Vintage Kitchen

So many of you commented about seeing the vintage kitchen at 1515.

Thought maybe I better give you a tour?
And a view of some of the vignettes for Table Top Tuesday.

My table, that came out of the garden cottage

Each cousin has their own chair and vintage pillow

Top of the old radio cabinet I bought for $25

great place for cookbooks and storage

chickens kind of rule the roost around here

chalk for the chalkboard door

Looking from the dining room to the kitchen

the left is the chalkboard door for family members to write notes

my Grandmother's aprons hanging on the wall

My maternal grandmothers enamel top table that always sat in her garage.

Now it sits in my paternal grandmother's kitchen, the crock, cookie jar and grinder all returned to 1515 where they came from.

We have been collecting the crotched potholders

My grandparents coffee grinder on the shelf

Grandad's coffee can, returned to 1515

aprons we use

new shelf above stove

metal bread box and cannister set

Can not resist kitchen metal ware

Now for 3 views

This what the kitchen looked like when I bought 1515

Which do you like better?

I love this kitchen

red white black yellow

I must of forgotten that the walls were yellow and the

curtains were red and white checked.....just like they are now

That is my Grandfather, my cousin Deb, myself and my

Grandfather's wife

There is something so special about making meals in that kitchen.

Whether it is the cousins sitting around the table in the morning drinking coffee,

a dinner party for the extended family or our big Christmas dinner, it is the

center of our universe when we are there.
