I cut out this section of the crown moulding in an inconspicuous place above the cabinets. This is what we need to match in the new kitchen.

2010 - The Viking cooktop looked good, but it's engineering and construction does not justify the Viking reputation. It's days are numbered.

2010 - The SubZero refrigerator was supposed to impress buyers, but we knew better. We would be moving and then replacing it before long.
