I took time today to head up to Vaughan today to check out the suggested big appliance showroom located there. Yeah, even though possession is still on April of next year I was told to go there and get measurements for the stove that I want. See, I’m planning on upgrading to a slide-in range, and for that to be accepted they need the measurements when I finalize the upgrades so that they know how much to cut from the counter top. To me, it seems ever so slightly ridiculous because I won’t be sure whether the model I want now will still be available or have the same dimensions when it actually comes time to buy the darn thing. Now, I’m not even required to buy anything at the moment, so really this trip was for exploratory purposes.
Anyway, I was sort of in awe of everything in the showroom. So many choices! I went in with stainless steel appliances in mind. See, the condo comes with five appliances. They’re plain white and pretty basic. I sort of want to go the stainless steel route just for the sake of making it all look rich, you know? It also increases resale value when it comes time for all of that. By going to that showroom place, I’m getting decent credit for those white appliances if I upgrade them.
All in all, I don’t think I need to touch the washer/dryer since that part is pretty tucked away anyway, right? So that leaves the fridge, stove, and dishwasher. For stainless steel, I wasn’t expecting to really go far over $2500. Hoooly crap was I wrong. I think I was seduced by all of the showroom glam. I sort of gravitated over to the Kitchen-Aid appliances which…yeeeah. They’re expensive, and yet, so very very nice.
*SIGH*
I can’t directly afford it all right now…but I will be able in the future when I actually need to buy the darn things. So, I’m not entirely scared of drowning yet. However, man, it’s just adding yet another thing to the pile of expenses that I need to consider for this whole thing.
