THOSE KNOBS.

A Gorgeous Vintage 1956 Kitchen With Original GE Appliances That Has Gone Untouched for Half a Century – I am kicking myself that we didn’t go with cabinet hardware like that. Those knobs! So cool! Funnily enough, the place my dad and stepmom bought had a very retro kitchen which they’ve slowly been replacing (much to my consternation). It had a toaster and a blender BUILT INTO THE COUNTERTOP, as well as this fabulous “NuTone Transistor Intercom AM-FM Radio” in the wall.

I wish “futuristic” still meant “lots of funky buttons and knobs”. Today’s sleek button-less minimalism is sexy, but it doesn’t really make you feel like you’re living the Buck Rogers in the 25th century dream, does it?

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
