John & Colette's Adventures

We went out and bought a vent hood & backsplash this weekend. The vent hood is from Vent-A-Hood and will probably suck the cats right out of the house. We also got a stainless steel backsplash with 2 racks. We still need to do something about a duct cover above the hood (oh, the things we’ve been learning), but vent-a-hood did not have a piece small enough for our room. We’ll figure something out.

We also got a microwave and dishwasher at the same place. The microwave will be sitting in its own little spot under the island. The dishwasher will be outside by the shed. Nah, just kidding. It’ll be where our current washer is. It’s supposed to be pretty quiet and has the nice stainless steel finish.

We haven’t gotten a fridge yet. We don’t need that right away so we’re holding off awhile. The kitchen designer at home depot gave us a good tip. It seems stainless steel is very hard to keep finger prints off and she recommends a finish called ‘cleansteel’. It looks like stainless, but is easier to clean and it also can hold magnets. So that’s what we’re going to look for when we get the fridge. Gotta have a place for our cat magnets.
