It's an L shaped walk through situated in the center of a bungalow style apartment built in 1950. This is the entrance from the hallway, on the right. The floors are new, and they are VCT (vinyl composite tile) in black and golden. I love them. They don't show dirt and are easy peasy to clean. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0002ybrk.xml 6aed12f89eb07d60d1f95f299820e1ea image/jpeg 300 400 18798 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0002ybrk The bare wall space above the stove is destined to house big schoolhouse (like the one that hovered above your chemistry teachers head) or lightup church themed wall clocks. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0002z28w.xml 40383585b1f2a82fa2c046a60cdd8874 image/jpeg 300 400 14840 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0002z28w I am not a vegetarian. I promise. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0003063q.xml 6ee7189b38611d59dcf3957e846a0f57 image/jpeg 264 400 13743 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0003063q I'm slowly filling the soffet and upper wall areas with vintage (and fake vintage, which will eventually be replaced by vintage) clocks. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00031bp8.xml 84cdc102345fd0d1f4610ef23ca49981 image/jpeg 400 171 8286 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00031bp8 The cabinets are original, Republic Steel brand metal cabinets. They're a little worse for the wear but we still love them. One of our drawer handles has gone missing. It's very hard to find replacements. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00032b6s.xml 566382f4dc82f7a0f834ce8e20b87304 image/jpeg 300 400 15094 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00032b6s I ran out of paper towels while cleaning so I could photograph this tour, just for you. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00033xqe.xml 7565bae24943e19ff87c550c49509f94 image/jpeg 300 400 16754 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00033xqe Another clock and some vintage plates. Since our cabinets are metal, we can stick things, like postcards, to them with magnets. We just get the peel and stick kind and have at it. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00034ty4.xml e73b4aaf13d7503f64658705066e8c25 image/jpeg 400 255 11603 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00034ty4 I have many other vintage dishes. In particular I collect Taylor Smith and Taylor in the Windermere pattern. The carafe in the center belongs to that collection. I have some jadeite and a lot of white Fire King dishes. My new obsession is Red Wing Magnolia in the Bronze color. I want a whole 6 person set up. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00035w33.xml 6a3c60e94c4df87e33dcb4b41c8be6ab image/jpeg 400 120 7201 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00035w33 More vintage dish, and clock. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00036drb.xml 3e562487ad3fb6079a9e473a7a9c02ee image/jpeg 400 260 16696 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00036drb That alien down there is a radio. It keeps sneaking into the kitchen. I'm going to send it packing and replace it with a vintage am/fm/short wave radio, in pink. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00037sd6.xml 78df52eed35da4a764f93e865b59ba5c image/jpeg 300 400 30343 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00037sd6 These are my dutch girls, weighing in with their opinion of the amount of coffee that I drink. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00038253.xml 2d639ec6e1ead5d3c9e8b224c174f487 image/jpeg 400 300 29905 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00038253 My pride and joy. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00039zr6.xml 2a7c5af43ea6ecac346d8097e33e4d0e image/jpeg 300 400 25618 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00039zr6 This area is my most hated part about the kitchen at this point. It just doesn't look cohesive or finished. I want to get a big hoosier cabinet or some other sort of buffet/hutch combination to manage the craziness. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0003akt5.xml 2c0ce1ff979aba2a70accd6cfe2d733b image/jpeg 239 400 19875 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0003akt5 It's an organized chaos. I swear. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0003betr.xml 3ca781ae120322f421e677a6fab5862f image/jpeg 300 400 22915 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0003betr This is the view from through the left doorway, from the living/dining room. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0003cpx5.xml b22ade684013612756e5844c6ad3e3a9 image/jpeg 300 400 19354 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0003cpx5 These are my place settings and accessories in the Taylor Smith and Taylor Windermere pattern. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00026fy0.xml c3241234d65cdd1e99903b65b3aa6309 image/jpeg 500 281 24128 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/00026fy0 This is my collection of vintage aprons, currently serving double-duty as curtains. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0001adfp.xml bf32021d656986e6a18745fb9a65c8d1 image/jpeg 300 400 24563 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0001adfp A close up of the aprons. http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0001b7qr.xml 26d531c220d15c96710d320556c3ca9a image/jpeg 400 300 24832 http://pics.livejournal.com/psymonetta/pic/0001b7qr
