This may sound stupid and mundane but the fact that I was able to buy this puppy without having to dig deep into my bank account or get myself into debt, that is for me an amazing feat.
I have been slowly getting my financial things in order and recently stumbled over this colour fridge. I didn't know you could but other colours because I never looked into the things. I was using an old battered fridge that belonged to my grandma which she bought at the end of the 80's. The brand doesn't even exist anymore. The fridge was loud and the sealing rubbers degraded to gross black mouldy things. Energy efficiency was not a thing people worried about back then.
I decided I needed a new one but having no savings, it's hard. I set myself up to save every month an amount and that was depleted after my cat had to see the vet in the weekend.
This fridge isn't just a new fridge. This apparatus stands for the fact that I am able to look into the future and set myself up for things that need replacing. I am almost 40 years old, I never had savings. Lived day by day and always ended up with a part of month left after the money was gone. This can die in usersub, I don't care, I am just stupidly happy with my fridge and with myself.
Edit for anyone wondering about the stove top and who wants to look inside:

Deadset thought the brand was "Wolfenstein" for a minute. Nice fridge! I get where you are coming from too.

It is BEAUTIFUL! Congrats on your adulting at 40; you aren’t alone. I’m 60 & only recently getting my financial s**t together. Doesn’t... /1

...matter WHEN, it matters that you’re DOING IT NOW; it feels so good one little good step at a time. Mistakes? It’s all just research! /2

I love your beautiful red refrigerator! Stuff that thing with goodies and enjoy the hell out of it!!!
Woestkonijn
Yeah better late than never. My parents were poor, we never had savings and they never taught me. It's a process.
ABirdWalkedOnMyPillow
Wow! Beautiful. Lovely, happy, but comfortable and stylish. 5/7 perfect kitchen.

Wolkenstein? ... Change that k to f. ^^
Woestkonijn
Was wondering that too.
squintish
And the great thing with buying a new fridge is you are saving so much energy.
Woestkonijn
Yes! I have a new thermostat and it's digital and I could see the electricity peak when the fridge turned on.
VinnyVeritas
Beauty fridge. Just so you know - many, many of us have been - or are - in the same situation but never talk about it.

I love those two colors together, light blue and orange red. I automatically feel happy.

Ithinkweneedhelicopters
There's a company named Smeg that sells fridges just like that for big bucks. Good find, my man!
imguranium
There’s a new Canadian company called iio that sells a fridge that looks exactly like this. I think the starting price is $2000 Cdn.
ParallelParkingInABurka
Oh wow, that's a lot. These cost around €400 in Germany, and they get good reviews.

I, too, choose this man’s fridge.
kittykat25909
I have so many questions.. whats up with your stove? where are the burners? whats the red thing over the fridge? why is your kitchen so cute
kittykat25909
and tiny with lovely blue walls and charming tiles? just..where is this??
Woestkonijn
I like in the Netherlands and this is just a regular housing flat. The tiles are a vinyl with print!
kittykat25909
It's adorable and I love it. congrats on the fancy fridge!
Woestkonijn
Stove has a lid I put down for this, red thing is an expansion vessel for my central heating, I don't know why it is so cute! I am>
Woestkonijn
Surprisingly good at decorating a house.
Waitihavesomething4this
Man no wonder Americans are fat, our fridges are like twice that size
burlyqlady
And everything else is bigger as well. Doorways are really small abroad too. Have to turn sideways if you're really big.
Woestkonijn
I think this is the biggest fridge I have ever owned.
LullabyJones
That is the sexiest fridge I have ever seen
ivvarish
That's a really hot fridge! Hope it doesn't affect the coolness inside. But don't worry, its also really cool!
LullabyJones
Hee hee. I see what you did there.
thrashingcows
And that name is sexy too!! Well done OP..
harshm5772
It certainly is the James Bond of all the fridges. Well done to the gentleman.
Woestkonijn
Exactly my thoughts.

That's very creepy. Don't fuck the fridge. And OP saved for this fridge. Let's be respectful.
LullabyJones
What if @FuckThatUsernameIsTaken makes love to that sexy sexy fridge instead?

Gotta ask OP's permission and take it out to dinner first. Can't just fuck nilly willy.

This kitchen looks so Dutch
Woestkonijn
Good guess.
Atomsk
Ik dacht al. Je kunt het gasfornuis en koelkast beter omdraaien trouwens. Een koelkast naast de radiator is niet ideaal.
Woestkonijn
De verwarming in de keuken staat nooit aan. Het is nooit koud genoeg daar.

I look at titles AND usernames since the times of @ANewBadlyPhotoshoppedPhotoofMichaelCeraEveryday. Some say he still shows in user sub...

Wolkenstein = Cloudstone. Sounds like a more badass name for hail. "Oh no, my car got wrecked from cloudstones!"
Woestkonijn
I am going to use that from now on.

You've got a sexy-ass fridge. I want it.

Appliance guy from Arkansas, USA. This fridge and oven are really cool! Never seen anything like them. Any inside pics? ?
sreav
These ovens are pretty common in Europe. Are yours much different?
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Ours look pretty different. I don't think I've ever seen a home oven with covers on the burners (just on a caravan/rv). I can't tell the 1/
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
width from the photo but in the USA a standard oven is 30"/76.2cm. Not as common to see knobs on the front so kids don't touch. 2/2
Woestkonijn
I can! As soon as I am home again I can upload some. Fridge is nice and clean but the oven is quite grubby right now.
jaderock
That’s a lot of knobs on the oven!
GoodGuyGonzo
Four plates plus temperature and heating mode for the oven, looks pretty normal to me
Woestkonijn
Plus a pilot burner that acts as an automated igniter but doesn't work because my gas pressure is too high.

