I agree with you Scott, blending a few decades of mixed decor will make your home feel more natural rather than a museum space. I love the 20s,30s,40s, and recently am attracted to some very early 50's. Can't wait to see what you decide on in your kitchen!
The cruet set was like the Vinnie muffineer on the live sale.Different colours,same shape.
Hi Scott! I was there in August, too...like a sauna, but I loved looking around. The red table would be so cool in your kitchen!
😂😂😂😂salad days are here again looking at the fridge
I REEEEALLLY enjoyed this Shopping Trip! I just wish I was near by!!! Ya know?! So I could BUY!!! YOU are so entertaining while you WORK!!! 💖👵🏡. AND your choice in music is perfect🎶💃
I always love your music. I think that refrigerator was in nice shape. I had an apartment in RI that had one very like it. Along with a white metal top table trimmed in red. My most favorite kitchen! Weren’t 30s fridges the ones with the round compressor (?) on top?
I would have snapped up that "crazy" comforter! $38..definitely. Looked in good condition from here. Another nice store. Can't wait to hear about the old fridge.
Hi Scott, I love going antique shopping with you! That GE refrigerator was very cool, but I kept thinking about the drudgery of defrosting them. That was not fun! I loved the old cookstove too. So many neat things in that shop! Thanks for the tour! 🥰
Maybe he could turn the freezer function off and just use the one downstairs.
I remember my mother regularly defrosting our old fridge in the 60s. There would be towels put in the bottom of the fridge to stop it leaking onto the floor.
@@andersdottir1111 It was a very messy process!
The 20s thru 40s decor in ur bungalow sounds great to me! Love ur taste in decor and furniture, quality items! Enjoying the home progress! Thanks for ur videos, OCS!😊
My kitchen is a combo of 1910s through 1950s. I love having items from all the different decades in there
Its choosing what feels homely I think.
I love the "accumulated thru the decades" look. That is my look, I have Victorian through current in my place. Makes it look lived in and loved.
Oh my......my pick was the YELLOW kitchen table and chairs......need i say more? 😆 🤣 more antique shopping please! I could do this everyday, i must have gypsy roots in my family line. My kids adults now, love this stuff too. It was them that first took me to the antique stores.
Love the side table it will be fabulous again with your work on it! Don’t they make new frig’ s that look like 1930/40’s? I like your idea of the thru the eras look.
I think I have your “Dream” stove. I bought a 1930’s cream and green Universal stove about 25 years ago. I bought it at a neighborhood auction for $40.00. It had old wooden spoons and some old 1950’s tablecloths inside. I’ve never used it and it’s in one of the bays of my garage. It’s in great shape and they assured me it works. That thing weighs a TON! Maybe my next house will have room for it even if I don’t use it. I hope you find exactly what you’re looking for. Great videos!
Loved all the furniture in that antique mall. They have quite a selection. Was it a coincidence that you were standing in front of a aluminum Xmas tree when you spotted that refrigerator? Great little table, and thanks for the dancing feet in the mirror! 😂
Great video Scotty! ❤
Thanks for taking us along! Love the finds and the music!🙂
Quite the eclectic selection of music you got going on in this video 👍🏼love it
What a nice change in antique shopping. Thanks for mixing it up. I think decorating with a combo of periods is great. Red accents in your kitchen would work. I would just avoid a red table top. In my opinion, it wouldn’t work with your dishes and glassware. Have fun.
I enjoyed everything, especially the dancing! Thank you.
Hi! Scott. Loved the tour thru the thrift shop. I’m sorry your red chest is gone but you will find another. The ArtDeco shakers will look really nice in your kitchen. And the fridge I know you have to think over. Only downside to it is increased electricity and having a small icebox that you have to defrost all the time. But I know you will find what you want. Can’t wait for the update on your new home. It’s really coming along. You are so good at knowing what looks best. You have very good instincts. Take care and stay safe. ♥️🇨🇦
I don't know if you got the refrigerator, but it is very cool!!!! HOWEVER, as a 71 year old who had a refrigerator like that, I remember chipping away at the ice which takes over that tiny compartment you call the freezer. I know how you like things neat and tidy, and you will have to defrost the thing all the time. And there is no space! That is why our grandparents always had a deep freeze. I think a few modern conveniences blended with the old is OK. You wouldn't want to go back to a wringer washer, would you? ha ha
I love your deco table, that'll look nice! The 40s refrigerator looks like it's in great condition, too... sure would enhance a mixed eras kitchen, don't you think...?
