Kitchen in an abandoned Legion house.
Fell down the stairs this week & dicked my shoulder. Filled with pain killers & anti-inflammatorys. Then burnt my arm on the glass of the gas fireplace trying to turn it off. What a week. Hopefully I'll be able to explore soon!
at the back there's a vintage tin kitchen (fuchs, ebay)
most of the rest is from those red and blue knock off kitchens. I covered the back cardboards with white paper or aluminium foil so they'll look better in later photostories. also did the backsplashes with talavera tile paper I'd been saving.
the table is 2 action figure tables pushed together, with a vintage hankie as table cloth.
chairs are various ones I "reupholstered" over the years to hide the pink bits with stickyback fabric or fabric and double sided tape.
next step is to fill this kitchen with all the mini food and gadgets that I've been collecting...
KITCHEN
We love our kitchen. We renovated the kitchen when we bought the apartment. The previous owner also renovated it, but it was completely non-functional. It didn’t have a full size refrigerator, just a mini fridge. I didn’t have an oven, only a microwave and a cook top. The sink was a bar sink and you could barley fit a plate in it. We gutted it.
The refrigerator is Summit, the stove is 24” Bertazzoni, The sink is Kraus, the faucet is Delta, the counter tops are Caesarstone (Frosty Carrina), the dishwasher is Bosh 300 series, the microwave is GE.
We wanted a hand cut subway tile look, but didn’t want to pay for it. I was able to find some great irregular tiles at a place in Brooklyn:www.classictilenewyork.com/product/39-subway-tile/2375-3x…
I didn’t want to clutter up the counter space with a dish drying rack. I ended up making one to fit on the 6” X 24” space to the left of the sink using a pot lid organizer from ikea.
We don't exactly have a luxury apartment, but Faith and I painted the kitchen a new butter color recently. No Italian kitchen would be complete without a jug of wine and an espresso pot.
Remodeled kitchen now features Mocha Paperstone countertops, wet bar, new oak flooring and maple Canyon Creek Cabinets; tile backsplash w/ stainless steel detail.
The Kitchen cabinets were created with the Bedford door style in Oak finished in Chestnut and in Maple finished in Buttercream with Bronze glaze.
The ktichen is open to the great room offering a large space for entertaining. The island with an eat ledge is four feet tall and has eleven feet of counter space. In addition the large corner pantry gives the kitchen much storage space.
The last few weeks we have been "in the process" of redoing our kitchen. Today it is finished! Well except for a few areas of grout that I have concerns about. It was not a "tear it out to the walls" redo since the cabinets and floor did not need to be replaced. The main problem was the old and tired wood-grain formica that I have hated since the day I first saw it.
The counters are now granite and the backspace is stone and granite tiles. We replaced the black oven unit and exhaust hood with stainless steel to match the other appliances in the kitchen and Jack repaired some molding and touched up the white paint on the cabinets.
As you see in the "before and after" photographs above it does not look too different but in person the difference is astounding. Now I have to get all the contents of the cabinets back in place.
