I love the cabinets but want so badly to re-tile the awful floor.

I picked this vintage dinette set up a few years ago. It took quite some time to find just what I was looking for. If I had the space, I'd love to add a whole booth set up as well. Maybe one day.

The bread box was a Christmas gift from Skip. We looked for bread boxes for forever but I never found "the one". He finally found this one, and I love it! I seem to have a problem when searching for specific vintage items in that it always takes me forever to find what I'm looking for if it's on my "looking for" list. I either eventually find it (I'm talking a year +), or give up and then one pops up out of nowhere. I'll come back to this "looking for" list in a minute...

Appliances and serving pieces on wire-rack shelves- cake pedestal that gets used often, vintage bar ware, a jukebox air popcorn popper, espresso machine, glass milk bottles (from the book release party), vintage toy tin toaster and cake carrier, etc.- most of these items were gifts from one occasion or another.

Now, back to my "looking for" list.... it's an ongoing thing. There's always something on it. It's kind of exciting to look for something specific which will in turn be a challenge. As previously mentioned, we love vintage store shopping. And here's the thing... when we go, we could spend hours looking around and maybe come home with one small item, but that's a good thing most of the time since we just spent a day totally entertained for maybe a couple of bucks. But anyways, back to the list... so currently I've been looking for a very specific milk sign. It's in my head, but I'm not sure I've actually seen one like I want in person, but I know it has to exist. I've been looking for this for about a year now. Item number 2 is a recent addition. On our NC trip I found an entire kitchen set like the little stove (pictured above)- it included a matching oven/stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. It was all in perfect condition, reasonably priced, and SO awesome. The problem was, I had the Honda at the time and it wouldn't fit in the car, the shop wouldn't ship it, and they wouldn't break up the set to sell one piece of it. So I had to leave it behind. Now I'm determined to find a large tin toy fridge.. that's the one I really want. One that has pictures of food items printed on the metal on the inside of the doors. I have a feeling this one item will also send me on a wild goose chase and I'll be on the hunt for a very long time. So now that I've disclosed this information, and if you see one, it's your duty to let. me. know!
