Yesterday I needed some time off after last week's preparations for company then our wild and fun weekend. So I chose to do something I find very relaxing: I looked at local real estate online.
Hey, it's what I like.
And oh, I found one house I loved and the only thing really wrong with it is that there's no bathroom downstairs. A bedroom, yes, but a bathroom, no. It was adorable, in a decent location and only $54,900. (Oh, and to be clear--no, we're not considering buying this house.)
Anyway, I need to get busy around here and prepare for my Price is Right date with Sally, including making a (fake)crab and pasta salad, but I thought I'd share the kitchen photos from the aforementioned house for those of you who, like me, would love an old-fashioned kitchen like this. (The rest of you will question my sanity.)
And yeah, there's no dishwasher and the stove is off by itself (though has room for a small cabinet beside it) and some glass-fronted cupboards would be perfect above the stove for my Fiestware and a small-ish white kitchen island with a black counter top would be terrific and ----
But even with all its imperfections, I fell in love at first glimpse:
Be still my vintage-loving heart.
And now I'm off to enjoy my day and may you decide to make yours memorable!

Love it!

Cool and thoughtful, right? I am blessed.

I know what you mean by unwinding with something you enjoy! Enjoy your guest today!
ReplyDeleteOh, I could sooo live there!
ReplyDeleteOh how easy to love this adorable vintage charm! Reminds me of my Grandma's little kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to an estate sale in ages. I'll have to check my local paper and see if any are in my work area on Fridays. What a neat lunch-time treat that would be to explore. It's also time to incorporate antique shop browsing occasionally too!
I love the kitchen - so cozy and such personality. I posted a few minutes ago under my work account - can you please delete that one and post this one instead? Sheesh - I need my brain recharged.
ReplyDeleteOK - so maybe I didn't complete the post under my work Id. Do you think it's time I retire? I sure do. Sigh.
