Font's Profile

My husband's family owned a lumber mill for over 100 yrs and they love antiques, craftsman style homes, kitchens but part of the attraction was high quality. If it does not work, it was not made by a good craftsman. It may be old but it does not mean it was all made well. Ikea does make old-world look-a-likes and they are not easy to assemble, but they are solid once complete and they look great. Since I love mid century modern and don't mind high end veneers, they work just fine for me, but they do have solid wood doors too. We are on our 2nd IkEA kitchen. You can go to HD for granite or install a walnut wood counter-top in an area that may not get that much use...for that old world look. I LOVE IKEA's pull-out bins, and their ironing board drawer . You have an OLD house that demands maintenance and care ...why not give yourself a kitchen that WORKS FOR YOU.
