Kitchen, circa 1962

This kitchen is as old as me.

I guess that's still relatively modern, for a house built in 1894. The Sixties was only fifty years ago, less than half this house's age. Somehow it doesn't look quite as quaint, however.

This is the upstairs (the "normal") kitchen on moving day. It looks better than this now, I promise. And it'll look better still after we gut and remodel it.

The green cabinet doors are hand painted and signed by "Bernadette." We don't know who Bernadette is/was, but one theory is that she was part of the Leitzinger family that lived here in the 1980s, several years after the kitchen cabinets and counters were put in. Maybe she was freshening up the place after several years. Whatever happens to the cabinets, we'll be saving the doors.
