Kitchen Renovation: Our Choice of Oven and of Range Hood

A. Maytag Gas Stove from M E N A R D S.  It was purchased because our Contractor owns an oven of this brand.  We have had to do an easy repair of a bent oven-door hinge (under warranty).

B.  Zephyr Savona Hood from A B T Appliances. Chose Zephyr because it was used by someone whose online account I follow.  The one "problem" we had with a light was an easy fix via customer service/telephone.

Kitchen Renovation: Farmhouse Apron Copper Sink

I wanted a farmhouse sink from the get-go: large in size (big enough to accomodate a shih-tzu dog if need be, lol), has an old yet modern look, and currently desirable/popular.  

This gorgeous copper farmhouse sink we found languishing on the clearance shelf at Menards fit the bill. I admit that we went back and forth on it for a little while because it was a final-sale item. We had never before owned such a large item in copper. What's wrong with it that it was returned and had already gone thru 2 markdowns?  What are copper's pros and cons? Will it last, does it clash, can our yet-unordered kitchen cabinets accommodate its size?  Glad we took the risk of spending hundreds of $$ as reading up on the subject later reassured us of copper's lasting beauty and strength.  We love it!

 Sink is by SINKOLOGY and is called Adams Farmhouse Apron Copper Sink.

In @casamidy’s home on their ranch in northern Mexico’s Sonoran Desert, each room is filled with eclectic pieces that include the couples’ designs and the work of local artisans. 🏺 One of their prized pieces? Their copper tub, a deliberate nod to the mining towns of nearby Arizona, which is nicknamed the Copper State. 🛁✨ The antique church candelabrum was purchased in San Miguel, and the towels are by @pendletonwm.

and again I say, Rejoice.
