Gorgeous. It looked good before but this is amazing.

That is one gorgeous kitchen, and now I want one. That one, I think.

That's great! You get good deals at those yard sales and estate sales.

An unseen "feature" is that I've been going to estate sales and yard sales to find cooking equipment.  Now we use a set of '60s pyrex mixing bowls, stainless steel pots and pans, stainless measuring equipment - all for almost nothing money-wise.  It makes me feel a little like I'm in my parents' kitchen (which was about 1/4 as big as this kitchen, and grimy), and makes the 'comfort food' a comfort to make.  Strange but true.  My rolling pin is a birds-eye maple rolling pin from my grandmother, probably 30 years older than I am.  Some of the kitchen towels are also from the 60s or 70s - cotton lasts a long time.

Fantastic!

 

So -- this is the kitchen where all those lovely dishes are made!

Thank you!

 

Anne thanks for the info.  So happy that my stove is friendly to a group of people who would likely have nothing to do with me.

Wow - just beautiful!  Those 10 years of planning really paid off.

wow!  So shiny.  Very nice job. 

btw: In recent years, however, well-intentioned appliance makers have been installing safety features that automatically shut off ovens after 12 hours. That meant a unit turned on at dusk Friday would be cold before lunch on Saturday. When companies learned this was complicating dinner preparation for some Jews, they supplied an optional override. Thus, a rudimentary "Sabbath mode" was born. [Wired]
