More of our Cottage Scullery

Our cottage scullery January 2009, early in the morning with sunlight flooding in.

Here are some more pictures taken soon after we finished the scullery project in 2003. Things have changed since then, lace curtains, a new red microwave and other little things. We used a lot of curbside shopped pieces in this project and bargain priced items also. One curbside piece is the little one drawer, one door cabinet under the left side of the sink.

The hutch we found 'curb side' many, many years ago. Homes were being demolished and these were being put out. We have another one like this and a bead board one also, from the same area, they are both in DH's workshop. I'll have to take a picture of what's inside as I've changed that around also.

To the left of that hutch, you see one drawer, that came from across the street when they did a kitchen remodel. DH partially stripped it, to let colors show through, we like that look, and we put a found old enameled top on it and that's where my bread machine is. Underneath is a little area where some things are stored. Next to that is an old enamel topped metal cupboard, also found curbside many years ago. The sink is a double, older, enameled cast iron sink that we bought from a salvage yard for around $40, I think. The window over the sink we bought from a junk/tool shop, not sure what we paid for it.

Here's the breadmachine, with my spice rack that DH made for me when we were newlyweds living in Spain. He made this out of African Mahogony in the Navy base's woodworking hobby shop.

This is a Spanish water jug, made from clay, the handle was broken on the top, we found it on the beach near our apt. there in Spain, painted it the yellow of our cabinets there. The little cement chicks we bought at a local flea market many years ago here.

This is the north east corner. You can see some of my bird collection, ruby ware, and some of our many paintings that we've collected over the years. The aqua glass vase, is a beautiful piece or art glass with a huge crack in it, that we paid $1 for.

I love this painting of geraniums in a cup.

This is another favorite.
The birds and flowers are a raised material then painted.

This is the northwest corner. The small grandfather clock was DH's gift to me for our first anniversary. It is a wind up clock and he got it in the little town we lived in in Spain.

This is a watercolor of a flower covered cottage.

These next two pictures are of the shelves just next to the northwest corner. This is a sidelight that DH put into the wall for light, and he made the shelves to fit and of course I proceeded to fill them with colored glass. Top three shelves and then bottom two shelves. They no longer look the same as I've changed things around since these pictures were taken.

The next picture shows another cupboard curbside shopped from across the street when renters moved out as we were doing the project. Then next is the fridge space, bumped out into the pumphouse area. Just to the right of the fridge is enough space to store my ironing board. DH made the pull out shelf that is over the fridge.

Here are a collection of teapots that are over the entry into the scullery, on scullery side. A plate collection is on the kitchen side, which you can see in the first picture.

I will close this little session with the cross stitch needlework I made for my late MIL when we lived in Spain. This was one of her favorite prayers. When she passed away I got this from the estate.

Have a great day.
