1895 Modified Victorian
One wreck of a kitchen
|
The kitchen was an absolute wreck. All appliances had
been removed except a dishwasher that was hard wired and welded to the
electrical and plumbing systems. Metal cabinets and stainless steel sink
countertop is on one side with wooden cabinets on the opposite. I tripped
over the original French style cupboard doors in the basement. At least
they were not tossed out by the previous owner.
We were not so lucky in the kitchen as with the floors
and stairs. That huge hole in the wall was
created when I decided to "touch up" a bit of a loose spot of
plaster. Only took three days to fill in and then Anna papered
everything in sight. |
The kitchen is looking better, but we can hardly wait
to do a total make over.

When Anna began removing the old wall paper, she discovered at least
two other layers. We photographed each so that one day, when we
are rich, we can have them reproduced. The largest piece of paper
shown is the believed to be original to the house when it was built in
1895.
Anna is standing in the archway between the butler's pantry and the
kitchen. The pantry is now a breakfast room. |
