My heart is set on a really nice vintage gas range like what you have, but we would need to install gas lines and we got this one for a song. It's a crapload better than the boring 90s range that came with the house Link to comment

My husband used a work bonus to do the restoration on the stove. Link to comment

My husband used a work bonus to do the restoration on the stove. For a stove like that one, it's worth every penny to restore it. The vintage gas ranges are really back in favor. Do you have other mid century decor? One of my big daydreams is to get a new seahorse tank and have a Heywood Wakefield style stand custom made for it. I really dislike nearly all the ready made stands available today, they look terrible in a 1950s house. Link to comment
gena Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Our house is pretty eclectic. Here's a sampling of our living room art deco bar we picked up from CL http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/house4_zps3548a307.jpeg.html'> My 1950s ceramic tropical bird collection on the mantle and my husband's pride and joy..the old radio http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/house3_zps1c945de3.jpeg.html'> Armoire we bought off of CL, holds coats/jackets/hats/shoes, etc. http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/house1_zpsa949c9f2.jpeg.html'> Bought the red chair (I have two) for $5 each at Goodwill and had them reupholstered in that tropical hibiscus print. http://s711.photobucket.com/user/genae1971/media/house2_zps62f22ed3.jpeg.html'> We like a little bit of everything...mostly old Link to comment

gena Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 That Armoire is beautiful! Do you keep those creepy Santa's in there ? Thank you LOL...no . They are put away in rubbermaid tubs. Tick, tick, tick... yeah, you'll see it all in person . I've been watching navy seal videos. Specifically this one.... got about 10min. left of the first part to watch. I'm obsessing over navy seals now . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQFRePXMI9M Link to comment

Met his whole team (forget the number), great bunch of guys. Those boys can drink Also, those are some very nice pieces you have, we'd love some nice antiques to put in the new house, but around here what little is available is either way overpriced or in poor condition.

We are really cheap, frugal is probably a nicer term so we got good deals on everything we purchased. Now, we did have to put some money into some things for restoration, but most everything we leave original. I've never bought an item at an antique shop...way too expensive. It's more rewarding to find things dirt cheap on CL, thrifts, and estate sales/garage sales . Does she ever ride with you? That sounds like fun . OMG!!!!! I totally forgot to mention, we started Game of Thrones last night!!!!!! I'm already hooked...wow! Can't wait to watch the rest. We just watched one and I now know the Ned Stark quote "winter is coming" . Link to comment

We've built practically our whole decorative scheme on garage sales, estate sales, second hand stores, Craigslist and ebay. Leaving more money for savings, and for corals GoT is almost as addictive as reefing. Super memorable characters. Bit hard to watch at times...every graphic depiction of death imaginable.

She does ride with me occasionally, the weather has to be just right though And GoT just gets better and better. Hint: don't get attached to the characters.... Link to comment
