The plate colletion’s a bit much.
Stainless steel tiles are a popular way today to update a kitchen. Peel & stick and you’re done. Typical oven from the late 1950s and early 1960s.

I love this house. The colors are very pretty. I know you hate pets in pictures but I think the cat is adorable and not at all threatening like big dog might be.

Don’t underestimate the power of a kitty to sell a house…..when I was house hunting many years ago, a neighbor’s awesomely sweet and friendly cat came over to love all over us. We bought the house…. But of course you kind of have to be a cat lover to appreciate it, and I have 3….

I love those living room chairs!
How in the world has the upholstery managed to hold up that well all this time?

Besides the brick inside the house, I dig the colors and furnishings. I too would like those teal colored chairs. Awesome!