I remember that blanket chest, they had a couple I wanted, and I was about ready to jump into my '91 Chevy Blazer S10 here in Grand Rapids and grab them. That mahogany and cherry corner cabinet was speaking to me, and I liked what it was saying. Red! Yes! Paint your backdoor a nice, warm tomato red, and take it from there. I so agree with you about a house feeling as though it's evolved over the decades. I've seen people do Craftsman bungalows until the toilet paper was Stickley, and although impressive, such places don't feel alive. Your house was born in 1925, and it's seen some life since then. Much more to come, thanks to to you, Scott.
I loved the GE refrigerator and if had a pantry to put a modern fridge in, I would have the old GE in my kitchen and used as a cupboard! But no way would I ever want to defrost it. I remember in the late 60s having to refrost a refrigerator and it always meant I had an unintentional clean kitchen floor. I love watching you work on your home, and at times I would like to sell my 1945 home and most of its contents and start over. But since I was born the same year as the house this is unlikely!
My parents first electric refrigerator, replacing an icebox on the back porch, was a GE model purchased in 1940 or 1941 soon after I was born. It was sleek on the outside, however, with the sides, top, and door all smooth and blending with curved edges. There was a tall, but shallow, drawer that covered the motor in front under the refrigerator door. It was just right for the storage of cereal boxes. The interior was the same as the one in this video. I do remember the "joys" of defrosting, because that became my job in the 50's and 60's. It was finally replaced by a more modern, bigger model in 1966, but was still going strong since it was manufactured long before "planned obsolescence" became the norm. I do not remember it ever needing repair, except for a new door seal. It was moved to the basement to store apples from our trees. Dad moved in 1968, leaving it in the house when he sold it to a neighbor.
I would bet this thing will work just with a rewire. It is often all they need- they are that well built.
I loved this video. So many great pieces of furniture. Really like the table you chose. However, don’t think that old fridge is a good idea. It’s not energy efficient. You can buy replicas of old appliances since that’s the look you’re going for. Overall I like very much what you have for the house.
On the contrary, those old fridges are more efficient because they have a simpler cooling apparatus, and no automatic defrost feature. I have a 1941 GE and a 2010 GE, and my 1941 costs less than half the juice to run than its 2010 counterpart, and they are within 10% of each other on size. Couple that with fewer moving parts and a better built chassis and shelving system and I know right where my money is at.
That’s interesting. Good to know.
I definitely like the mixed era approach to doing the kitchen. I have done a mix of 1950s and 60s fir the main fit out , plus some 70s bread box and Pyrex type pieces in my mid century house. The bench tops are an 80s refurbishment in Apple green laminate. Somehow it all works well! Only the oven and fridge are more modern (late nineties) , but they are still white white goods and not oversized industrial kitchen, perpetually finger printed stainless steel looking things!! This mix up approach does make a house look more lived in and having a sense of its own history, as opposed to a being a pure single era museum piece, or an entirely modern interior decorator and /or big box store overkill monstrosity. (Blurk!)
Buy the fridge- you know you want to! Regarding running costs and regular defrosting- for one person who won’t be nosing around in there with the door open for long periods of time (as it is for a family with teens!) - I don’t think either of these things will be too much of an issue.
Those hutches were so nice! That's a great store & your "new" side table will be beautiful in your home! 👏🏻 Can't wait to hear your thoughts on that fabulous fridge!
That was so much fun. I’m so glad I found this before I went to bed. Thank you for taking us on another adventure with you. Keep them coming Scott and I’ll keep watching. I don’t mind if it’s working in your new home we’re out and about and antiques stores or thrift shops. Safe travels home❤
"The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we all should be as happy as kings" wrote R.L. Stevenson. So true! Loved all the chrome dinette sets. Music in stores is highly distracting to me, especially when I want to bust a move to it, LOL! Thanks for the trip!
😂😂😂I agree about the music,I almost sing sometimes.Thankfully our local supermart(Tescos owned by your Walmart) has turned music the off and reduced the lighting.It saves them money on electricity and you can think clearly.They have also lowered the shelves in some areas.Not so over whelming.Individual small shops are coming back which I prefer.More specific shopping and the staff know their customers .The money stays locally invested which I prefer too.Stops towns disintergrating.Community is vital.Reduces crime,keeps families together,encourages personal care and responsibility.
I agree with you. Go back to the good old days.
