Now, this nice place has an old kitchen that will need to be gutted at some point. However, I have all kinds of ideas for making it not just bearable but actually fun in the meantime. I've always wanted a kitchen from 1960. (See screen shot of Gidget's refrigerator on this here blog. I'm serious.) I'm thinking that with some appliance and cabinet paint and new pulls on the fridge and cabinets, miracles can happen.
Here is the kitchen in question, pre-Charlottizing
My other big desire right now is to get a nice record cabinet. This is exactly what I have in mind. I love it so much I could die. It's the wallpaper on my computer right now. Anyway, record storage was the main thing on my mind when I heard about The Vintage Bazaar. Usually Chicago prices on vintage stuff are pretty high. I'm used to finding great stuff insanely cheap in Michigan, so after ten years here I still can't bear to overpay. However, the prices at the bazaar were surprisingly good. Oh, and the place was a total mob scene. It seemed to be crazy successful.
I did not find any furniture, but I did find some great housewares that will go in my retro kitchen.
There's coin laundry at the new place, so this might be where I keep my quarters stashed.
I got five of these adorable dessert dishes, and there were only a couple of small chips in the whole set.
I can't wait to move! And to have Gidget's kitchen!
