Shopping For Kitchen Stuff

11 Octobre 2008
Today was another busy Saturday. This morning Matthew and I headed to a city about an hour away because there is an Ikea there. We went in hopes of finding cabinets and appliances for our empty kitchen. We found several free-standing cabinets at Ikea that we think will work nicely and could be brought back to the US to use in a basement or, as Matthew likes to think, in a workshop. Next we headed to another store that we had seen a flyer for. This store was back near Clermont. The flyer said that appliances were included in the purchase of a complete cabinet/countertop set. However, for the price, we liked what we had found at Ikea better. The next stops were several appliance stores. We found one that seemed to work with a lot of Michelin expats. Since we needed to buy a fridge, oven/stove, hood, washer, and dryer, the store gave us a bundled deal and even threw in free delivery! We just have to go back to the apartment and measure to make sure everything will fit! As tiring as today was, I have never gotten to plan a kitchen from scratch. It was fun! I can’t wait until it is all put together. Hopefully it will look as good as it does in my mind! :)