While not on trend I still a love oak, especially quarter sawn. Ages so beautifully. And the wavy glass corner cab, oak headboard….❤❤❤ There is something so nostalgic about using an beautiful glass oil lamp, too. Absolutely loved this shop.
When I was a child my parents had old an Cold Spot refrigerator. I remember the door on it would close and latch like a car door (not like the soft close feature on today's models). Our poor cat got his tail caught in the door one day. The last quarter of his tail went permanently sideways, poor baby.😿. He didn't seem to traumatized, that was still his favorite place in the kitchen. He knew that's where his food was!
My parents bought a house in 1950. They had a very similar refrigerator. I think it was Fridgidare. Same kind of freezer unit. You could store 2 ice cube trays, some meat, and a couple of boxes of frozen veggies. We had it until we sold the house in 1964.
I had an old frig in my house growing up too. My dad had repairmen come in. When he finally broke down and got a modern frig. He gets the electric bill and was in shock about the energy savings. So I would say , Don’t get the old frig.😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love mixed period furniture. Not only it’s one of kind look, but even our relatives in the past had mixed furnishings. Talk about a gorgeous little table. I actually found a classic 1930s sort of waterfall design small table a couple of months ago. I love that fridge. I just love the shape and those older appliances were just the best!😃❤️
Years ago, I used to have one of those bamboo corner chairs. Don't know why I sold it, either...wish I still had it. I used to work with a man, back in the 1990s, that restored the old refrigerators. He would take the panels out of them, remove the old insulation...which was minimal, at best...and used spray foam insulation in them, (used clamps and plywood on the panels so the expanding foam wouldn't push them out as it cured), and they worked beautifully. The way the old ones were made - they were meant to last...unlike the new ones - so restoring one should give a lifetime of service. Defrosting could be a pain, but if it's done on a regular basis, it isn't too bad. The man that restored them told me that once he replaced the old insulation with the foam insulation, they actually didn't accumulate frost as badly, either. How that made any difference I'm sure I don't know. I have a 1940s Arvin metal dinette set my aunt is using. It's a cream/ivory colour with the chrome legs. A three-decade, mixed kitchen sounds fantastic! That's likely what would actually happen, over time, as people acquired new items for their houses, and it gives the look of continuity. Looking forward to the next installment on the progress of the bungalow!
375 is over your five dollar budget.
Great idea to blend eras. Gives s sense of aesthetic flow over a 30+ years time. Plus gives you a wider selection of pieces to choose from. One can pick pieces, actually from any era. If you have a clear idea of your aesthetic choices (which clearly you have), it will be consistent across the different time periods, and that's what makes for a successful ecclectic style. Everything you select will "get along together", oddly enough both despite and because of the differences in period design. Think of your home as a intriguing visual narrative & temporal conversation about art, culture, family, function and form. Can't wait to see how you create your home space. Thanks for your great videos!
I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through the antique store with you! Oh my, what beautiful things! I would love to be the owner of the red 1940s table. I have just the spot for it!! Your house is going to be superb..with all the furnishings you have and are buying. I'm so excited for you!!
Boy! You landed in heaven this morning! Love this shop. Now I must tell you that cream, green and red would be fabulous for your kitchen. Spice it up just a little! Love the small Deco end table. Seems like things you can use are falling right into your way, Dude. You’re too cool! I had an old refrigerator once, it was a killer to defrost but I had it for quite a few years. Keep going, you are doing great!
Hi Scott, we have a refrigerator from that Era in our old camp up North... sadly it will be going to the dump... Thanks for taking us shopping with you!!
I think red is a bad idea to throw into the mix. I can't stop thinking about how it clashes with so many items you own.. but those undesirable color combos are true to history. And you do whatever makes you happy! 💛 Not what weird people on the internet say. I'll just skip the kitchen videos in the future if it irks me that much. 😆
Oh yes keep in mind that bright red was often tossed into kitchens and used with a variety of bright primary colors. Bathrooms and kitchens were full of vibrant colors in the 20's through the 40's. I think today so many folk have become numb to color after living through 10 years of the gray, gray, gray, gray trend. No gray for me!!!! :)
@@oldcuriosityshop265 I grew up in Europe where people are not as afraid of color. Also, they preserve every single thing. So you often see all these color combos that aren't on trend and learn to respect them. Reminds me of colorful mismatched tiles in amsterdam. It reminds me of wacky veneers and super ugly gawdy striations in french marble furniture. Its tacky and over the top. But everyone loves it regardless 😆
Creative "eclectic" blending of the various decades seems to make things more interesting ... it's the "feel" of a room that really matters - no one that comes over to your house is going to remark on the incorrect age of a piece of furniture 😉; and, if they do, don't invite them over again 🙃😂 It's whatever You like ..... 🤗
I would have been tempted to buy that Late Victorien Corner Chair with the pained bamboo back.....$65 seems pretty reasonable..... the Corner Cubberd with the hand made Wavy glass from the 1830s -1840s and the other cubberd near it were nice as well.....thank you.....great video.....
