Ok so my dream is to have a vintage style kitchen...oh I won't get rid of the microwave or the dishwasher...just hide them. My inspiration is of course the Walton's kitchen...LOVE IT! So I thought lets have some fun and design one with pictures. I'll start with the kitchen Hoosier....no that's not me in the picture but it is Kathy Lee's apron...lol

Edit: I think I had the pictures in the wrong order. Great Grandma and Grandpappy look older here than in the other picture so this one has to be in the 40's and the other in the 30's The kitchen here is also more built up than in the other photo. Here is a photo of my great grandparents kitchen in the mid 1940's My great grandmother is sitting at the head of the table. Grandpappy is on the left drinking from a saucer. His brother Edward and sister Marge are also at the table. My mother now has the mirror that is hanging over the sink. When Great Grandmother died in 1985 she still had that same table and chairs.

The same kitchen probably 10 years earlier .mid to late 30's Again Great Grandmother is at the head.My grandmother is in the middle left and Grandpappy on the end to her right. There were no cabinets under the sink and there is an icebox on the left by the window.

The kitchen would have to have an ice box. And, one of those wooden boxes with little drawers hanging on the wall. Also, one of those wooden towel racks. The one with the movable wooden rods. A little mud room off the kitchen. And a clothes line outside the kitchen door. Will have to find some pictures.

My paternal grandmother (1903-1992) had one of these except the drawers are ceramic. I am now the proud owner of it.

My paternal grandmother also had one of these except hers was closed in all around the sides. The top of it opened on the left for flour/cornmeal and the right for salt/sugar, etc. I always loved it. She moved in with us in 1982 when I still in high school (she lived an hour away). My daddy and her went to get her 'things' on a school day, so I wasn't able to go. She did not make it to our house with this. She had lots of wonderful furniture and things that were already considered antiques at that time.
Not many people came to visit her while she lived in her house. When they caught wind that she was moving, they all came out of the woodwork. Being the kindhearted person that she was, if they asked for this or that, she gave it to them. I don't know if someone was given this or if daddy ended up putting it out on the roadside for trash pickup. I would have loved to have had it.
Grandfather and her bought a new refrigerator in 1946. It was still her kitchen refrigerator in 1982 and it made the move. My momma still uses it. It's sixty nine years old and it has never had to have anything done to it except have the light bulb changed in it from time to time. They just don't make them like they used to.

My paternal grandmother had one of these. Don't know what happened to it. My maternal grandmother and my momma had one but theirs was all metal. I have a metal one stashed in a closet around here somewhere.

We just bought a 1950 Norge fridge. Works perfect and contrary to what "THEY" tell you it does not guzzel electricity.Our new ones with the self defrosting freezers use more.
