I am the proud owner of this beautiful pink cast iron range. Her name is Dixie.
Dixie and I met about 12 years ago in a large Victorian homes basement in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
I fell in love at first sight. My husband was not so enthused ...carrying her up 2 flights of stairs to get her out of the dingy basement she was being stored in. I believe she weighs about 650 pounds.
We finally got her loaded in the truck and in her new home. She is a wonderful addition to my very pink shabby chic kitchen. I can't imagine cooking without her !!!Here are some close up details.....
I LOVE A FIREPLACE IN A KITCHEN!
My microwave redo...see before and after pictures on my blog.
A beautiful coffee urn I found on Craigslist!
Barbie key holder!!!
Decorated for Christmas.
I just loves me some ALOT pink glassware!!!!!
Close up detail of the shades...
If I was ever to compare myself to an appliance , she would be it...heavy set, lots of curves, and just the right amount of sex appeal !
This week she is getting a major overhaul. New burners, wiring , oven elements, light socket,thermostat....
Here she is all taken apart. I almost had a heart attack when I saw her.
POOR DIXIE!!!
After many hours of work by an excellent electrician, she is all back together, and set for another 30 years or so. I hope after I leave this world someone will enjoy her as much as I do. I love ya old girl!!!
