1. No more washing and rinsing in a single-bowl sink. The new dishwasher is loaded with new dishwasher-safe hard-anodized cookware, which saves hand-wash time.

2. The Scotts' new sink is an extension of the solid-surface countertop, which means there are no rims to clean around. And yes, it has two bowls, just in case Bill feels like washing dishes the old-fashioned way.

3. The side-by-side refrigerator/freezer was selected with storage in mind. This model has adjustable shelving and door bins to let the Scotts create their own storage arrangements.

4. A second oven is Cathy's favorite feature of the new kitchen. An amateur baker, she hopes to start a home-based baking business.

5. A countertop breakfast nook corrals the toaster and coffeemaker.
