kitchen floors
we pulled off the old flooring were going to put done pine but when i saw the primitive subfloor i said that's my floor! whitewashed it and sanded it off....had to replace a couple of boards so i painted those red and where there were holes nailed down tin cans, couldn't be happier with how it turned out...
how my kithchen cabinets came to be...
we remodeled our kitchen a few years ago and i knew that it was mandatory that we have primitive pine cabinets and counter top, every tried to talk me out of it but i held firm on that...found a cabinet maker who did just what i wanted but unfortunatly was not going to fit, even close in the budget so we had to put in ordinary cabinets from Home Depot, hated them...so greg made me pine doors and i painted, sanded, beat them with everything, glued stuff on and pulled it off till they were just what i wanted and we love them and the pine counter is wearing just like i wanted....he shares with all how he measured and sanded so nice the doors just for me to beat the heck out of them!
my kitchen
primitive blue cabinets used for glassware and such...the unique guitar wine rack was made for greg by our daughter katie, isn't it fun!

Coors Rosebud
i am a collector of all sorts of finds that have struck my fancy over the years...this pottery collection was my first and most treasured...picked up the first rose colored plate in an antique shop in Utah about 1975, only $1, pretty and had a raised rosebud design, my middle name is Rose (a family handed down name) so i bought it...and the collection has grown alot over the years, it's not found very often so i get so excited, my heart races when i find a piece...greg has gotten me a few pieces off ebay but i love the surprise find the best...
it was made by the Coors beer co. to compete with Bauer & Fiesta...only produced for a few years prior to WW2, then stopped to produce creamic mortar & pestals for the war....
at this point i believe i have one piece of each style made except the honey pot spoon, so keep your eyes on the lookout for me..
last summer The Antique Roadshow came to San Diego to film, my oldest son, who wants to inherit the collection was really hoping i would make it on the show, but they felt i knew too much about what i had & they like to have that element of surprise but it was still a fun experience...the three shows taped in San Diego will start airing this monday so i'll be watching to see if me, greg, matthew or heather are maybe in the background cause none of us made it on the show....
