The kitchen will be one of the major remodel jobs inside the house. I will remove the 1950s metal cabinets and then put in a oak dry sink This will hide the sink & I have a old pitcher pump I will use for decoration if possible I might make it a working pump. Also going in kitchen will be an oak kitchen cabinet and cupboard.

The refrigerator will be replaced with a apartment size refrigerator and put in a large oak ice box I will build so it will not be seen. The modern stove will be sold and a mint 1920s or 1930s Magic Chef gas cook stove will put in its place. I will build a fake oak ice box and put a mini refrigerator in the bottom and the microwave will go in the top so they are hid from view. When the kitchen is empty the old tile floor will be removed and he floor sanded and finished back to the old heart pine floor. I will then  put my Grandparent's oak kitchen cupboard they used when they were first married in the kitchen. I will also locate or build a oak baker's cabinet. Part of the baseboard was removed when they remodeled the kitchen so I will have to find some that matches what I have or reproduce it as close as possible using modern router bits and planes.

A couple sets of before and after pictures of the kitchen.

A nice vintage light fixture for the kitchen. It was cleaned, polished and rewired. I can always breath easier once I turn on all the switches and see that all of the old sockets still work and you get to see how much better the vintage light fixture looks than the 1950s florescent fixture

This is the vintage Magic Chef gas cook stove I plan to use in the kitchen when it is remodeled. It looks like it was hardly used. I believe the original owners must have been scared of gas stoves and only used a few times and went back to their old wood cook stove. When the house is finished you will feel like you have stepped back 100 years since all the modern items will be hidden from view

At this time the dry sink I want to build to hide the sink in will be like this. The pitcher pump will be for decoration unless I can make it work off a small tank. Beside the dry sink will be a the Kitchen baker style cabinet on the left. It will be restored and the work surface done right with a piece of maple like it originally had. Also I will put the oak cupboard on the right in the kitchen. It belong to my grandparents Dean and Charlotte Bowers. Many of the older people in town still remember Dean and Charlotte. They started housekeeping with this cupboard in 1910 when they were married. It had been in a log cabin that Dean lived in when he was single.
