Thanks! Posted the laundry questions there, too.

I am really liking how bread and veggies turn out in my Bluestar wall oven.

And don't forget the sink. Prepping in the sink saves a lot of clean up time.

Kristin - did you end up going with this appliance setup you described? Are you moved in? A number of your selections are the same as what I looking for in an upcoming kitchen remodel and would love to get some feedback on them! In particular the Bluestar induction cooktop, the Frigidaire fridge and freezer, and the ventahood. I'm pretty good on dishwasher choice (Bosch 800) and still all over the place with the wall oven/microwave options but hoping to nail down my other choices so I can stop getting distracted :D

We are not in yet, but we've made some changed to the plan. We're doing the Miele ovens and dishwashers, at which point we discovered we'd save a significant amount by doing the Miele induction, as it means we can do a Miele package. While I still prefer the Bluestar, I don't prefer it enough to make it worth the extra cost. Once we chose the Miele cooktop, we decided to switch to the Miele vent hood insert, which syncs to the cooktop. We're doing the Electrolux version of the fridge/freezer, as we like the interior better. And still a Sharp microwave drawer.

That all sounds wonderful. You will love induction. I am in a similar spot with respect to my ski house. I had planned for a 60" Bluestar. I want it very badly, but it turns out we would need to go with propane, which is really a bummer, so a Miele induction seems to be the logical choice.
