Of course, at the rate we are destroying what they built ...we are scrapping the opportunity. <br /><br />Aunty,<br />No my "vintage" home is circa 1942-3.<br />I do remember your renovation posts and your delight in a new coppery Kitchen. In fact, I am holding onto that "delight" part because getting there is not fun. Plus I do not have a hankerin' to be bald.<br /><br />The Cornue was tops on my list to research, alas the size is not 40" it is 43" in width. I might could modify for the difference but it would be expensive plus I would have to install a larger flue in the walls and ...well it just isn't to be. <br /><br />Thermador makes individual column refrigerators, freezers and wine coolers of varying widths but just the research gave me sticker shock worse than the Wedgewood, the Aga and the Cornue combined.<br /><br />The Island is the one thing I could give up without wincing. Not Blowfish! He is hankering for one so bad he did not put up a fuss about the marble. Yep. You guessed it, he is a red wine man but I am thinking after his third or fourth marble replacement he'll figure it all out.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-3547429807254046472013-05-03T18:38:00.332-04:002013-05-03T18:38:00.332-04:00Oh mah heavens, I could write ya a book.
But firs... Oh mah heavens, I could write ya a book.<br /><br />But first, Fishy, ya belong in marketing--a 1949 home is "vintage'? Thas' so clever. If it were mine I'd jes' say "old". But old is good in mah book--built this now old house to look old, so old is good fer me.<br /><br />But, we's old enough to have similar troubles--an' a few years back we redid the kitch--recall mah squeals and peals of excitement over the copper sink?? the non-standard appliance issue wuz a nightmare. Thas' why I'se half bald--yanked out mah hair.<br /><br />Uncle doan cook inside, so he wants gas, he has it--outside wif' a grill. I doan like gas, even if ya cain't smell it, it give me a headache.<br /><br />That Wedgewood is a thang of beauty!! Worth every cent! But...fer same $$ ya can get that Frenchy beauty, La Cornue, in Provence blue wif' chrome trim--it has gas burners, but two electric ovens, one of those is convertible from conventional to convection. Thas' one than mah not-now so new kitchen has that I does count on, a convection/ convertible oven.<br /><br />On refrigerators--french doors looks nice, but most doan have dimension on freezer side that accommodates a 25 pound turkey---we has an extry freezer in the buggy barn, but even so, I declined a french door inside fridge fer that very reason--so now ya might come in mah kitchn an see Aunty's derriere upended over that freezer on the bottom arrangement--nothing is perfect. Well, akshully, iffin' ya have a really big kitchen, ya can do as a friend did--buy the refrigerator drawers only. An' install a full freezer whar' the fridge was. <br /><br />On islands --I think every busy cook needs a barrier to keep the kitchen visitors oout of the cook's space, I'se a fan. But Uncle would not let me have marble--oh how I pleaded for a gorgeous teracotta beauty--because he says is it so porous that it ain't purty after jes'a year or so unles ya seal it about every 6 months. Now..I'se thinkin' Blowfish, bein' Eyetalian drinks red red wine--ooops! That white marble ain't happy wif' red wine. But...Aunty say, ok, then buy three slabs of the stuff--an' replace when needed. Marble is still lovely in old ( as in 1600s) chateau kitchens in France, so I ain't sure Uncle be right on this point.<br /><br />We'uns wanna see the after pics!<br />Aunty Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868780211706866610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-1201353759588959032013-05-03T00:54:43.507-04:002013-05-03T00:54:43.507-04:00I hadn't quite meant it that way, but I do fin...I hadn't quite meant it that way, but I do find a way in spite of intent, to... roust the mind?<br /><br />Yeah, I see your point a bit more clearly though. Frustration with a modernized world that doesn't take... tradition, what is in place, sentiments, into consideration.<br /><br />As for gas cooking, it is great if you fancy yourself an cuisine artiste (said in a Frenchish way). The only real reason I want it non-electric is because some of the new electronic systems in them make them dysfunctional if electricity goes out... if you did bring up some other points.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-90205933773216357762013-05-02T19:11:04.504-04:002013-05-02T19:11:04.504-04:00Doom, you live up to your name my friend.
I now ha...Doom, you live up to your name my friend.<br />I now have visions of my appliances spying on me for Big Brother!<br /><br />I have never cooked with gas but culinary friends with true expertise swear I would love a gas cooktop. I am NOT a fan of stainless and have declined to go with an all stainless appliance package. Unfortunately the dual fuel appliance Blowfish finds affordable ONLY comes in stainless.<br /><br />The thing I find annoying is the need to remodel my Kitchen to replace standard appliances. At least we do have two fire places so we have the romantic/nostalgic/emergency scenarios covered :-)fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-66307828577608152062013-05-02T18:20:43.602-04:002013-05-02T18:20:43.602-04:00*grins*
Oh, by the way, I am not a fan of stainle...*grins*<br /><br />Oh, by the way, I am not a fan of stainless myself. I like neither the look anymore, nor the cleaning of it. Bleh. I went through that stage though, so... I'm not completely innocent.<br /><br />If I had the money, I would go with a culinary all gas stove (with zero electric if I could find one without buzzers, lights, camera, internet connect, and what awful all else they put on them anymore), with a <a href="http://www.antiquestoves.com/heartland/oval/index.htm" rel="nofollow">wood-fired getup</a> off to one side of my kitchen for emergencies and romantic/nostalgic moments.<br /><br />Good luck. I'll be curious about what you end up with. Decisions, decisions... and the wallet. Ugh.Doomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392444624210801173noreply@blogger.com
