METAMORPHOSIS MONDAY: NOW I'M COOKIN' WITH GAS
Join in with Susan @ Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday and all the other participants. You will amazed at all the changes that take place.
My old stove had some troubles but I have had it for a long time. The convection fan didn't work. The little mesh thingy-ma-bob that fits in the tube that vents the oven was gone and the heat just poured out there. The plastic guide for the oven door had fallen out on one side and it squeals metal on metal when you open the oven door. Not good for my son's midnight pizzas.
There were also the cosmetic issues with the top that had burned and crackled from the big canning pot on top. See Blubarb Jam or Salsa. Definitely time for a change.
The glass door was clouded over too. You couldn't see anything inside even with the light on.
I always wanted a gas range and I finally got it. Top and bottom both gas, convection, warming drawer, blah, blah, blah....
I also have moved a few things around in the house and had a great spot for a console table. Off to Home Depot where I had spotted a nice one.
It took 3 hours to put together. My youngest son helped with some of it.
Don't open the doors because they are not attached yet.
I really like it there and yes I see the white lamp cord hanging on the floor. Aaargghhh.
Now go and visit all the others. Wait, leave a comment here first now go, scoot.
I am in love with your stove/oven--it is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower and look forward to getting to know you.
Come on over for a visit. I am #5 on the list.

It is so rewarding to move up to a shiny new appliance. I hope you love the new stove...we got a new dishwasher a few months ago, so I can appreciate how you feel.

ReplyDeleteLove your new stove! I sure wish I had a gas stove too, but there are no gas lines at our end of the street. You know what everyone is going to be expecting now that you have this new stove... yep! Ya gotta cook now. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, fancy schmancy. :) I had gas in one of my college apartments. Loved it! Boiling water was so quick!

ReplyDeleteNow that's a beautiful appliance!!! Lucky you, I don't even like to cook, but I still have oven envy! Love the console too.
ReplyDeleteIt took me just a little while to adjust, but now I love cooking with gas. I would love to have a warming drawer! I NEVER would have noticed the white cord. BTW--Beloved is used to things after all these years. He says everytime he leaves town, I paint something or buy a dog. He prefers the paint :)

I so wish I was cooking with gas!!! My stove looks like your previous one except that it is avocado green!!! I still haven't gotten use to electric cooking as I have always had a gas stove and we will be doing the same switch a roo when I finally get a new one!
ReplyDeleteCute blog!
ReplyDeleteOh I love your gas stove, Lori. So clean and shiny and nice! You did a good job assembling that buffet table. I have no such patience!...That is so true about setting the table and it being a storage too...Christine
ReplyDeleteWe love our Sears gas range...Your new one looks great, and I'm happy for you with your new stove and your new console table.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is one super nice stove!Congrats! And love your console table as well!
Have a great day!
COOKING? What's that?
ReplyDeleteOh have happy happy meals with your new-bee Oven my friend.
Now your cooking with gas? Did anybody say that yet?
BTW how many bodies did you have to bury when they came through that door, and saw all that raspberry pink? LOL I haven't carried any"body" out yet!!
Don't you just hate putting those darn things together? That's why I do not like ( I was going to say hate, but that's a bad word) IKEA stuff and now Home Depot I guess... go figure.
Love Claudie

There is nothing like the thrill of a new range.I managed on a cooker similar to your old one,then i invested in a large range,i was so happy with it i cooked non stop for a week.The family told me to stop as i was going mad,they were getting fed up ( excuse the pun )of stews,pies,roasts and cakes,plus the freezer was packed full.I have had this range for two years now and it was a good investment.Happy cooking.
ReplyDeletehappy cooking to you!!!
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will have some nice things brewing on there in no time.

ReplyDeleteLove your new stove, I prefer gas myself... that is about the only thing I wish I had in my kitchen right now. We looked into changing over to gas, but it was too expensive.
ReplyDeleteYour table is pretty.
Cece
I'm jealous of your new stove--looks great! Also love your blog name. :-)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new stove. Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thanks for your sweet comment.
Allison
Is it a sin to covet thy neighbors oven? Well, if it is call me a sinner b/c I adore your oven!! Great post.
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, waaaaaayyyy better!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME new stove. I am sure you will get your use out of it! Your new console table is very pretty too!
ReplyDeleteLove your stove. I will have to be picking out new appliances with my kitchen re-do starting in Jan. I would love to have gas but since these's no gas lines on our road so I have to settle for electric. I'm doing stainless too. Do you find it fingermarks easily. Someone told me that, especially about a big fridge.
ReplyDeleteTalk about coming late to the party. LOVE the stove - LOVE IT!!!! Hey I can fix that white cord thingy -- don't need my son for that. The console is lovely. We have a TV console in the back of our truck from Home Depot just waiting for the basement to be finished. I hope it looks half as nice as your console.
ReplyDeleteI love your stove!!! After the storm we just had (in VA) I want, no need a new gas stove. My electric just wont cut it in a power outage!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty your new stove is girl...and I love gas so much better for cooking...I can't get gas on my mountain top so had to get electric but I still love my stove also...waited 6 years to get the one I wanted...Love your new cabinet you have been a busy lady...Was this part of your Christmas present ha ha!! May you have many Blessings on your side of the mountain my friend....Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteI love the pumkin candle holders.
ReplyDeleteGeez Lori. . .took me four years to get to the bottom of your comments...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful home...stove...pictures....etc.
Wow...now THAT's a Stove, by Golly! Looks so hi-tech! I know you are loving cooking on it. I much prefer gas stoves, too. Love your new console...perfect in that spot. Those lit pumpkins are soooo cute! And I didn't touch the doors...I resisted peeking inside. :-)
ReplyDeleteLori, thanks for your visits...you always brighten my day!
Susan
Hi Lori,
ReplyDeleteOMG...I LOVE your new stove! You will be cooking up a storm now. Nothing beats cooking on a gas stove.
What a great job putting your console together. It looks fantastic! Love the little pumpkins too!
~Karen
I would probably sleep next to the new stove for a few weeks:) I absolutely love to get a new toy in my kitchen too. I prefer to cook with gas. Enjoy your new toy and the table is great but I am bad with reading directions that have screws so I could never come and help with the doors:) I always find I am missing one screw or else I end up with one too many and wonder where in the world it was suppose to go.
ReplyDeleteJoyce
Wow the stove is beautiful--do you still let your son use it for late night pizza?!
ReplyDeleteOMG, What a GREAT LOOKING STOVE! I WANT ONE!!!!! But maybe I should get cooking more often first. But ... I would still like a stove like yours!!
ReplyDeleteAnd great job on the console table!
FAB new stove!!! Happy cooking!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog name, I love your blog. I love you for coming over to Pajamas and Coffee and commenting. Just here to share the love! Hope to see you again soon!
ReplyDeletexoxo
Beautiful appliance. Great console table. I love your style.
ReplyDeleteGood grief Lucy, look at all these comments. I am jealous of your new stove. It's gas. I had to get the smooth top electric because there is no gas here, and what a job it is to keep it shining. I love your new table. Pretty spiffy. Now you are going to tell me that you will be getting Christmas presents too. Spoiled I tell you.
ReplyDeleteXO Lucy
Lori...I LOVE your new stove...Lucky Girl!! Enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

The oven is fabulous - all shiny and new! I also love the pumpkin candle holders. The photo without the flash is lovely.
ReplyDeleteChelsea
