Well, I just looked at the one sample sash I brought home (how could I not?) and it's blown glass. Yay! :D Thanks for the tips!

Yes; I've never seen Milk Paint before: very cool! And I agree about the "pre-worn" look. Blown glass: probably. They are authentically from the house, and it was turn of the century. We'll have to see, though. They don't LOOK fancy at first glance. Like, no stained glass. Just clear. Still...

Right; well, if you go to my blog, you'll see that there's a generous pantry area with 85" of wall space where existing cabinets (ugly!) can be torn out. I'm planning to do so, and then put two, freestanding hoosiers there. On any day of the week, it seems that I can pick up two antique hoosier...

I love this observation. I've been looking at hoosier cabinets. My pantry area is perfect for putting two of them side by side, and that's my current plan. One can buy extra deep cabinets like the ones you just linked to. I'm now thinking that I'll bump out my sink about 3" when I order my SB...

OK; those make sense. On to bowls and other serving/storage items on the open shelves... Comments? Concerns? Then, also, how many of us use a pot rack that's out in the open. This kitchen that I'm doing comes with an antique, dual fuel wood-burning/electric cook stove. :D I am thinking of...

Hi! I'm renovating an old farmhouse and have gotten around to the question of cabinets in my kitchen. This farmhouse is a true antique and has never had cabinets. I'm strongly considering mounting fixed shelves and then creating upper "cabinet doors" that either swing out or slide laterally...
