though i do appreciate your opinion rene, we still don't want that darn stovetop in there!
re comments by donna and vickie, that is exactly what we thought as well - we have boxed and labeled the stovetop incase we ever do sell and it is wanted. with that said, we are treating our
boler as we have our home: do whatever the heck we want cause its ours! we are fairly unconcerned about resale at this point. we aren't 'restoring' our girl, we are giving her some character and making her suit our family's camping needs. i'm still monkeying around with the countertop btw, will post pics of what i end up doing once i'm done!
