New year, new kitchen

My parents are finally remodelling the kitchen! Today they started ripping out all of the cabinets and installing the new ones. (They as in the contractors... not my parents :P) My parents also planned to get a new sink and refridgerator.

I really wanted to do something for my parents for being so accomodating this past month so I decided to help them complete the renovation. I bought them a new stove/oven and dishwasher. Here is what I picked out at Best Buy today:


Frigidaire Range with Stainless Steel



I didn't realize how hard it is to pick out appliances! I knew I wanted black/stainless steel appliances because our new cabinets are light maple with black granite counters. I wanted sophisticated looking appliances... didn't realize stainless steel was so expensive! So I picked a simple range with a built in digital oven. The Frigidaire matching dishwasher in the stainless steel was reportedly not very good at dishwashing so I had to opt for the newer black on black model... plus I had to find a very user-friendly one because my mom has never used a dishwasher before (just as a drying rack for her hand-washed dishes) and I want to convert her.
