The horrible thing in the kitchen

When we first moved into our house there were millions of things that needed to be changed or replaced. Millions is probably an exaggeration, but not by much. There were two things that stood out to me as the most horrible and I thought they should be first on the list of things to go. The first were the huge ugly trees growing out of the middle of the wall and over the roof, and the second was the hideously ugly oven. When I started to use the oven it became more apparent that the monstrosity had to go. If a cake said to bake for 35 minutes, in this oven it was burned on the bottom in 15. Even if it wasn't defective the thing is so ugly!
Fast forward to four years later and our house looks completely different. We redid most of the inside and outside, spending countless hours and money on home repairs. Oddly enough the only things managing to survive our renovation were the grotesque trees and the oven!
Our siding started bulging this year and so we had Sears fix it. It was crazy expensive but didn't come without benefits. They gave us a gift card and so we finally were able to get rid of the avocado nightmare and replace it with this.
Not only does it cook according to the instructions on recipes, it also has a clear window and a light!
Now we can have evenly cooked food and entertainment too! Who doesn't want to sit in front of their oven and watch their food cook? Now we can get rid of the television!
It also came in a way awesome box so now when our eyes get tired from sitting in front of the oven we have a fort to play in. This has just been a winning experience for the entire family.
Maybe someday the trees will go as well...

  1. Looking at food must be genetic. I love to look at food too! And the box is perfect for a house or a spaceship. Kristy, the stove is very classy looking. I'll bet it is more fun to cook now! Sounds like a winner all the way around!

  4. Yay, nice stove! Isn't it crazy how sometimes the things we want first end up being the last ones we get?! I hope you have a much more enjoyable time cooking now!

  6. Ooo! Pretty!
    I think the avacado color has probably been in and out of style three times since it was new! You deserve it!
