I feel for you! Since the Victorian kit...Hi Anyes-<br /><br />I feel for you! Since the Victorian kitchens were utilitarian, they weren't designed or laid out for our modern tastes. And none of us would really want to go back to a true Victorian kitchen! So we have to make due with the original configuration, or gut the house and add on a new modern kitchen. Kitchens and bathrooms are the most difficult rooms to update in Victorian houses!<br /><br />-PamPam of Eastlake Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149348967860577425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250953785318479931.post-47762451589967146162011-03-12T07:09:57.375-06:002011-03-12T07:09:57.375-06:00Hi Pam,

At least you have made some cosmetic improvement and added some lovely decorative touch to it. I haven"t touched mine since we've moved in to The Dusty victorian because I just feel it"s hopeless. What my kitchen needs is a sledge hammer.<br />Anyes<br />XXAnyes K.

Too much snow this year!<br /><br />I found the vinyl lace shelf trim in a little gift store before I ever had the kitchen cabinet. That was probably 15 years ago! The gift store is no longer there. I wish I had another roll to cover the top shelf. If I find a new source for it, I'll do a post to let everyone know! It's very durable. :-)<br /><br />-PamPam of Eastlake Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149348967860577425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2250953785318479931.post-54899236972167962052011-03-05T06:01:48.040-06:002011-03-05T06:01:48.040-06:00Wonderful post Pam!

I am sure the cats will be glad of it.<br />Where did you find the paper lace in the cupboard, I have been looking for it. I am assuming it is paper not real lace, let me know if I am wrong.

I wish I had bought more of that shelf trim years ago, because now I can't find it anywhere. It's actually vinyl, so it will last forever.

My Mom's house had a similar kitchen - nothing above it room-wise plus it had one of those little naroow windows way up high.

That way, it doesn't take too long to find a spice when I need it!

I was going to ask if it was original to the house, thanks for answering that question! I have no doubt you can achieve your inspiration pic because you already have most of the elements you want, which I agree, use what you have. I'm thinking most of your project will be cosmetic. Good Luck and I can't wait to see the outcome! blessings, MarlaMountainBlessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678314764137656646noreply@blogger.com
