I'm currently living in a construction zone as we remodel our 1956 kitchen. It's not fun, having workers here every day, nor do I enjoy the chaos, but I'm so looking forward to cooking and relaxing in my completed kitchen.<br />@RhondaGilmour from<br /><a href="http://latebloomingrose.com" rel="nofollow">Late Blooming Rose</a><br />Sadira Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06879842617320020500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-31847805384490758522016-04-14T13:39:36.488-04:002016-04-14T13:39:36.488-04:00That view is everything.

You do a great job! I had always had gas appliances until we moved into this house. We have a gas cook top and double electric ovens. I'm really liking the electric oven so I think your choice is perfect. One oven is also convection which I've never tried yet. Gas stove tops are my very favorite! Decisions, decisions, decisions. I think we only regret one decision we made on flooring.

How exciting to be putting your kitchen together! I miss a gas stove. I think you made a good decision going with the electric oven. I tried reading A.J. Fikry when everyone was making such a fuss about the book. Couldn't get into it. Perhaps I'll try again some day. Let us know how you like it. I'm impatient. If the first two chapters don't capture me, I usually move on.

Great answer! I would love a Keeping Room, sounds so cozy. Since moving in September I no longer have a window over my kitchen sink and miss that. I do have a wonderful view from the kitchen but have to turn my head while doing dishes to see it. If I were building my own home a great view while doing dishes would be a priority. Thanks for another week of Hodgepodge questions.
