I recently discovered this great wooden cart at Value Village for a mere $15; when the weather warms up I'll take it outside to stain, but I couldn't wait months to display some vintage kitchen items I've found. So...
Most of these treasures were purchased at a local antique mall that had everything for 75% off! I found the great green-handled tools for a dollar or two each. The wonderful scale is something I had been eying for awhile, so when it went on sale I knew it had to come home with me.
So much more appropriate to have these in the kitchen than in my studio.
I love the rusty and worn...
the graphics on the toothpick box stating "From Canadian Woods to Kaybee Goods" and the Winnipeg Prairie Queen Honey tin (click any of the photos to biggify)...
not to mention this awesome old Mazawattee Tea box.
This year I hope to repaint and decorate the whole kitchen in a vintage style.
But for now, this is a great start.
Is nice to move that kitchen stuff from your studio to a more appropriate room..the kitchen! Good luck with the kitchen redecorating. My project for the year is a new main floor bath..already have a stash of vintage goodies to put to use.
ReplyDeleteOoh! Can't wait to see what you do - I love how you inject vintage into all your spaces. Thanks Laurie!
DeleteYou do realize I think of you every time i hit the antiquey-junk shops in town, don't you? You'd have a field day here! This part of the USA is sooooo old and there are tons of shops.
ReplyDeleteNow, should I be concerned that you think of me when you see junk??? ;)
DeleteHa! I guess I shall take that as a compliment!
What fabulous vintage kitchen goodies. I love that scale; it was meant to be yours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy. I have always wanted one of these styles of scales... but they were always out of my budget. I was just lucky that it was still there while the sale was on!
DeleteHow gorgeous! you are certainly lucky to have a guy who digs your antiques:)
ReplyDeleteI AM lucky! As long as it's not "too frilly / girly" he's good. But I prefer the rusty / more masculine stuff myself, so that's a good thing...
DeleteThe new cart sure looks old! I love kitchen antiques too, what fun to do your kitchen in a style you love!!

Thank you Carol! It will look even better once I have stained it... but I have to wait to do that outside once the snow is gone! Which will be a few months off yet!
DeleteI can't wait to see all these great finds displayed in your kitchen, I just know it's going to be fabulous!

Oh I hope so! I can hardly wait to repaint and do it up right! It is a long-overdue project for sure... Thanks Patti!
