I hope those retro fridge doors can be opened from the inside

it's my understanding that if you have a afridge with that sort of catch, it's an offence to leave the door on the fridge

The seals are magnetic, not mechanical

That fridge looks like the ones they have at the morgue...do they have roll out shelves?

Once you have done the autopsy on that marble island bench you could then dispose of the remains in that oven.

Your're a riot mate

How nice is this kitchen -

Very beautiful.

Never mind his whole kitchen is probally bigger then my whole house

The owner has been in touch and sent me several other images. I just have to resize them to suit posting ........ the home is HUGE and the kitchen substantial to say the least!

OK - here are the pics I mentioned. In the truest American fashion, this house is completely over-the-top, but it is clear to see no expense was spared.... I imagine when he sold, that it would've fetched a great deal of money. Not everyone's taste by a long shot, but folks should be able to appreciate the amount of work and skill that went into it. Anyone who has broadband is welcome to request more pics of the rest of the place. Love it or hate it, the place contains heaps of extreme detail, including very nice exposed post & beam construction.

The ovens incredible. It looks like it was resurrected from the civil war era.

[seriph1]

yeah .... there have been a few questions about the oven ... I believe it is from the 30's or 40's - fully refurbished.... I think it cost around $16000US to restore. Am awaiting a replay form the owner on it

[seriph1]

Check these out - I mean, they won't be to everyone's taste, but I can see value in them

The green one you posted is really really REALLY nice...

I went to the old appliance club linked from the oven site. Does it remind you of a site for ovens lovers or is it just me?