You're scaring me. You really don't want to go back to having to scrape the ice coated freezer! The buildin for the basement is good. Don't forget your shelves for canning jars.
I have a 1937 Cape Cod house, and I have a red enamel kitchen table and I also have pieces that are green like dishes, a clock, and green fan that sits on top of the fridge. Good luck with your kitchen. I love your videos!
Some nice things in that shop. I think a white crackle kitchen table with red chairs would look so good in your kitchen. I saw a combination just like that in that shop. You wouldn't get tired of it so fast. A red topped table is a big step.🤔🤗🍁🍁
You are not building a museum, you are decorating your home, mix and match however you like. That fridge is a beauty, but is it practical? Personally, I would like an old stove and a new fridge. They do make retro looking fridges that hold more and don't have to be manually defrosted. After all, if you were going for a period correct 1925 kitchen, you would need an ice box, but I don't think that the ice man delivers anymore. Tee hee.
I've seen the retro Smeg fridge freezers Awful.Plastic front the handle isn't real.Perhaps there are other brands in America.Also three times the price.Scott could always sell the fridge if if he doesn't like it.You are right about the icebox being more appropriate time wise though.
Scott, top video that .... One of your best. Yes, the standard was that high. Everywhere you looked, there were quality items. The Refrigerator ..... Well, what can you say. It was Magnificent and in really good condition considering its age and previous usage. Would fit Hand in Glove in your new Kitchen. Adore those Salt and Pepper shakers you purchased .... What a find ! Kind regards to you, Sir 👏👍😉
Elmira Stove works makes reproduction appliances and retrofits old ones. You can have the style of the past with the technology of today.
The red would pop and really feel warm.
We have my husbands grandmothers fridge and runs beautiful.
Those old stoves and refrigerators are either unsafe or uneconomical by today's standards.
I agree with several pieces from different decades as long as they are similar in style. It looks as though it was collected over time and the appearance of a well curated home.
The refrigerator would be awesome! Great colour for your kitchen.
I wanna see that refrigerator in your kitchen!!!
So many great items. Love the corner chair and that hutch. Amazing. I just started watching. Oh my!
Right or wrong I like the red kitchen table and I would put one of the red stool/chairs (by the old stove) in the kitchen. Maybe the chair in the corner. I have those 2 items in my head now. Lol
Wow! What a selection of antiques at that store. Thanks for bringing us along. I think a mix of eras in your kitchen makes it look lived in. Use what you love and what is functional to bring it all together. Seems like there might be a specialty shop out there somewhere to make new appliances that look old.
I know that you are aware of reproduction stoves and refrigerators. There are also people who redo old ones.
You said in another recent video that you don’t want to live in a museum. Gather the things you love from those decades. It’s more natural, more organic. It will be lovely.
I think the lived in look with blended colors would be perfect for your bungalow, as well as the red color. Love the color red & it did go with green & creme. Another great video. That is one of my favorite type stores to shop with you in. Thanks again!💕
I grew up with a Westinghouse refrigerator, & when the handle broke, sometime in the late 60's, the Dad rigged up a crowbar for opening the latch! The folks replaced it in the 70's after I was married and moved out. Mom still has that one!
I love the idea of making your kitchen feel more lived in using items from the 20s, 30's and 40's. I really liked that red top table too. The oven was gorgeous! And I loved the old refrigerator. The only thing about that is it would be nice not to have the high electric cost that will certainly come along with running it and the freezer is quite small for what I personally would like. But oh it was pretty. I don't know if you've ever been to Strawberry Banke living museum in portsmouth nh, but they have a little store set up like it would have been in the early 40's during war time with rationing and where the family would live going into the store from their kitchen of that time. I always loved the simple but comfy feel of that kitchen. I sent you an email so you can see it. It was used from 1919 through 1950, but they show it as being around 1943. It's from those time periods you might use in your own kitchen and is just so lovely and warm and lived in feeling😊
Liked the format with voice and music. You always show such a variety. I know people were yelling how much are the aluminum trees lol. I believe you can incorporate different time frames in your new home . People had things new and what they didn't replace. I always tell people who say this is old it was grannies that grandma could have bought things in the 70s and 80s .
