much better. The color scheme is now a more original one, since the house was built in the mid 70s. My grandmother used this same color scheme for the kitchen of a house they built in that era. Also the dishwasher is now built in.

Against all advice, I got the green stove from my uncle. Turns out it's actually a very good stove. Since the cabinets were vintage 70s, and the stove was, it was time for a redo. Here's the before, with the old stove, old washer, and dishwasher still a portable.[this post was last edited...

That's it!!! I knew someone would know the stove I was talking about! I was starting to convince myself I had imagined the thing. Now if only someone could find one. If any member has one, or knows where one is, I would make it worth their while to help me get it. Even if I had to pay...

As a teenager I attended a local methodist church, out in the middle of nowhere. It was a large church for the time and the area, and well outfitted for when it was rebuilt in the late 1950s following a fire in the original building. In the church kitchen, they had a vintage BOL frigidaire...

Good luck Launderess! That dryer and stand is a sweet deal, it would be a good price even if it was just for the stand.

dare I say it.. Before I gave up, I would be tempted to use job weld on the oven cracks and holes. Not the liquid goop type, the putty type. The putty type comes in a tube about the size of a roll of quarters, you knead it a bit, until the 2 colors are mixed, then mold it to repair any area...

using both dryers. . I actually considered that, there's no low heat setting on the compact dryers, so it would give me a way of drying knits and delicates easier. The only issue is space. The dryers can't be stacked as I planned due to a cabinet over the washer and dryer being a few inches...

and why did I buy all 3 you ask? Well, oddly enough, even though there are 2 dryers, one being 110 volts and one being 220 volts, and all 3 of them are obviously of rather different ages, they all came from the same house. One does hate to break up a family after all, lol. The guy at the shop...

Lady Kenmore close up This one's control panel is in the best condition, practically pristine.

and the 110 Lady Kenmore dryer. Not sure where this little guy will go, his current location next to the fridge is very much in my way.

whirlpool dryer close up.. The control panel has some over spray from a previous owners spraypaint, but other than that it's in great condition. This was a surprising find, I had heard of, but never seen a 220 volt portable dryer before. It works much faster than the 110 versions, as it's...

money shot.. Compared to the huge washers everyone expects nowadays it seems so small, but for an obsessive load sorter like myself, it's perfect.

a close up of the washer.. The washer is a direct drive, dual action agitator.

As promised in another thread, here are pics of the portables I picked up the other day when someone beat me to the 1-18's. First off, the Kenmore portable washer, paired with the Whirlpool 220 volt portable dryer. Both are on casters, and I have the sink converter kit for the washer tucked...

beat to the punch.. Someone beat me to the 1-18's, apparently they sold first thing this morning. All is not lost though, I got a great direct drive kenmore portable, 110 lady kenmore portable dryer, and the elusive 220 whirlpool portable dryer. Once they are unloaded and cleaned up I will...

I have the chance to buy a frigidaire 1-18 set. We haven't settled on a price, as these were pretty rare in this area, so I know nothing about them. The bed of nails filter is missing from the washer, and there is a half moon shaped crack the jetcone. From what I have read on the site I'm...

Pretty but.. For myself I would have kept the yellow range and had the yellow dishwasher. I just love how yellow pops in your kitchen. Though I love pink against pale green and cream or even wood.

and as a bonus.. The added bonus of this diet? Even though I smoke like a chimney, I'm aging far better than my "healthy" siblings, who don't smoke, slather everything in margarine, eat low fat diet sugar free snacks by the box full, etc. I am the oldest, I just turned 29. My brother and...

butter and cream. Most people I know are rather horrified by my diet, I eat terribly rich things, cook with real butter and cream, use real cream in my coffee, etc. When I point out what I eat is far more natural, they ask about calories. I say the French had it right, a small serving of...
