1930s Handcrafted Kitchen Pieces !

This darling wall hanging matches holder I'm selling on ebay this week epitomizes why I love vintage ! Its truly one of a kind, a handcrafted folk art piece from the 1930s that you could never find in a Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware ! Featuring sweet little cut out blond girl with bow on her head & wearing an apron , next to " BARREL " shaped bowl saying MATCHES in vintage red lettering. I've found tons of similar items lovingly made items over the years , whether for the garden, a wall shelf , you name it. When I find them I grab them, because they represent a lost time, and a special charm !

Vintage Kitchen

This is our kitchen, which we renovated 18 months ago, and is soon going to be featured on HGTV and Better Homes & Gardens . I tried to emulate the classic look of 1930s kitchen while having the open kitchen /family room of today. I incorporated a lot of vintage elements into the kitchen including the school house pendants, beadboard island, subway tile and display many of my special retro finds I will show in future postings !
