As you know we are preparing to completely remodel our master bath. The last room slated for major overhaul. We knew we wanted a marble floor but was unsure of exactly what style we wanted and if we could really afford it. I wanted a basket weave and "A" wanted hex but was OK with a basket weave if it didn't look too busy. We looked at several stone stores and were very disappointed in the prices. They had wonderful stuff but at $45 a square foot (calacutta) it was way beyond our budget. We could get carrera for less but it was too gray.
Home depot had a type of marble floor they called "greecian white" and it was only 9.99sqft. With the military discount we only paid $9sqft. I am sure it is not up to the quality of $45 a sqft but it looks pretty darn good to me.
When we remodeled our kitchen we really wanted a Bertozzoni range but unfortunately could not afford it. They retail at around $2,800 and when you add the tax, delivery, installation charges it would be well over $3,000. Two weekends ago we went to a place called Fixtures Living and it was a very high end place. We could not afford much there but then we came across what they call the F.A.R.M. ( cannot remember what it stands for). Anyhoos, this was where they had discounted items and guess what we found (cue music), a Bertozzoni. After negotiating with the sales guy we got the unit, which was floor model, for $2,185. This included the price, tax, delivery and installation.
So tonight is my first meal I get to cook on the very first range that I have ever bought. Tonight's meal is broccoli and beef stir-fry, yum yum!!!

You replaced retro style range to modern and cool one. You (and A?)must be inspired for cooking.
I know you don't hate cooking.
I am always inspired to cook because I am always inspired to EAT ☺ lol
"A" says she will be inspired to cook, but so far....no.
