R.I.P. Little Yellow Oven

by This is Carrie on October 12, 2008

This oven was original to our 1950’s house. The top oven never worked great and the bottom oven never worked at all. Even so, we grew to love that little yellow oven over the past year since we purchased our home. I worked so hard to integrate it’s random yellow color into our (also random) black, aqua and white kitchen.

But now the oven has officially died. Not a replacement part to be found. I am so sad. Especially because all the yellow accents in our kitchen seem so strange now and DH doesn’t like the idea of me getting near our shiny new oven with a can of yellow spray paint.

I don’t blame him.

1980s.

Same problem though – they can’t find an oven that will fit in that space.
