The old floor would have bothered you forever! And this one turned out awesome and gap-free... what else could a miniaturist ask for?! ;O)<br /><br />It was a feast for the eye to see floor No. 2 aka floor perfect in place with the kitchen furniture under this gorgeous ceiling with the hall peeping in to admire the neighbor room. Wonderful work... and lucky me: I'm able to enjoy another post of yours right away now.<br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-48550117817906858152022-08-23T22:13:03.365-07:002022-08-23T22:13:03.365-07:00Thanks Sandi!

I hadn't thought about the "tippy" feel for the stove, but it's so true! In the early days of our married life, Russ and I used to have an actual tippy stove that we had to cook on. It took us a while to figure out that the legs could be screwed up or down to level it, lol! It was avocado green and was a hand me down from Russ' beloved aunt and uncle. In a funny way, I kinda miss that stove!<br /><br />I'm so happy to know that you like where this Willowcrest is leading! I am sure having fun! The pocket door is such a brilliant idea, and now that you mention Brae's Heritage, I remember it! I'm going to have to go over to her blog and read about it again just for fun. It really is too bad that It's too late for this kitchen! I'm going to regret it, too!<br /><br />My work this past week has been dismal. Between real life stuff and this summer heat, my creative motivation is down to a trickle! For the first time in my life, literally ever, I will be glad when summer is over!Jodi Hipplerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493172804253306940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-55841258920867779532022-08-21T10:49:35.299-07:002022-08-21T10:49:35.299-07:00Ha Ha!

The c...Dear Jodi, Your floor looks Perfect to me!!! The colors are just right! The first picture screams "forties" in my old brain! Lol! I Love the border you gave it and the slight variation of the pattern under the stove actually is a great idea! It keeps the stove from "feeling tippy" over there along the wall! The cabinets are coming along great too! Oh boy, I can't wait to see the "decor" that will get to live in this kitchen! You are turning this Willowcrest into such an amazingly beautiful, gracious and welcoming home! You are Brilliant!<br />PS. I regetted not constructing a "pocket door" that would be able to partly close the kitchen from the hallway in my Willowcrest. I know we want to see the hall, but in those "old days" the "ugly" kitchen was not ever open to the hall! Check out Brae Oktober's Pocket door in her "Haunted Heritage" project. If you have not seen it I recommend it highly! And her operating pocket door is genius!!!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-63815410006785976542022-08-20T16:47:55.122-07:002022-08-20T16:47:55.122-07:00Your first try was a learning experience for all o...Your first try was a learning experience for all of us.

My grandma's kitchen showed lots of signs of daily use and years of it, yet she kept it immaculate, as well. I really need to find the balance in this kitchen of just enough wear so as not to look new or unused, but at the same time, cared for an appreciated. New or grungy seem easier to achieve than the middle ground, lol!

As for aging the kitchen when my mother left that house 35 years later her kitchen was immaculate….very little sign of any aging. Her vitrous enamel stove looked brand new, the floor was still good…. She had little rugs to protect the places which might wear faster than the rest 😄. So you could pretty much be very gentle with your aging. You could even imagine you are seeing that project set in its own time and absolutely brand new.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423267884035549444.post-40896626127279895502022-08-19T10:08:14.653-07:002022-08-19T10:08:14.653-07:00Wow Jodi!
