Retro in a kitchen is amazing! I'm very curious about the desk too, like a roll top? LOL You know I want to finger it now, say 'oooo' 'ahhhhh', I'd be a mess in a big place, I'd want to scope out every hole in the wall for anything and everything.

I agree. They're cooool, aren't they? I've got a treadle, an 1898 Wheeler & Wilson, a portable Singer from the 30s. I've given away a couple of machines ( how many does one need? Ummm yeh. ) They can chew through denim and thinner leather; you might catch a whisp of smoke off a new machine. Haha. Don't get me started on clocks.

^^^ I enjoyed reading that...

My school's studio has some ANCIENT sewing machines... beautiful cast iron Singer single thread machines, a HUGE and scary coverstitch machine, and a 3-step zigzag machine, to name a few... They're so much less cranky and more sturdy than the younger machines...

Omg.. Tis Virgo season!

VB: That's really cool. Antique shops are treasure troves, I go crazy in there w/ the trinkets and deco oddities hehe. I'd love to find a beautiful desk for our hall and restore it someday but the only valuable antiques I own are books so I wouldn't know the first thing on restoration lol. Dunno if I'd give it a.modern spin or keep it as is in all its antique glory.


I agree, I could get lost for days in a good antique shop. Have to pour over everything. Old books are treasures they really are. If you want to restore something start small, get a good book and don't pick something overly valuable to work on. Slowly get comfortable with it. If you're ever in doubt, leave it a professional. With antiques and restoration you can bring something back to its former glory, but also be stripping it of value. All the patina that gives it provenance and a testament to its age. My favorite haunts are these two lovely words side by side "barn sale". I want to drive up and see someone over 70, preferably in bib overalls with a Pall Mall poking out of his mouth. LOL
Some of my most ( to me ) prized things are things obviously lived with/on for a long time. I LIKE dings, scratches, 4 layers of paint just as well as I like mellow gleaming wood. I want some stank on something. It's been round the bend and still there it sits giving Father Time the great middle finger. I crow when I find a deal. ( If I've bored you before with this shiz just gimme a cuff to the back of my head.. ) My stove is a 1937 Skelgas, my fridge a 1949 Coldspot. Both work just fine and I got the one sitting on someones porch like trash for 65 dollars ( ohhh happy birfday to ME ) the other at a yard sale for 5 dollars. I love stuff like that! And every time I open that and see that robins egg blue interior..every time I close its door and it chunks! shut with authority; when I strike a match to light the oven or the burners..it rocks my freaking socks off. I've got some things free, some off of ebay, the lions share from yard sales and barn sales. I choose everything with care, and because I fall absolutely in love with it. One of my sisters friends came for a visit and wanted to know if I'd sell anything..my sister cracked up and said "NO, she actually USES THIS stuff!"
I'm going to write you a book mujer, so I'ma back away from the keyboard now.

Whoooohooo! 1884 Trapdoor rifle, what a BEAUT!


Do you hunt or..? I like fire arms lol.


My Da is a gun nut, has been since he was a boy. Me? I appreciate them for their function and beauty. Anything old(er) I'm excited about. I tend to drool over a nice old gun just as easily as a classic car, a Depression era sideboard or armoire, etc.
<----- Antique 'ho.
