, local foods (something my husband and I are trying harder and harder to do!).

  52. I love my 1930’s kichen, but it sure needs some new cabinets. In doing so I would reconfigure my appliances and include a gas stove, larger refrigerator ( such as yours) anew dishwasher and a farm sink.

  53. I would blow put a wall and take over the formal dining room and add more cabinets, a bigger pantry and an island! I would upgrade my dishwasher and get a bigger fridge. Oh, a girl can dream!!

  62. we are a blended family of 8…..i’d give anything to have a double oven/stove, my oven decides when it wants to work…sometimes the burners don’t want to turn on either and when you have something planned and the oven won’t start…let’s just say i have a lil kick fest on my oven and sometimes that helps and sometimes it don’t 🙁 ….i’d also love this big asssssssssssssssssssssssss fridge lol…..my kids could not say there is nothing in the fridge !!!!

  65. We built our house five years ago and, due to budget issues, went with a laminate counter and no backsplash. I’m certainly not complaining, as it’s been great! But I’d love to put some dough (no pun intended) on counters and a beautiful backsplash.

    Reply

  70. I would love to update the refrigerator and stove immediately. Then add an island in the middle with wine fridge as well as redoing the cabinets. New countertops, backsplash and sink.

    Reply

  71. I do believe it I was to really update my kitchen ( we have done the granite and the cabinets) I would totally knock down the wall that separates it from the dining room and expand it to be able to hold an awesome subzero fridge. Your’s is amazing…I would also change out the black appliances for stainless but they are new so that would be a total waste. Other than that I am perfectly content with my country kitchen…What it doesn’t hold in a sub zero fridge, it holds in love 🙂

  72. I need a new stove. I wear them out. I cook all the time. I would love to have a gas top and a large electric oven or two. I love the fridge but I need a stove.

    Reply

  75. I love my new stove the way you love your refrigerator. When we moved, our house had an electric stove. We had to get a gas line run and create a way for a range hood to vent to the outside, and I found a floor model Dacor gas range half-price on eBay. It’s a shiny silver Cadillac, and everything is more fun and precise to cook. If I could have anything new in my kitchen, it would be a wonderful large fridge like yours. Ours is pretty small, and we’re constantly shifting things around trying to find space. It feels like every time we can an idea of a dinner it would be fun to make we have to run to the store, because we can store very little in our fridge. With a fridge like yours, I bet you can just open the door, poke around a little bit, and create something amazing every time.

  77. I love to cook and bake. We have an old house with a “one butt” kitchen. My dream would be more room, more counter space. But if I had to choose, my stove is old and the oven tends to scorch things – like cookie bottoms. A new gas stove with a double oven would be over the top!

    Reply

  80. Love love love that refrigerator! When I need to replace my new Samsung French-door model I would totally purchase a Sub-zero like yours. What my kitchen needs are new counter tops and a replacement of the 12 yr. old cooktop stove– gas would be my choice! Yes, as many other commenters I am suffering kitchen envy!!

  82. My kitchen is cabinets are orignal, from when the home was built in the 1950’s and in desperate need of updating. If I had the opportunity to remodel it would be a complete overhaul!

    I am just finishing up my (year long – guh) major kitchen remodel – and my one big thing I wanted was my Wolf dual fuel range… I took out my wall ovens and had the island rebuilt around the oven – stove combination. I love it. I chose my refrigerator based on the soda water dispenser – ha! – but I would love to upgrade to a SubZero for my next one!

  94. Oh my! Where do I start. I need new cabinets, floors, appliances, you name it! My kitchen is straight out of the 70’s/80’s with wood cabinets and wood laminate counters. It’s hideous! I’ve been trying to figure out the cost of the remodel for months now.

    Reply

  96. If I had a chance to remodel my kitchen, I would do a ton of stuff. I would purchase new appliances — fridge, stove, dishwasher, etc. I would add granite counter tops. I would extend my kitchen (make it larger). New cabinets, more storage. Plus more and more and more..!! I think you get the picture.

    Reply

  97. I would put in a Farm Kitchen sink, pendant lights over the counter and granite counter tops. I love my kitchen and the way it is arranged but these would be nice improvements.

