Kitchen is comming together

I finally moved my stove back in the kitchen. We also decided to locate the Hoosier Cabinet next to the stove on the west wall rather than the south wall as origionally planned. We comprimised. I wanted an eat-in kitchen with an eating table. We will have the small farmhouse style table on the south wall. We have tried our best to make the kitchen period-like to the house. The house was built in 1915. The stove was made between 1915-1919. I bought it at Buckeye Antiques and Appliance in Stockton California. They do fabulous restorations on antique stoves. See my link to their website. The Hoosier Cabinet is a 1917 reproduction made by an Amish man in Pennsylvania. The sink begs the look of the 1910-1925 period. The beadboard was widely used back then in working rooms that got alot of use such as farmhouse kitchens, boarding house kitchens, bathrooms and industrial applications. We still need to add window trim, door trim, baseboards, and crown moulding.

  2. Adam, I thought the Hoosier cabinet was going on the other wall.......across from the sink?
    No? Or is that the temporary location?

  5. I am so inspired by your kitchen remodel. This is amazing! I bought my 1914 Foursquare 2.5 yrs ago and then purchased about 15 cherry cabinets to do a kitchen remodel. They are all sitting in the basement and lately I have been debating tossing that whole idea and going completely vintage. I think your blog has inspired me to go for it. Anyone want 15 cherry cabinets?
