Good-Bye Old Stove
Demo day three and now it’s starting to get serious. I packed up my dishes, spices and vitamins from the upper cupboards and watched as the guys tore out the cabinets. There’s no turning back…we are officially ripping out major parts of our kitchen…like this old wall oven.
I think this oven officially qualifies as vintage…and not the good kind of vintage. Besides the smaller interior, this oven boasts a sill operational flip-down clock. I’m certain that’s not the official name, but you know the kind I’m talking about. It’s not a clock with hands, it’s not digital, the numbers actually flip down as each minute or hour passes. It’s pretty much the only thing I like about this oven. It’s the nostalgia factor because it reminds me of the old clock radio in my parents room…from the 70’s. If these kitchen walls could talk, I think they would say groovy baby, can you dig it?
With a little help from a friend, the next step was to rip off the soffits. Try as I may, I don’t really understand their purpose. Originally when we moved in, there was a cupboard hanging from this soffit, so I’m guessing it was just something interesting to hang the cupboards from. I see them more as wasted space that could easily be used for taller cabinets, so down they go. Soffit. Soffit. Soffit.
Now that my stove is covered in a blue tarp and my oven is completely outta the picture, looks like it’s time to get re-acquainted with my trusty friend Crock•Pot. Chicken for dinner…yum, yum, yum!