    Reply

  104. Disclaimer: Our house is 102 years old

    I would definitely make it bigger! We have room for two to squeeze past each other, but if the fridge is open, forget about it! I would update all of the appliances (bigger fridge and stove/oven in one) the cabinets, the countertops and the floor. And with a bigger kitchen, I would build a pantry, and an island, since we don’t eat in our dining room anyways.

    Reply

  106. I am always looking for ways to organize and make what I have work better. Love the idea of the lazy susan in the fridge (love the fridge too)-it would help to not lose condiments etc. in the back until they’re too “green and black” to use~

    Reply

  108. I would love a refrigerator like that!! Updating my kitchen is not an option as I need a complete kitchen! I have just moved into the partially completed basement of my son’s home and while it has a lovely living area with a fireplace and full bath – there is no kitchen. We are planning on installing a kitchen but until then I plan to use a toaster oven, crock pot, and hot plate to prepare meals. Until I get those items I am having my meals with them.

    Reply

  110. You have such a lovely, warm kitchen! I’d like to update mine starting with a new cooktop and oven. An extra splurge would be to have a warming tray and TWO ovens, that would be delightful! The rest I could live with.

  113. Oh if I could do a kitchen remodel, it would be a complete overhaul! Lol my kitchen is very outdated and small (think galley). BUT if I had to start with one thing it would be my range. I LOVE gas stoves and would love a more evenly temperatud oven! What a nice giveaway! Thanks!

    Reply

  118. We are in the beginning stages of thinking of a remodel…new fridge and stove are a must. A larger kitchen that is more open to allow all of the entertaining we do is also a must. I would also love an island with sink and a mini fridge in the island for beverages.

    Reply

  120. look at all that Tillamook in your fridge and freezer! I love it!! If I could remodel my kitchen I would definitely swap out my electric stove for a gas range. It would really make it easier to to make creme anglaise and caramel sauce. I think I also need your fridge, but for a quick makeover I might steal your Lazy Susan idea! Long gone are the days of condiments making there way to the back of the fridge to die!

  121. I love how organized your fridge is. I know what I am doing when I get home. If I was going to redo my kitchen, it would have more cabinet space and double ovens for sure.

  123. What an awesome giveaway! I could use a new fridge! The handle is broken on the one I have and the crisper drawers are glued back together and do not like to go in or out!

  124. You have a beautiful kitchen and that refrigerator is amazing. We built about 10 years ago and all I would change is a quieter dishwasher. The open space concept makes kitchen noises a little distracting, so I always wait to run the dishwasher.

  130. Total gut job! For real! Our home is at least 3 centuries old, the countless additions, remodels, and so on over that time was not always done with thought or love, the kitchen is actually the room that has been given the least thought, it is not user friendly are you one who loves to cook & bake…and I am. I’ve already painted the cabinets, replaced knobs & pulls, replaced appliances, and we’ve done the floor, didn’t help much. It needs to be restructured & updated.

    Reply

  133. If I could remodel my kitchen I would love to expand it so I had room to put in double ovens! That is one thing I have always wanted. I would probably have to increase the size of my pantry as well so I can store more goods for all the cooking and baking that I do.

    Reply

  134. I would love to upgrade our refrigerator to a sub-zero model! We love to entertain our friends with food and that would guarantee we always had all ingredients on hand! A center island with counter space and storage would also be nice.

  135. I love your refridgerator…I recently did a small remodel on my kitchen in my apartment, but it is very small and also a rental so I couldn’t do too much. If I had a bigger kitchen and could do it anyway I want, it would be similar to yours…Definitely would want your refridgerator and a new bigger stove with tuscan being the decorating sceme.

  137. Since our house is 20 years old now with everything in the kitchen except the microwave and dishwadher being original, I could replace a lot! I would probably start with the countertops and would refinish the cabinets then replace appliances as needed.

  138. beauty of a fridge I love how organized it is I’m forever throwing food away due to freezer burn and lack of trust that the food is still good!! I’m always throwing stuff out its always a fight around here that I do this .

  153. I’ll take YOUR fridge! The new one we had for 2 mos (LG) had a bad fan, and thawed all of my EXPENSIVE Gluten Free food! I would remodel to get more deep storage drawers, and right height counter tops! Nothing fits under the upper cabinets!

