BBBH has long dreamed of a stainless steel kitchen. Stoves in this category are not four or five hundred bucks. But she found a really nice one, two ovens and all that sort of thing. Wants it. But wait! One cannot have a stainless stove without matching the other three appliances to it; and now you see where this is going.
The dishwasher and the microwave, too, had to be replaced. We now have a garage full of kitchen appliances that still work, but have no job.
Go figure.
It will be interesting to see how long I can hold off the "need" for totally unnecessary new countertops.

The stainless steel will keep your wife so busy keeping it clean that she'll never have time for nonsense like replacing countertops.
Don't let your BBBH visit the New York Renovator blog. Rebecca just installed butcher block counter tops. They look great.
Wow- that's quite a project. I'm just praying that our appliances keep working. Paid $300 to get my stove fixed this summer, but I like it.
Jim-- "...a consummation devoutly to be wished."
Chuck-- Thanks for the suggestion; but I can't keep her from watching HGTV.
Shark-- That you like it is what is important. Spouse allows it may take a while to learn to cook all over again!
I hate stainless steel and granite counter tops - I have them, not my choice, you can spend your entire life trying to keep them reasonably clean - kitchens should be as low maintenance as possible - carefree kitchen days are over -
OUCH! I feel your pain, Vanilla! I know stainless is all hip and cool, but what a pain to keep clean! I'm really hoping my white appliances come back into fashion soon.
On another note--I LOVE the two-ovens. We have one of those and we use the little one on top ALL the time! It is a great invention.
Grace-- I fear that you are right... as you usually are!
Lin-- It is win-win for BBBH inasmuch as I agreed long ago to do kitchen cleanup if she'd do the cooking. Oh, that top oven is wonderful! I've been the beneficiary of its produce several times since it was installed.
WOW!!!
Vee-- Yeah, even my spouse gets what she wants sometimes.
