very cool.....like the accents added to the dishwasher to make it blend in...
also like the little touches of red and other accessories around the kitchen/laundry......
especially cool having the laundry next to, and blended into the kitchen.....even the water heater is a nice touch for a vintage home.....

I Really Like It!
This is not too far off the direction I'm heading; I'm in a 1950 tract house. My collecting interests are a little different; I have a lot of '60s and '70s stuff like Corning Ware, Corelle and Betty Crocker silverware. But this is very appealing to me.
I have exactly the same modified Tudor archway that you have to the right of your fridge; mine is between my living room and kitchen.
I hugely envy you those marbleized red countertops, with their metal edging. It looks like you went to a fair amount of trouble to save them, putting in a sink that did not make it necessary to alter them unnecessarily. One of the things I dislike most about my own kitchen is that the original countertops have been replaced with post-formed ones.
My hat is off to you - you've really done a great job both collecting things and putting them to appropriate uses.

Well, I am stunned. Just stunned.
Stunned is the only way to describe how...stunned I am!

Joe:
I'm impressed - Launderess don't stun easy!
I'm also impressed that you understand simplicity; most people today don't. Today's thinking is, "Why would you settle for less when you could have more?" You obviously understand the idea that people got along perfectly well back then with much less than most people think of today as the minimum.
Again, great work!

WOW! A walk into the past! AMAZING!!!!
Your kitchen looks great. How did you manage to come up with the idea to accessorize your DW to help it blend in? First time I've ever seen a stove with red controls. The red micro...than there's Kirby with his red accents!! Your color scheme is phenomenal.... everything co-ordinates. Can only imagine the amount of time you've spent on getting this pulled together.
Absolutely love the mason jar lamp next to the kitchen sink.
Then there's the laundry room...Maytag heater and wringer...poor lil bugeye Kenmore doesn't have any red accents...lol but I'm sure it's loved just as much.
{Pattin' my chest, trying to stop the palpitations, ya givin' me the vapor's}
;-) lmao

The dishwasher was black to begin with. I took it apart and painted it white. Got a vintage Frigidaire emblem and a Frigidaire stove handle along with chrome accents and crest at the bottom.
Things like this just come to my mind when I think and then I put it together.
Thanks so much!!
I am so glad everyone likes my work so far.

Takes one back to a simpler and more innocent time. Truly Amazing the detail.
