It’s finally here!! Sound the alarm!

After a couple of years, it was time for the new old stove to come upstairs and earn it’s keep.

Dennis called his buddy Rob (who has helped us move the old Tappan upstairs, helped hang the upper butler’s pantry cupboards and more) and up the Grand came and back down the Tappan went. Of course, it was the hottest, stickiest day we’ve had in a while. Just perfect for moving big heavy appliances.

Retro Appliances

I remember going into my grandfather’s house as a little girl and trying to open door on his big, honkin’ refrigerator. It was so heavy! It was a 1950′s fridge. Big, beefy and smoky, cold vapor always poured out of it when it was opened. It didn’t have a lot of bells & whistles.

Our kitchen looks so small with the big, boxy fridge in it. Last fall, we found a great monitor top fridge for a greater price. It’s been sitting in the barn since then, keeping stuff cold and humming along. It really is so quiet, you wonder if it’s working.

When we moved in, one of the things left by the previous owners was a 1950-ish Tappan gas oven that was left to them by the previous owners. It’s in fine shape and we’ve used in on several occassions. It cooks slower than I’m used to and you won’t get turkey, dressing, yams and rolls in at the same time, but we think it has much more character than the circa 2000 oven we have now.
