Steel...the Stainless kind!

Blogstalking has resumed...

Post 5 things around the house in your favorite color. Well, red is my most favorite color, and pink, and green, and blue...and on... but to find 5 things of each, was not going to happen, until the lightbulb in my brain went off!

I..um...kinda like Stainless Steel!


SS Fridge My fridge/freezer, which I love the ice/water feature on the front, but that's about it! The fridge side is just too small for our family, when it's the holidays and I want to prepare, you just have to beware when you open the door LOL! But I'm stuck til we either move or it dies....we did howevah, learn a very important lesson...MEASURE the height! We had to cut the cupboard above when we first got it, then again to have the tile placed.

SS Toaster Dualit toaster. Hubby brought this back all the way from Wisconsin! Heh! It was his first time in a W-S store (he didn't realize you could order it) so home it came with him.

SS coffee makerBunn coffeemaker! The round tube in the back holds the already hot water! So awesome early in the morning to have only a couple of minutes to get the fix!

SS switchplate covers Switchplates! I had to order these online, only because of the 4 switch one you see, no one locally had any nice ones with 4 openings. So I saw these and now all the switches and outlet covers are SS!

SS Yarn Colander Colander...or should I say Yarnlander! ;) You can also see the SS tile backsplash behind the stove, I have the same tiles behind my sink (which hide a multitude of poor installation damage done to install the sink light) Never, ever send your hubby for the final inspection when buying a house!!

So there..um.. and that isn't all, but I limited it to these 5! Oh and sorry that they aren't all polished and shiny...but, one has to have time to knit! ;)

Knitting going on!! Toothpick knitting (really topsecret knitting, will be posted in the future!), vest knitting-starting on 2nd skein and looking good, socks to be started.. and on...and on!

I love all the shiny stainless steel in your house! (And yes, it is all shiny!!!!) I had to special order switchplates too - I have a triple switch one that's an old push-button!!! You really don't find those in the stores. :) Toothpick knitting?? Hmm, could you be using size 0's like me? Please tell me you're not using something ultra-crazy like size 00!!!

I love those stainless steel fridges--but did you have it when your kiddies were little? I hear little kid hand prints show up like the devil on those things and you constantly have to wipe them down. Well if you're concerned about that kind of thing. Now that I think about it I'll just get one anyway--clean schmean!

Great color choice!

I hope you really aren't knititng with toothpicks! They are much too short!

Jessica said...

NO WAY!! You soo stole my color idea. I was thinking the same thing when I was walking around my apartment the other day. I might just do it anyways. Who knows! :D I like how you snuck yarn into your color shots!

You're taking this project spectrum thing a bit far aren't you? First the blog background, then the yarn on friday, now this. I'm sensing a trend. ;)

I did the same thing with my switchplate in the bathroom. I wish I could get a matching switch for it to match.

Now that's a good one, stainless steel.LOL
I bet the vest is looking good! Can't wait to see it.

Funny how we don't seem to decorate with our favorite colors! SS was a great choice!