Is that a shrimp drawer?
YouEatYellowSnow
@op show us your shrimp!
Woestkonijn
I will definitely not. Very undignified.
ParallelParkingInABurka
What, your fridge doesn't ha e a shrimp drawer? How do you even live?
burlyqlady
I am crying
ParallelParkingInABurka
Don't cry. You, too, will one day be able to afford a shrimp drawer.
kaymon
It's like a really tall mini fridge. A skinny fridge.
ParallelParkingInABurka
Spotted the American.
LurkerOfDarkness
You reside in North America, don't you?
kaymon
I have 4 kids, a larger refrigerator is a defense mechanism.
LurkerOfDarkness
Maybe try martial arts instead?
kaymon
How do you think I managed to have 4 kids in the first place?
LurkerOfDarkness
By not being good at martial arts?
PainGwen
I do and I wish I could have chosen this fridge. The standard here is HUGE. I wanted a smaller one, but my husband did not, so ours is huge.
LurkerOfDarkness
You have one of those fat double door ones?
PainGwen
Yes, AND it has two bottom drawers, one a freezer and one a flex drawer. There’s just the TWO of us. It’s excessive.
LurkerOfDarkness
Yeah that is a bit much, when I grew up we had a fridge slightly smaller than the one pictured, but only fridge, separate freezer, it was ½
PainGwen

Woestkonijn
Oh damn! I live alone and definitely would think this is overkill.
LurkerOfDarkness
Thanks, pretty, but very dominating, like it's not your kitchen, you're just allowed inside on occasion.
DancesWithHippos
1) Awesome fridge. Good jorb. 2) that tile is swank! What are you talking about? That's legit Czech cred tile design right there.
ItsLeviOsa24601
"who looks at titles anyway"..... Not you, I guess :P
caduto11
I read it as tiles too!
Marukina
Me too, then looked at the tiles for a bit before reading the rest and realized it was never about the tiles...
Corwel
He said "titles" not "tiles" :). Got me confused as well at first.
JusticeValadez
I thought it said titties for some reason
Corwel
Some reason...
greeneggseggs
Always upvote jorbs.
DancesWithHippos
Now you could use a range or a hotplate on that oven, but that's a fight for another day. Enjoy the primo fridge.
sukkerfar
The lid is down on the stove. There's plenty hotplates under there, judging by the amount of dials.
capngoat
4 stoves and 2 dials for the oven (heat and mode).
Woestkonijn
5 burners (one pilot burner for auto ingintion) and 1 for oven, 1 push button for gas in the oven, piezoelectric thing.
sukkerfar
That's my guess too.. are the individual burners called stoves?
capngoat
I think so. I'm ESL myself, but I'd probably call them stoves.
autothotsrollout
Good Jorb!

TwoSeamer
As a Czech, I've literally never seen that tile in my life. But we are known for ceramics and glass
Woestkonijn
It's also vinyl not tile. I live in the Netherlands, I don't know where the czech vibe came from.
DancesWithHippos
Yes. You have to understand that Czech culture in America refers not to modern Czech culture but to one diaspora that settled here way back.
DancesWithHippos
Young women wear Kroje, Pivo (not nearly as good as real Czech beer) flows, constant polka music, and kolache everywhere. It's nothing like
DancesWithHippos
What Czech culture is today, I'm aware, more of a mishmash of various traditions splashed with some made up stuff. But that kind of pattern
DancesWithHippos
Reminds me of patterns we call Czech in the US.
Woestkonijn
Are you talking about the floor? Because that's vinyl. I wanted something very busy in the hall and the kitchen so I found this.
procrastinating
I love your fridge! Also feel free to give any tips about getting your financial shit together...asking for a friend ?
Woestkonijn
Make a list of all your fixed charges. Remove and unsubscribe of all unnecessary things. That's step 1 See where you can save>
Woestkonijn
Like on energy. I decided only my living room needed heating and changed lightbulbs for led ones. I put timers on the lamps that>
Woestkonijn
Are in different rooms, I changed my diet, cook everyday and make menus in the weekend and do my shopping accordingly. >
Misterdruglicious
the fridge is the perfect colour for that kitchen I am really jeally
DancesWithHippos
Ah! You're title says "title" and I read "tile." Go to bed, self, you're drunk.
giggielise
I did too! First thing I did was look at the floor- which is an awesome floor btw
ZiggyMundo
WTF...I read tiles too. I guess because the pattern is so strong.
mydogisabetterpersonthanme
I did the same - thought it was referring to the single patterned tile on the wall, just over there vibing
iMirrelephant
Wow, I read titties and scrolled down to see a empty kitchen
Salzab
Appropriate title then lol
MostlyReplyWithGifs
Yeah, good jorb! ;)
BobaFettApproves
I’d like to know about the oven ........... it has a lot of dials, but no stove tops ..... it’s confusing to look at.
Mr5anch3z
It has a lid
grumpykumquat
It probably has its lid down. Some oven models, especially gas ones have a metal lid to cover the cook top.
FroopyHood
I think the entire top is hinged to reveal the burners. I was/am confused too. Need confirmation!
Woestkonijn
Confirmed!
BobaFettApproves
That’s what my engineer brain rationalized, but it’s like Soviet erra machinery so logic doesn’t necessitate
PerplexingPeers
Metal cover is on, some european models have a metal cover with a hinge, acts as a backsplash when open.
txronin55
That's brilliant! I would love a stove top like that.
DancesWithHippos
Well, good choice.
Woestkonijn
Thank you. :D
bolobass
Als het qua aansluiting mogelijk is, de koelkast en gasfornuis omdraaien? -meer licht en ruimte op het fornuis -minder warmte op de koelkast
Woestkonijn
Helaas is dat niet mogelijk. I tried
