Yay! A kitchen with real wood, and it's not white! Thank you....

I always top apple pies with a struesel topping, straight out of Betty Crocker. Yummier than a top crust IMHO.

We installed a tankless hot water heater a couple years ago and have been most unhappy with it. Energy conservation? It takes ages for water to heat up. I've forgotten what it's like to wash my hands in warm water. But most maddening is the all too frequent experience of having water go ice cold in the middle of a shower--our well and water pump do not play nicely with the tankless heater. Huge regrets.

With rolled oats, I stir constantly for about a minute until I can see the foaming die down. At that point, the boil-over danger is over and the pot can be left alone. Happy breakfast!

Just lovely, and I'd have expected no less. I've followed Rhiannon's vintage adventures on Flickr for some time now. Love her style.

Snarky, snarky, snarky. Just exactly what kind of food would please these people?

Lots of personality. Very inviting.

Yes, it's better than it was. I'll take a peninsula-type kitchen layout any day over a choppy, small island layout. But the look is way too cold and clinical for me. I need a bit of decor and warmth around me. Personal preference.

Painting leather?? Sorry, but this is really dumb--a project done with absolutely no foresight whatsoever. This ottoman will get cracked, peel-y, and nasty with use. And it will get cracked, peel-y, and nasty even if it's not used..

My mother had water goblets in this pattern but Kitalita is correct--these pictured here are sherbet dishes. And you're absolutely right--we need to get these lovely pieces out of the cupboards and USE them!
