Majestic oven of mine....

Several years ago , one day , my husband was out visiting a state sale . It was from a family that had their elderly mother passed way. She lived in the same house for over 70 years and she had the most amazing furniture. When she was alive she took care of everything she had ...one could tell .My husband was going to take our eldest daughter to her beekeeping weekly meeting when he called me and said: " Honey, you would flip over if you would see this old stove. It was made by a company named Majestic and it is a wonderful condition... I propose a trade... You take Sthef. to the meeting and I will stay and bid to win it for you". I said , very excited , Oh , YES dear!!!*grin*The drawing is a recently one of mine... thebaby is my youngest son, Ben. He was that age when we got the stove and he used to craw all around it , specially during the winter months were I always keep the stove on and warm to make my bread rising efficient.I am posting today but I feel so badly..... I have been visited by a virus and although everyone seems better , I am that last with it and nothing much I can do except to rest and ... to be honest with you ... I don't like to rest!!!*grin*

Where my heart is centered ....

When we first moved to this farm, I almost fainted when I saw that the floors were covered with red velvet color carpet. I had very small children ,many in diapers in fact, and I could not imagine living in a farm house with carpet floors.... the kitchen was very tiny and if you look at the roof on the picture above you will see that the division was for a wall that we removed and that side where you see my stove was the dinning room.
Our table alone measures 9 feet long , did not fit there...after all we are a family of 9!

Much has changed and my home is more and more like me ... I like simple things because I take pleasure in the most simple aspects of life .... I like comfort because I enjoy being home , spending time with my family in many ways....

Almost everything I have has a use .... This stove is an authentic Majestic Stove from 1920. It belong only to one other person .... she had it for 85 years.... it is always warm during our winter months ...it is the center of my kitchen.*grin*

I can many fruits and some veggies... part are storage in this small cabinet....

This solid Oak cabinet belong to a fellow that lived in town.... when I learned that his father had built and he had it for over 90 years and he was auctioning , I told him I would be honored to have it.

Some parts of our kitchen still need home improvements...I will get there some time!*grin*

This is the backing room... is next to the kitchen and it faces the pond.... the table you see is where I do most my small paintings and writings .... I love here....grin

Side view of baking room... I have 3 old rockers here ... children loves to read while the fire is on...this other stove I have is gas and cooks fantastically ... it produces an incredible amount of heat.

Yes.... it is here that my heart is warmed up too!*smiles*
