Hello all,
Hope everyone is getting to enjoy the summer. We have good news out of our neck of the woods, in the early part of 2018 after eight years we finally got married, and with the warmer weather we are preparing to host a house warming and reception. We have been working long and hard on getting our home back on track and realigned with our ideas while being respectful of he era of the home as well as the design of it. Two long years and countless wonderful “discoveries” later we are just working on the finishing touches. Thought that everyone would enjoy a look at the kitchen and our project. Mike |

Sorry I have not responded sooner, but with party prep and work life was insane.
Let me first say that the Frigidires have been a savor with all the food. However both of them when they came to us, at separate times, needed their start run YT Relay's replaced. I was lucky enough to find two NOS replacement parts from the mid 60's from a local appliance parts house that has been in business for 89 years according to its current owner. The Goal of the remodel was to maintain the feel and vibe of the house while updating the necessary things behind the walls and doors. We used as many correct surfaces as we could, such as the 12x12 VCT tile on the floor found at the local homedepot and menards. Colors that we liked from the era, etc. Hidden in the kitchen are a few things that our just for us, such as the counter top between the stove and the side-by-side fridge, there is a 20amp 220vac outlet for my Italian espresso maker and English tea kettle. It has been a labor of love and insanity. I have been told from day one that a remodel is a true test of a relationship and ours went on for about 2-3 years all said and done. We have, for the most part, closed this phase of remodeling, and we are getting ready to jump into our next phase, the 1960's guest house. Hope that everyone is enjoying their summer!
