Looks great!
I love it, rue! That breakfast nook is to die for.
Rue, that is perfection!
Thank Goodness you weren't tempted to "update" it!
Great little breakfast nook.
Rue, you kitchen is AWESOME! My favorite part of period homes is when they have original/updated in "antiquity" kitchens. I love the flooring, the color scheme on the cabinets, the breakfast nook (I wish I had one of those!).
If you don't mind my asking, I notice that you have a relatively recent gas range. Is there any reason you didn't opt for a older stove?
Thanks! Actually, I had to take it back in time. It had been remuddled into an 70s/80s crap brown nightmare. The sink (1930s ebay find), the tile counter, the floor and the paint have all been redone, although the cabinets and the nook are original. The house was built in 1930, so I tried to make it look like it had developed slowly over the years.

I have the exact same kitchen cart. It was my grandmother's
Well, the house is all the better for your owning it, then.
Many people (most, I fear) would have just doubled down on that previous owner's bad idea and gone the Home Depot/Lowe's route, and sunk a lot of dough into just making things worse.
Rue, I love the cute little breakfast nook. I'd love something like that.
What a beautiful kitchen!
What is out of sorts on your old range? Gas ranges of that vintage are really pretty easy to repair, as long as the porcelain enamel is in good condition. I'm quite certain that you could assay any necessary basic repairs.
Perhaps if you posted photos of the range and its problem areas we could walk you through the refurbishment.
