My Irish grandmother use to have a Welsh dresser and a range and used the table for baking and preparing meals.<br /><br />You should write a book about the renovation projects you and Tim have done. I would definitely buy it. I"ll post some photos when the kitchen is finished.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-43598700051111087592021-11-13T08:00:26.308-07:002021-11-13T08:00:26.308-07:00Power tools of choice are Kobalt (do you have them...Power tools of choice are Kobalt (do you have them there?) and Milwaukee. We are great fans of repurposing. Old things are so well made and will outlast most cobbled together things you can buy today. <br /><br />It always astounds me to watch the DIY programs here. People complain about their "dated" kitchens, and will rip out a completely usable kitchen to replace it with something more stylish. In my mind, if you start with a good base, updating a kitchen doesn't have to mean scrapping the whole place. You can switch out knobs and handles, you can paint, you can lay new linoleum. and throw down new rugs and hang new curtains. The wastefulness really bothers me. You have a very nice kitchen.
