Our story so far: We scored an amazing Craig’s List deal on a display kitchen that, with a little improvisation, would fit perfectly in the church we were converting into a home.

And we wheedled the sellers out of the stainless steel two-drawer dishwasher on display with the cabinets for half price. It was a two-drawer dishwasher designed for empty nesters; one could wash a few dishes in one drawer (which saved precious water) or a lot of dishes in both drawers. We also bought the bar stools around the island for $75 each. We were thrilled.