Awesome Thrift-Along❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. GREAT VIDEO AND GREAT CONTENT. THUMBS-UP ALWAYS!!!!!
I also agree that blending the decades can result in a more natural lived in look. As for choosing the pieces, I'd consider whether they would serve you as you make the bungalow your home. Museums are nice to visit, but not necessarily comfortable to live in.
Thank you for the tour. It looks like a place I would like to visit.
Old appliances are nice, l love the 40s stoves in turquoise. It's better to have a mix of styles because that's the way we live. Not many people can go out and buy a whole room of same style. Now they really don't make a whole room of one style. If they do, l would find it boring. Don't know what is next, but I am so tired now. Thank you for video.🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃🍀🦃
Good morning Scott I have to say there is no better furniture that the one that was made back in those days from the 1900s to the 1940s maybe the '50s. It was make with a good quality materials it was made beautifully and it was make to last. I'm telling you if I can have my house refurnished with that type of furniture I will be the happiest person in the world. Those beautiful corner cabinets that you show us I had to close my mouth when I saw them my heart skipped a beat there are gorgeous. And yes part of my kitchen is red ,, like my coffee maker my decor my microwave my blender my can opener I love the red color in my kitchen well thank you for taking us antiquen and it will be into the next one 💯🤩
Scott, that place had many lovely items! That side table will be great with a little fixin' up. Love that it has a bottom shelf for you to show another treasure.
That $85 table was beautiful. The stove looked like it went with that pearl table. The frig reminds me of one we had at our cabin. The door with gold plate was something I would like to have. So going off the salt & pepper shakers, do you like grey?
I thought Scott bought those to sell.
My husband and I have been slowly and methodically restoring our 1930s-'40s Pennsylvania farmhouse kitchen with vintage/antique finds. I have always been in love with my Nana's (great-grandma's) kitchen. It was pale-pale yellow, muted turquoise, with bright cherry red accents. That's my color palate, so I totally get your desire to pop with red. Great choice!
The red table next to the fridge was gorgeous OR you can also build a counter in your cozy kitchen & buy retro stools...because you are handy you have many options in your 1925 bungalow....☘️ LUCKY GUY☘️
Fantastic place Scott. Love the idea of blending the different era’s in your decor. That refrigerator was very cool 😁. And I think a pop of red in the kitchen would be 👌🏻. Enjoy your evening.
Your right Scott! My home is 1940s to very early 50s.. I'm so excited to see what you've done to your home especially the kitchen! Sending hugs! ❤️
Lol, as I take a look around my place I have "stuff "from 1850 to 1960 so I can say that mixing decades is fun. Just my opinion but eclectic mix is cool. I love brown furniture , so much character.
Hi Scott, this was fun to watch. I liked the red table and chairs at the end of the video, however, I would like to see if you could find a green design over a green enamel top table with chairs to match. I don't know if I would buy an old frig., or an old stove. Many issues could be forthcoming, plus the electric bill may be steep, or not. Also finding replacement parts, if you're going to need them. I would buy the corner cupboard, it was beautiful! Loved the crazy quilt. OK, take care, cannot wait to see how your home is progressing. Later Scott, from Jersey Ann in NJ
I rent a 1940s bungalow, and that gorgeous refrigerator would look great in the kitchen. I loved the stove you showed us as well. Please say you bought the refrigerator!
xoxo's Sandie😍
I’m with you Scott. Your kitchen decor idea is wonderful…. Cozy and inviting. And what a joy it will be to live in and use everyday. And boy oh boy! How assume is it that you can still find so many choices to fill your kitchen and house with…authentic and in amazing condition . I love PA. Hey, have I told you lately that I so want to move there. Lol! 😂
They do make new appliances now that look like the old ones, Idk if they go as far back as the 20's- 30's but I wouldn't care if it was a 50s model. People did buy new things over the years! Those are high prices for my area in Central Texas, but much easier to find all older things north & east of Texas for the most part.
I never tire of looking at any and all things old!
I am not a fan of red, however my home, built in 1934 with a kitchen remodel in 1953( I believe )was painted red and white. I kept the red and our appliances are white. I love it and would not consider painting all white. The front door is red as well, as that signified that the mortgage was paid off. I think that is a Scottish tradition, don't quote me. Soooo yes Mix it Up Sir!
