[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like it! My guess is that those cabinets aren't original to a 1912 house; they were probably redone in the 1940s. Looks just like a 1940s kitchen I used to have. We had no problem with the doors lying flat or the drawers gliding (although I did wax the wood grooves from time to time). The hardware is clearly new and I'm not mad about it. I love the countertops. Soapstone, maybe? To me this is less a timeless kitchen than it is an appealing vintage kitchen. And yes, the ceiling fan has to go, and you can take the faucet, but don't you dare touch that darling radiator. Besides providing A-1 heat, imagine proofing bread on a board on top of that![/quote] Not OP but tell me more about the radiators? i have huge ones across my 1920s bungalow. I love the comfortable heat and they actually look good, my problem is they take too much space in my 1000sqft house.. So i keep wondering if i should get rid of them. Talk me out of it? no way of getting as good heat with forced air right?[/quote] I have some radiators and some electric baseboard (because of a couple of radiators that cracked, one because DH was frantic to rescue a kitten with its head stuck, no, cast iron does NOT bend!, the other because of a window that was left open in freezing weather and managed to freeze up one vane or whatever you call it of the radiator). Apparently radiators are actually more efficient. Honestly, I'm glad the one in the dining room (the kitten fiasco) is gone because there really was a space problem. And they accumulate dust and are hard to clean. But I like them, and I like putting my socks and mittens on them in the winter for toasty feet and hands. If I put a few potholders on the kitchen radiator, I can have perfectly spreadable butter in the winter in my (chilly) kitchen. [/quote]
