When I first saw it, it was love at first sight. It was sleek. It was shinny. It was bold and it was original. I had a crush. And this was no ordinary crush, this was a crush on a major household appliance. You see I had just laid my eyes on the Sub Zero Wolf ———– fridge. Then I learned more about what it could do and I was even more hooked.

Now, like anything bright, new, and stunning, it was way above my price range. You see we were in the middle of the biggest renovation project we had ever done and I felt like I was spending money like water and everything seemed to triple as we neared completion. So I really needed to prioritize the things that were left to complete. I researched, I wrote lists, I thought long and hard about how we spend time in my home and more importantly how we spend time in the kitchen. For me it was worth the investment. I would rather spend less money on tiles and counter tops, floors and lights, and more on my appliances because I cook, and I cook a lot. As a working mother I grocery shop no more than once a week so my fridge is the keeper of nearly all the food my family will consume for several days. I felt that the investment in keeping our food fresh and tasty was money well spent.

I recommend that everyone, when redoing a room or an entire home, ask yourself several questions about how and where you spend the most time in your home. Then when choosing where to spend your hard earned cash you will hopefully splurge in the right places and on the right things. Because although I am still paying off the Mac Daddy of all fridges it is a check I write without regret as it truly provides a priceless service to our busy lifestyle.
