Yuppers! Mine was b/w with a few chips but it still worked great! You are also very correct about the yups. They turn their noses up at the white models, who knows why.

I've been thinking abour doing just what you mentioned. We have a Durango with a hitch and can get a trailer so it would be no problem to go get one,. Even if it's in poor cosmetic condition I bet I could get it looking and workd great with little ofr no problem.

Kitchen renovation has been ongoing for about a year at a smail's pave but it looks like this fall we'll be getting things together. It's a SMALL kitchen but I"m kicking around the idea of opening up a wall and a a brick fireplace. The stove could fit where the fireplace is and there would still be some of the brick left for ambiance. I think it would look great.

Don't enven think to ask what we're considering for a sink, hehehehe. Basically it will be in front of a window but the bottom of the window is below the sink. I'm thinking of usig a siblge tub kind of affair, maybe a copper tub but probably a rectangle granite or some synth material with the space between the window and sink taken up by a planter.

I know it sounds strange but I've seen something similar and really liked it. Now it's just getting the time to do it. Wife and I like to do everything ourselves but recently that's getting to be a bit much.

Try this - if you’ve got a University in your area, see if they’ve got ‘re-use’ center open to the public. I picked up three 2’X 3’X 1-1/4” slabs of soapstone countertop for nothing. I’m going to make a sink out of it with a drain board side. The only tooling I need are the carbide bits for a router and the epoxy glue to hold the joints. Purchased, something like that would cost thousands. Your’s for the taking and making!

Speaking of sinks. When you buy the faucets, go with Kohler. They are the best for the money, and every single part has a lifetime guarantee, with the nicest customer service I have ever encountered.

We bought a shower from them, and when my husband was installing it, a small tab broke off. It was totally his fault, but instead of replacing the whole thing I called Kohler and explained the situation. I actually told her that my husband had broken the tab because he had misread the instructions and thought he was supposed to (HA HA, he will never live this down), I asked her about the possibility of replacing the part, and she said "no problem, I will send it out today". After asking for the price (after all it was not a product defect, just a husband defect), she said "no, even if it was his fault, it shouldn't have happened". We got the part, overnight mail (again at no cost) and installed the rest of the shower the next day.

That day, Kohler made themselves a customer for life (not to mention the many people I have told the story too).
