>Please don't tell me you nailed holes in your cabinets to hang heavy ass fuck cast iron pans from that swing wildly every time you open them?
No. They're screws. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
They don't really swing though, it's actually pretty stable. They've been there for years without issue. I've been wanting to paint the cabinets, wood grain really isn't my thing. I want the walls to be mint and the cabinets either red or orange. Maybe white with red doors. The holes are pre-drilled so filling the holes with dowels and restoring them isn't a hard task.

I really want a mid century modern remodel of my kitchen, but I can't justify the expense right now. I need to redo my countertops, they are the same ones my mom put in 20 years ago. Maybe once this Corona bullshit is over and I'm back to work. I want a vintage stove and fridge so bad.

Some patterns are ridicules. I have seen cartain casseroles go for over $1k at auction. But the average set of bowls or fridgies really isn't too bad when you consider how much Chinese garbage will run you at Walmart.

Thrift stores can be good for finding Mid Century Modern stuff, but you have to really stalk them nowadays because there are droves of people who flip them online. I've gotten about half my collection at thrift stores and the rest off the internet. Garage sales are good too, and the flea market. Boomers are dying off so it's a pretty good time to pick this stuff up. What I really want is an old Frigidaire refrigerator and stove.