  158. We have been needing a new refrigerator for several years. When our refrigerator went out a few years ago we couldn’t afford the Subzero which is what I really wanted. So hoping we could get one later, we bought a smaller, very inexpensive one to use for a while – unfortunately we still have it. I love the air flow being separated so the ice doesn’t taste like your vegetables! Hope to have one some day.

    Reply

  162. I love the versatility of the drawers! I cook most every day. We are newlyweds and my husband says he has never had such delicious food and is anticipating dinner every time for something delicious. The refrigerator in the house is 20 years old and inefficient. The seal is not functioning well. Would be a great addition for us! We just had to replace our hot water heater and we have a car transmission that just went out. Will be waiting to see who wins!

  190. Stunning refrigerator and kitchen. We just finished a {much humbler} kitchen remodel in an effort to sell our house. I’m going to hate to leave it after tailoring it to our needs. Our new gas range is going with us, though – never going back to an electric range! Blessings!

  205. I used to have a fabulous kitchen with commercial-grade appliances. I so miss my 48″ -6 burner Wolf cooktop with charbroiler, my Dacor (true convection) double ovens with warming drawer and my 48″ Northland refrigerator/freezer. So, if I could remodel my current kitchen, it would be to replace the appliances I presently have with higher-grade models. You just don’t even realize how much more efficiently you cook and bake till you have wonderful appliances that allow you to multitask in meal preparation–and how your kitchen truly becomes the heart of the home when that happens!

  206. If money were no object, my concrete counters would hit the curb and I’d install a beautiful grainy marble on the island and soapstone around the perimeter. Dream on, dreamer says my husband.

    So, a more realistic change would be new faucets or knobs. Just the “jewelry” would help warm things up immensely!

  207. i have a small but nicely updated kitchen, however if I could make a change it would be for more counter space…I would buy something like a cart that I could pull to the center of my kitch to prep and even have extra storage.

  208. What wouldn’t I do to my kitchen is the question. I would gut the whole thing and start over. But one of the most important and most needed updates that I would add is a pantry! It’s hard not having a pantry. Some of my canned goods and paper products end up getting stored in the laundry room. So, after adding a pantry, I would get new cabinets, granite counter tops, funky back splash…you get the picture.

  212. I work as a private chef and am spoiled whilst working with an eight burner hob from Wolf and the likes of this glorious Sub Zero appliance. I didn’t realize there were that many features to it actually. At home, however, I’m working in a different space. I would like to knock down a partial cabinet/countertop that isn’t structural, thereby giving me the length for a larger oven and range.

  214. I love your lazy susan idea, I do have a lot of condiments. I like all my Asian products! I work in a Grocery Store so I’m always thinking about anything I need before going home. My newly remodeled kitchen is finished but I reused my old appliances the stove and fridge is white while the dishwasher is stainless, matching appliances would really complete it.

  219. I am in the planning stage of a total gut and remodel of my 1960 era kitchen. Induction cooktop, single wall oven, stainless steel sink and stand alone fridge and freezer are on my wish list. Or, I’ll just copy your gorgeously perfect kitchen. 🙂

  220. We bought a 1950’s home last year,and the first thing we did was the kitchen! And my “new” kitchen has many elements similar to yours. We couldn’t go with Wolf and Sub Zero, but we did go with a beautiful Bosch gas stove and Samsung fridge. We chose cherry cabinets and a quartz counter top, along with a glass tile back splash. Next up are those last little details and decor.

  223. I would get an oven and a over the oven air freshener thingie, I use an above the counter oven it is okay and wonderful for just us two but could use a full size oven and the air freshner thingie I cannot think of the name of it, but it is long gone after 36 full years the oven top works, the real oven the broiler unit rusted out and it only cost the builder $50.00 for the oven no use in spending a bundle for an oven I say..we do just fine..The food and everything in your fridge looks like you are doing extremely well..I work for a food pantry we could only dream of a fridge like that filled with plenty of food to prepare for hungry working people who starve in the middle of the month after working 60 plus hours a week on jobs that pay little money, they feed either one spouse and the tiny ones and starve or hit our food pantry and eat and get some food for the 10 days to make it to the next month! It is a reality in clark county even though many from Oregon are getting to clark county, there are no living wage jobs and little housing and few resources for food so they have hunger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  225. My fiancé and I just bought a house. I live in Alabama and he and the house are in Ohio. I won’t be able to live in it until I find a job and move to Ohio. However, I think they kitchen could really use a hood over the oven. Apparently, there used to be one in the kitchen, but now it’s closed. I would love to upgrade that aspect of my kitchen.

