Was the dining room table custom-designed? Do you mind me asking what the dimensions of you nook are? We are looking for something almost identical for our kitchen dining nook!

Style Inspiration: Vintage Stoves
2/8/12 9:08 AM

We have a refurbished 6 burner, double oven O'Keefe & Merritt which works beautifully ... and sadly, are having to sell it. It's breaking our heart but we have to do a major kitchen remodel and it just doesn't make sense to rebuild an entire kitchen around this giant stove, which, being vintage, may not last the next 20 years. It's 4 inches wider and two inches deeper than any current stove, so if we did have to replace it, we would end up having to redo all the cabinetry in the kitchen.

Plus: It's impossible to child-proof these old stoves. My two year old daughter is constantly turning it on, opening the doors, etc. And the stove gets frighteningly hot when the ovens are on - easy to burn yourself touching it.

So, bottom line, we're replacing it with modern appliances. Sad, but I think we'll be happier a decade or two down the line.

(PS: If anyone is in Los Angeles and looking for a vintage stove, let me know. We'll be selling it very soon.)

Not sure - but dying to know where that crib and rocker are from!
