1920's kitchen, with a 1930's Roper stove that was in the basement. I found the far wall of cabinets at an architectural salvage lot.

I LOVE what you have done! I am currently restoring a 1928 brick bungalow and I really wanted a period stove so it is good to see that you have one and it works well!

I'd give it 10 stars if I could for authenticity! I love that there are no toekicks. However, I think the function is a bit odd with the two counters being so far apart and no workspace around the stove.

Wowza! I LOVE your kitchen. I especially love that you kept the old cabinets while modernizing the lighting and cabinets. I'm just in the planning stages of a kitchen revamp and I'm debating keeping my old cabinets or not. My cabinets aren't as cool as yours, but I think I can fix them up a bit. I was looking for inspiration and you've provided the perfect amount. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks for posting this. I LOVE this kitchen. I've been browsing the 'net, looking for kitchen cabinetry that looks authentic to 1920's and 30's kitchens. I've found quite a number that claim to emulate period kitchens, but so far haven't found any makers of new cabinetry that are true to the old styles. Question: How tall are your ceilings?

Hi, derekwendylogan. I purchased the lights from Rejuvenation, a wonderful company that manufactures historic light fixtures. The cabinets came from Architectural Antiques that is no longer open in Denver, but has a store in Minneapolis. The table and chairs were purchased at a local antique mall. The vendor found the table at an Iowa farmhouse.

Thanks for visiting my kitchen and for the nice comment. I totally agree that butcher block would look great. I've seen solid wood (not butcher block) counters in magazines too. I'll have to do a little research.
