Hope you get many years hassle-free enjoyment from your new Christmas kitchen.

p.s., I'll keep you posted if my Maytag latch bites the dust.
There is even more to the story of the cream colored cabinets I chose. I was trying to go as light as possible for my kitchen, but it turns out those are kinda hot right now. I had no idea I was so hip. All I wanted to do was get a lighter look. (The floor is hardwood, and I was after contrast, too.)

And also, over in a corner of one of the places we looked, I saw what sure looked like an avocado green front-load washer. It was a little lighter than avocado. The salesperson told me the color is called "Chai" and don't you just love it.......now, if only I could find somebody to give me just the right kind of shag haircut I had back then, I would be all set for fitting into the 21st Century...... I wonder what the shag haircut is called these days..... Maybe it is out there somewhere.......But I digress.....and really have to stop passing by this computer and looking in at TOTV today.
