Sparky was purchased just as soon as I finished paying off Presssssssshious the Stove. I figured I might as well keep on moving with this whole appliance binge I'm on so as to get the maximum enjoyment out of my shiny new toys. Sparky is also being paid off over the next 12 months with no interest, so I feel good that at least I can budget for these things to lessen the financial pain.
Sparky is only maybe an inch taller and wider than my old fridge - seen in profile here:
(As a side note, one thing I've learned about myself through this little blog project is how bad I am at taking "before" pictures. It's all well and good to have the "after" but if you have nothing to compare it to, that takes some of the fun out of it.)
Anyway, my point was that Sparky is not actually that much bigger than my old fridge, but seems ENORMOUS by comparison when you're just looking at it. Deciding where to put all the fun shelves and things took me quite a while, but I think I've settled on an arrangement that works for me. I contemplated taking a picture of the inside of the fridge to post here, but remembered all the ridicule I've been subjected to over the years for my fridge contents, and decided against it. Nevertheless, I will share with you that I have an entire shelf dedicated to various types of mustard. Mock away!
Anyway, I'll throw in a couple pictures to show you how nicely Sparky complements the rest of the members of the kitchen family.
And then one with the lamp included so you can see the improvement that has already been made in the space compared with the pic above. (Thank you to Ellen for the beautiful flowers gracing the table!)
Besides getting the fridge delivered, this weekend has also been exciting because I've started the bookcase painting project. I'm about halfway done as I write this - after two full days of work on it - so hopefully it won't be long before I can show you the finished product!
