Kitchen Getting Fresh

Good evening sweet friends.
Well its seems I jinxed myself 
with my CupboardScape.
 It snowed yesterday and tonight we are suppose to get more.
Hope everyone is doing good this last Monday of the month.
Can you believe February is this week?
Closer to Spring though!

A few of you requested me to show pics of the kitchen.
Bob repainted the cabinets white.




He did a great job, don't you think?



We don't have a fancy kitchen my no means.
Heck, I don't even have a dishwasher...
someday we are going to bump out the house,
and have a real kitchen.
For now I am happy just to have the cabinets re-painted.


My dipper valance.
The rod is an antique wheat flail.
It was used for threshing the grain
from the husks. In essence it would crack it open.
A time consuming process before the threshing
machines were invented.


Now usually this white apothecary cabinet
is on top of our refrigerator, but I wanted
to show you what a prim kitchen could look like.
Our microwave and Keurig is gone for now.
Put back after I took these pics.
(We are not totally primitive) 


That brown thing hanging is a seed sorter.
The wheat flail on the left of it.


Pie peels and towels.
The little wood box holds my dish rags.


The muffins under the shoo fly screen are wax ones.


I use vintage glass coffee jars to hold sugar,
brown sugar, coffee and flour.
They sell repros of these at Hobby Lobby.
Now I know why ours at the store sold out.
They were cheaper.


A part of the wall between the cabinets and the fridge.

Well I hope you liked our kitchen update.
Bob is the best installer as he calls himself!

Hope everyone enjoys their evening!
Nachos for dinner tonight,

Kitchen Re-fresh Blessings To All!

  4. I like your kitchen . . . mine is old fashioned too and I love it. I sometimes think of the ladies that may have lived in our old house and the meals they prepared and not having a dishwasher is refreshing. I'm one of those women that enjoys doing dishes. There is a charm in an older home that new homes just do not have and try as they will be make them look vintage . . . they just don't cut it. I think we are blessed:)

  10. I love the painted cupboards, we have been thinking about painting ours white. Right now they're a honey oak which I would have loved at one time. You have some amazing pieces, I love the apothecary. I've been looking for one for a while. They're perfect for the primitive design.
