Out with the old in with the new!

For those of you who don't know, Clay and I live in a house owned by the church where Clay works.  It is a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom nearly 2000 square foot house built in the 70's.  We have done quite a bit of work on the house in the nearly 4 years we have lived here.  They include painting, taking off and painting all trim, painting cabinets, new carpet, new tile, new hardware etc.  As seen in the pictures below, the house still has the original stove, oven, and hood from when the house was built.  The tiny oven worked but it didn't cook thoroughly.  (Ex. When baking blueberry muffins the bottoms would burn and the tops would not be cooked or vice versa.)  The stove had 4 burners - 3 small and 1 large.  Only 2 of the small ones worked.  A gracious couple from our church noticed the appliances before we even lived there.  They donated money to replace them!!  Here are the before pictures:

And here are the after pictures!  Notice in the original pictures that the stove and over were separate.  In the new pictures the stove and oven are in one piece which meant the area where the original oven was has been converted to cabinets and the cabinets below the stove were cut out to make room for the new oven.  


We LOVE our new appliances!  It is great to have water boiling in 5 minutes instead of 20!  We are so thankful!
