Speak Up Sonny

Wow - great blog and love the pictures.  Do you hve any advice for someone who needs new appliances NOW but is hoping to do a kitchen renovation in the next year? 


 Sorry - just read your comment more closely - you need appliances NOW but want to completely renovate later.  That's always tough.  Particularly if you want to change things - for example, if you have a range now, but would rather have a cook-top and double oven...or, you have a 30" range today, but want a 48" range after the full renovation.  

If that is the case, you might think about buying affordable but good appliances today, and know that you will sell them when you start your renovation.  Appliances sell fairly well through classified ads and online sales.  Or, you could investigate a few minor alterations that allow you to fit your new prefered applaicne configuration in the existing kitchen.  But be careful, those costs add up - new appliance configurations often mean new wiring, cabinet and countertop alterations etc....

If you are comfortable with your configuration, then you should be safe to simply buy new appliances today, and know that you are going to re-use them when the time comes to renovate.

Hope that helps.
