I've been looking at old kitchens a lot lately--they made do with few cabinets and huge sinks, mostly unfitted.
I've also been looking at limebased, chalk and milk paints, and you can find a lot of doi-it-yourself recommendations online. Chalk paint can be used on old painted cabinets just like it is used on old furniture, and the great thing is that it requires not as much surface prep as latex or acrylic.
The final surface is waxed, which sounds impractical, but it actually wears quite well and can be renewed easily, versus poly. It would have a nice matte finish can polish to a higher gloss if you wish so it would perhaps fit in better to an authentic old house.
You may qualify for tax credits for authorized repairs--mostly to exterior and structural, not for a new kitchen. However any interior changes would be reviewed to ensure that the integrety of the house is maintained new kitchen, OK, all replacement windows or synthetic siding, not OK. For example, wood window specialists check out John Leeke for some good DIY advice and masonry repair.
It is very important to match the old mortar, not just for aesthetics, but because old handmade bricks are quite soft and modern mortars will cause them to crumble.
Living in an old house is a long-term research project, but it sounds like you are up to the task. Kitchens and bathrooms are always a pickle in such homes. I can recommend the blog house for lots of information about historic kitchens and bathrooms to about IKEA has some unfitted kitchen lines, and is a great source for butcherblock and some great farmhouse and stainless steel sinks, and cabinets designed to accomodate small refridgerators.
An old-fashioned salvage sink with integrated sideboards could be great under those big windows. Older wood windows, even from the s, are worth fixing rather than replacing for a whole lot less money than new. You kitchen has a wonderful fireplace, floors, ceiling, and quite a lot of space and light. The window seat would be a wonderful place for a round table.
If you don't want to do that, you can probably sell it to a restorer or enthusiast, esp. Nice big vent hood--if it doesn't work or is loud, can replace just the mechanism--high end ventillation fans are litke that anyway. I actually like the orange color--old formica wears like iron, and that sort of color to red was very common in the s.
The square edge indicates it is 60s, about the time the kitchen was remolded. The chartreuse is growing on me, but I would paint to a more neutral color so the focus is on the fireplace. I have mixed feelings about the hardware--you have some of the real thing above the fireplace, and this is a poor imitation, but shiny chrome or stainless doesn't do it either.
Perhaps heavier oil-rubbed bronze would be OK, maybe stainless if you get stainless appliances. It is a tough balancing act to mediate between the very old, the middle aged and the new. As an artist, perhaps you can find a happy balance, and work with the color and create something unique and wonderful. Whatever you do, I would go more subdued and rustic than fancy Edwardian white and marble route.
As you live in the house and get to know its quirks, it will speak to you, and staying true to its origin, but making way for modern conveniences, will help guide you. Perhaps there are others in the area who have gone down this path and they can help you, and refer you to sympathetic workmen. Great for masonry and carpentry details It hasn't been updated since they added on a huge wing and moved there fulltime, which I think could have been done a bit differently to keep the old house front and center, but it was truely a labor of love.
The modern historic preservation movement got its start with an upswing of interest in the s with the th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and an effort to preserve Mount Vernon and Paul Revere's house.
I have 25 rotting Andersen series windows to replace that are 30 years old. Not the best window choice for the rainy Northwest. Trying to decide between Andersen and Marvin Integrity. Really don't like the look of the double hung Integrity and would like to switch some of my double hung windows out for casements if they are not too large. Like the look of the Andersen Thanks for your suggestion, Genevieve.
I unfortunately do not have the luxury of renting from an owner who cares enough to update the property. He has been quite clear from the beginning that he does not intend on doing any repairs or updating. It's a shame, but I have to take matters into my own hands. The noise can be unbearable. I think the quilt idea sounds great, however I'm particular about a keeping a streamlined look in the apartment so I think I'll buy before making it myself.
I love the idea of a vapor barrier though It is full of Anderson crank window Q. We had ours replaced last year. Pros and cons on both the Anderson replacement and the old Anderson windows.
We had broken mechanisms in the crank and some rotting on the outside. I would suggest inspecting them inside and out. That should help to make the decision easier.
The one thing I miss about the old windows is that the glass was larger letting in more light. We also only have partial wood as opposed to all wood. Anderson crank windows are supposed to be very good for air infiltration but ours frosted up in the winter.
The new ones don't do that. Maybe get a professional to inspect them and give you a recommendation. I wish I could get these authentic wood windows! They've got great character. Not to mention, authentic. Out of curiosity, what do they measure? Like Save. Thanks for the input and thats basically what I thought. I'm not a window expert but it seems like someone spent a a lot of time and some money installing them so I didn't want to replace them with vinyl. They actually measure 36X Thanks again.
While double hung wood windows are great, they demand a of maintenance. I remodel a lot of these types of homes and like to keep the integrity of the time period. Having said that, your view is blocked by the divided lights. I use thermal broken aluminum with double pane gas permeable windows, which represent the same time period and are more dimensionally stable. They also cost about a third of the price of wood windows. Like 1 Save. Brickwood Builders, Inc.
You can have a wood replacement done of just the sashes if you want to make some change and get better quality insulating factor in the windows. It appears there might be some type of storm window on and you could then get rid of that.
I am not talking about the type of replacement like vinyl windows where they come in and hack up your window and insert a vinyl insert. It is a wood sash replacement kit and should be installed by a professional. You would find these through a remodeler.
They are very nice and will look original but have the features of today's windows. Good idea Deborah. Andersen also has what is called a Conversion Kit for these windows. What it consists of is new sash, balancers, jamb liners, and lock and keepers. These conversion kits come with Low-E glass for improved energy performance and are much less expensive than new full-frame windows. E-Series Casement Window.
