I've talked a little about the kitchen, hitting the low-lights, but let me dig a little deeper and tell you the oh-so-frustrating story of my refrigerator.
On a warm summer day (yes, we do have those in Minnesota), I moved in to my little piece of Urban heaven. My furniture was in place, boxes were piled in the 2nd bedroom for safe hiding and I loaded up the fridge with food. When I returned after a weekend at the lake, I found the fridge had slow cooked all of my groceries sitting at a balmy 87 degrees. The food went into the trash and off to the appliance store I went.
My new fridge arrives, new food is purchased and I go on my way.
If only it were so easy...
But the 2nd fridge didn't work either! Fortunately, this time I didn't load it up with food, so my loss was minimal. A quick call to the appliance store and I believe a new fridge will be at my door sooner than later. Wrong again! Due to an address mix up that "could not be fixed while an order was still in process," it took three weeks to get a working fridge delivered. When the new one showed up, it fit through the 1911 doorway, but not into the space reserved for the fridge in the kitchen.

| My refrigerator in the 'freezer using' position |
After a month or so without a working refrigerator, I decided to keep what I had knowing plans of a remodel are in my near future. In the meantime, I have to push and pull the fridge into place, depending on if I want to get in the freezer or get out my kitchen door. I'm looking at it as extra security... but redoing the kitchen and finding the fridge a home sure would be nice.
Three weeks without a fridge? That's definitely tough. So, are you done with the kitchen redo? Well, that's a lovely fridge you have. Having a stainless steel finish guarantees you clean and flossy exteriors all the time. I'd love to see how your kitchen looks like now.