I. Like the idea of mixing decades in your decorating especially the kitchen. Lived in makes a house a home. 😊A pop of red is always nice. I am super jealous of your antique stores! Unbelievable! We have nothing like them here in the southwest where I am.
The corner cabinet is lovely. The fridge does nothing for me, except maybe for the enamel. I imagine it "runs". I want to know about your coat!?
When I was a boy my cousin's family had an old cottage behind their main house, which I think pre-dated the house (it was very old). We kids used to hold sleepovers there in summertime, and the place always kinda gave me the creeps, like it was haunted, I don't know. Well anyway, that cottage had a vintage 1940s refrigerator in it almost exactly like the one you feature here. In fact, I think it might have been the same one.
I have 1931 Farmer house Green check floor I put in pine cupboards Dont know why Yellow countertop green door Red and white kitchen windowed kitchen nook Like the red table but prefer wood is Mix the years
I love a kitchen that looks lived in and loved Reminds me of the kitchen I grew up in. I have to find a picture. Please Stay Safe, Happy And Healthy Have A Wonderful Day
GE fridge, with the lazy susan inside, children spinned the lazy susan and all the items went everywear, what a mess! I think they only made the fridge for a few years, I saw the inside of one at a flea, and the young woman who was selling it didn't know what it was!😂 I love traveling with you Scott, husband said, where are you and Scott going today, when he heard your voice😊.❤
I like your idea of mixed kitchen time periods.Mindy Carson singing its a lovely day.Wonderful.
Get the fridge 😍
I had one and when we moved into our 1858 cottage, I managed to get it off the truck with one of my daughters, but had to leave it under the carport. My jerkasaurus of a steer thought it was a play thing and he charged it😒he's 2 tonnes so the fridge did not stand a chance. I'm using it as a plant bed now, but I do miss it 😭
Scott, omg, that refrigerator!!!! I hope you decided to take that with you! Love your Deco shakers & the little side table too! 👍🏻😉
Scott, we rarely find that much furniture- especially in it's original finish, here in Western WA state where I live. This was stunning to watch & yes, we may come see you & rent a Uhaul to drive home!
I like your idea of framing your basement with old doors etc Will you insulate.Its worth considering.Heat out as well as in Quieter too.👍🏼
I'm rewatching this to absorb what you said.Even if you don't buy a red table,red acessories?
I like your idea of not just stayin with one era. My gramma & me were close & I can tell you those folks back then got what they could get & used what they had. To this day I love mix-matched dishes because of then & her.✌️
Scott, that fruit decorated teapot looks like something Carmen Miranda would have worn on her head. LOL.
I like that shop Scott was there a few years ago so many neat antiques, If the fridge worked it would look neat in your kitchen, but I personally don't like the hairpin leg tables, I like the wooden ones with the porcelain tops. Love those big corner cabinets but they wouldn't fit in my small farmhouse either
Hi Scott. Did you happen to notice the four red chairs with the cracked ice 1950’s kitchen table sitting to the left of your GE refrigerator? I’d buy that set if I can find a way to get it shipped to Florida
I paused your video because I had to scream at you to buy that red table...it would serve as counter top just as my mom made pies on ours! Buy it!!! In the Chicago area that would go for 3 c notes! OK now back to the vid to see if ya actually got it! 😆
Choosing items from the 20s 30s and 40s is a practical idea and more home like. If you stick to cream green and maybe a nice red laminate table with cream chairs, I think it would look great .
I love the red enamel kitchen table. I think it would look lovely in your kitchen.
I like the idea of cream chairs.More eclectic.
I agree! That red table would look so nice in his kitchen!
It gives a look of history
Don't buy that frig
I hope you find some nice old wooden shutters not the ones that are louvred unless they are the kind that you like perhaps old head boards might work😂my parents bought their house one that my grandfather and his brother had built in the thirties . Mum had an old kerosene wood combination stove a tiny table and two matching Chrome chairs that kitchen was so tiny they didn’t have room for the refrigerator that they bought in 1951 a few months after I was born before that they kept things on a window sill placed next to the storm window the other window could be lifted to access the milk a good thing they lived a few blocks from the grocery store.
I have two refrigerators in my kitchen I don’t need two now but having the two does have some advantages as I gave my freezer away just tired of the long trek to the basement . Seeing the fridge next to the table set brought up some happy memories so I have written an essay to let you know that having a kitchen that has some upgrades is a good idea . My grandmother was still using kitchen tools in the seventies that she bought as a newly wed in the 1920’s…who can go wrong with green and cream😅