  234. My whole kitchen needs an update. I would like to reconfigure the space, which adjoins my family room. The counter tops are green and very old. Finally, I would love to take out the white porcelain tile on the floor and replace it with something more earth toned.

  255. I will never be able to own such an awesome appliance as the Sub Zero. So I read this article and dreamt. I love, love, love to cook, and seeing this ultimate frig stocked to the gills with such goodies………well it is the kind of stuff you see in glossy magazines, knowing it will always be way beyond your financial means

  256. I have fridge envy right now. Although I keep my fridge clean, I have just found a couple of organization ideas from yours, thanks. My kitchen is pretty functional and I enjoy most of it, but would really love a new gas stove. I have an in-home daycare and make nearly all of my meals from scratch and healthy to boot for my family and my kiddos. Love your site and recipes.

    Reply

  262. I would punch thru to my dining room and make it more open. I recently updated my appliances a few years back, but I truly HATE my GE profile stove. It sucks. All electric and it has no finesse on stovetop for cooking, and it’s oven, while great at 1st, never seems to hold a good temp for baking. So I’d dump that POS for something that works, a dual fuel stove is what I’m after.

  263. Not so much remodel, but finally finish my kitchen! I need more cupboards, counters and a decent sink still. I’ve been using an unfinished kitchen for years now, slowly trying to finish it when I can.

  265. Honestly? Our kitchen has always been the “central” room in our home…..everyone ends up there whenever we get together as a family, or entertain our friends, The term “kitchen party” probably derived from somewhere in my family’s lineage! In the home we are in now, unfortunately, the kitchen is one of the smaller rooms : This results in a tight fit whenever we congregate. In a perfect world I would design a home AROUND my dream kitchen…..large functional island, gorgeous gas range with matching hoodtop vent, side by side “tricked out” burnished silver fridge, one wall of glass to allow for natural light to enhance my beautiful accomplishments in the kitchen, and enough bar seating for 20…..I get GIDDY thinking about it! I’m happiest when I’m cooking, so ONE DAY, I will make my dream come true…one day….in the meantime, I live vicariously through sites like Noble Pig to gaze at and learn from those who share my passion. <3

  267. If I had the money I would probably make this fridge my centerpiece appliance in the house. I like the idea of organizing items in separate bins. Hope I can win the $100!

  269. I remodeled my kitchen all by myself a few years ago, we couldn’t afford much so I covered my cabinets in wainscoting wallpaper and then painted them and added trim and stain and new knobs. I made a faux granite counter top and poured envirotex on top to make it look like granite….I love my kitchen now, of course I’d love to get brand new cabinets and real granite and a gorgeous sub zero fridge like yours and maybe one day I’ll be able to but for right now my kitchen makes me happy.

  272. We renovated our kitchen in 2000. As much as I like my glass-top electric range but could use a small built in regular range top so I could use my Pressure Canner again. On even an apartment size range, this would give me the use of an extra oven for Holiday cooking.

    We found out in October 2009, when we applied for a new mortgage to built an new addition to our home. My husband’s health was getting worse: latter stages of Alzheimer’s Disease.
    He could no longer climb the steps. In 2005, if a home does not have a kitchen on the main level it is not considered complete. The value of our house dropped from $45,000. Our home is a split level and the kitchen [newly remodeled in 2000] is considered a basement kitchen now. The new addition(upstairs and down) now has a bathroom upstairs. This helped put it to $121,000value.

    My husband, of 47-yrs, passed away to a third bout of cancer August 30, 2011. The Lord knows he is missed. He sure enjoyed al the canning that I filled our cupboards with.

The bank used the least expensive stuff they could – so I have cupboards that try to give me splinters, an oven that can’t make up its mind what temp to be & a dish washer that is terminally clogged & unusable!
