    There has got to be some sort of Steampunk looking built-in oven somewhere in NYC, or at the very least ,some Steampunker you could sweet-talk into giving you tips on how to faff about with things to make one. bundles of

    Also, I am thisclose to driving halfway across the country to take those wee bundles of perfection off your hands. I wonder how they’d do on a very long ride in the car?

      To clarify my comment, I know you are not doing Steampunk, but perhaps you could some person(s) who is/are, and get pointers on how to modify the built-in.

    So glad the kitties were able to help Paul with the laser thingie. I’m sure he couldn’t have done it without them.

    Does the electric then get drilled through the floor (from the basement?) up through the leg? We DEF need that drill bit!

    When you first mentioned your ventless design I thought you were…well…”touched” as they say. But I have been living without a vent hood for at least six months and its not THAT bad. So for what it is worth, in my humble opinion, you will be fine. (Maybe consider some sort of a wall exhaust fan.)

      I agree — I do a lot of cooking — I have a working ha attic fan but I do have a vent fan — but it is a newer design not cut through the ceiling or wall —

    My husband paints cars for our local Cadillac dealership and has been painting cars for going on 30 years. Your oven can be painted whatever color you want. You could do it yourself (I don’t recommend that) or find someone local that’s talented. It wouldn’t be too expensive either. Good luck!

    Ha,,,I loath upper cabinets so remodeling and bam no uppers — makes no sense to me all they are used for is crap we forget we have if we can reach them — thinking outside the box is making things into something bigger — whoever said it can not be done hmmm I challenge that thought process.. Good job btw

    I’m sure you realize that oven is only 24″. Trust me, that’s too small. I’m no great cook, but I’d need to be able to fit a turkey in there in case I’m ever cornered into hosting Thanksgiving dinner.

    That is a remarkably attractive oven. Black is a color. If the oven is your only black appliance, that’s how it will read. Plus, the piano is black, isn’t it? And the chrome or stainless steel knobs and handle will relate to your stainless steel refrigerator. IMHO, it will work.

    As for the 24” oven, I’ve been living with 19” ovens for six years, since my French stove was installed, and I manage with very few issues. I can even cook a turkey in them—although not a 24-pounder—and you don’t even cook turkeys. You’ll be fine

      IMHO, any turkey bigger than 12 lbs. is not tasty anyway. Just make two if you need that much. And I spatchcock mine – cuts the time way down! And all of it is browned. YUM.

    I agree with Katherine…that oven could be painted any color by a professional. I also saw on a blog where someone had a vinyl wrap made to fit her oven. Quick google: https://abeautifulmess.com/2016/09/how-i-recolored-my-kitchen-appliances.html.

    That oven is so inexpensive! I wonder if you can have an auto body place paint it?

    You have an amazing knack for finding the most unique and attractive things. It must be a sort of GFT stunning appliances radar- and a husband who has to be unique in all the world,maybe the solar system. I have not forgotten spectacular ear bobs and that diaphanous blue skirt. Can’t wait for the reveal but I’m afraid we will have to harass you about next super duper effort house wise.

    Take the oven to an auto body shop and have it painted any color you want. I vote for Aubergine. (ps this is the kind of post I come here for! Thanks)
