| THE KITCHEN | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As you enter the kitchen from the dining room you see the pine cabinets with beadboard backsplash and oak countertops we made. The odd-looking barrel between the stove and sink is Tom's grandmothers butter churn. |

| Amoung the many items in the kitchen are the rug beater collection hanging on the soffett, crocks, wooden utensils, and the tin painted bread box. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The framed bag on the left is from the flour mill that once stood in town, a nice find in the attic. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The oak sideboard was a gift from my uncle to play with as a little girl | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The plates to the left of the kitchen clock are advertising plates from the general store in town, which unfortunatly is closed now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The butcher block under the window was a nice auction purchase. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The sampler next to the broom closet was a project from many years ago | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The glass front unit holds the Noratike china my cousin brought back from overseas. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The bucket on the counter is a breadmaker that won first prize at the 1904 worlds fair. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
|

| Above the fridge are two crock jugs, one from each of Tom's grandmothers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Between the dining room and living room doors are an ice box with an old oak telephone above it. Most people are amazed that the phone still works. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
