The original hardware is missing, the paint job o change them from turquoise to white years ago, before our time, is lousy, and I don't have nearly so m any of them as you do (love your pantry!!). Still, we are in the midst of a remodel that does not include new cabinets, and I am learning to be content as well. My tastes are not so vintage--I like it, but you have to love it to invest in building the collections that make it work. However, after months, we seem to have found some compromises that will allow us to explore our own more trtaditinal and rustic preferences while playing off the modern edge metal cabinets give.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11081757519772226348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672978773876442967.post-51726674573313054692011-11-16T21:44:52.923-08:002011-11-16T21:44:52.923-08:00You are so lucky.

I am trying to find a house to buy with that kind of character, and am only coming up with horrible beige subdivision houses, so I will stay in my little farmhouse rental until the bulldozers come and then I'm taking my 50s wood cabinets with me. Especially with your vintage Pyrex and all, they can't live in new IKEA cabinets!! Glad you kept character in your house instead of generic-izing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-672978773876442967.post-11529421080809854212011-11-10T09:08:23.341-08:002011-11-10T09:08:23.341-08:00I think yur lucky...we tried so hard to find a hou...I think yur lucky...we tried so hard to find a house with character when we moved...nada...ended up buying a new home with a lovely kitchen, but it's just that...like everyone else's.
