Stainless steel, brushed nickle, or almond color

What color are your appliances? We currently have an almond color fridge and dishwasher and an old beat up black stove. Now we have to decide what color oven to get. It's the built in wall kind and is broken. The fridge is about 10 yrs old and the dishwasher around 5.

I got one call back so far and it was a good reference. Now I just need two more and we will get started on the siding.

A new job, a new book, and soon...some new siding

I started Kite Runner this week. I haven't really gotten into it yet but I think it's because I also started a new job this week. I was at my last job for five years so starting something new has been really scary. Hopefully in a few months I will look back at this training time and laugh!

We have decided on getting the new siding done as soon as we get reference back on the company we chose. I am really excited to get this project started. Our house is so dated and looks very 80's right now. We have limestone and a really ugly baby blue trim. We will be getting hardi boards and want them painted a sage green but don't know about the color of trim. Ideas? I also want to get a new door at that time.

I have been in my house for ten years now and know that this change will be huge. So this is the plan right now...

1. Siding and trim
2. Door
3. Roof (trim trees)
4. Hardwood floors (when we get more money)
5. Remodel kitchen (when we get more money)
