Better Red

Published by at 3:46 pm under Uncategorized

Sadly, Santa did not see fit to bring me a Barbie (there’s always next year!), but he did bring me a shiny new microwave. OK, I ordered it and it arrived right after Christmas, but I can think of myself as Santa’s personal shopper if I want to. A girl can dream (or totally lose her grasp on reality; you decide).

When I went shopping for a microwave, I was surprised by how expensive they are. So this was the both the cutest and cheapest I could find, because if I have to look at something every day, it had better be cute (even men would agree with me on this point). You can see that it is indeed quite cute, and goes very nicely with the coffeemaker (pictured) and the vintage radio (not). I’ve had it for over a week now and have yet to kill it, which is quite encouraging. Maybe new appliances have a longer life expectancy than the old ones did. Even with the Suzy Factor.

This post brought to you by our friends the parentheses (and a little caffeine).

    Hey, we have that Ikea microwave stand! BTW, the microwave and coffee maker look ( RED ) branded.

    I got it at a yard sale, so was spared the horrors of Ikea. I didn’t even know it *was* Ikea! 🙂

    I actually have a (RED) iPod I bought in Manhattan a couple of years ago. And guess what color my car is?!

    Love the red! Don’t understand why so many appliances are so ugly and boring. Now you just need one of these in red: http://bigchillfridge.com/site/

    I love it! I’ll take a matching dishwasher, too! 🙂
