I really like old things.
I recently decided that I will buy myself this incredibly kitschy housewarming gift.
voila! milk glass nesting chicken!
I’ve got a thing for paneling. Of course, I prefer real wood paneling, but faux paneling is fine by me, as well as wainscoting, beadboard, and chair rail — I love it all! It’s comforting, and familiar. Makes for a nice textural detail.
is this my secret hiding place?
I’ve got a thing for Pyrex. I have a few of the baking dishes, and a few of the storage containers. I even have eight mixing bowls, given to me by The Mister’s granny. If I had my way, everything I cook with would be Pyrex.
I can’t go to flea markets, on accounta the scads of Pyrex.
I recently decided that I would like to buy an old truck. A really old truck. The ones that are metal. Like a 60-somethin’. Mhm, I think I would love it. One of my friends was kind enough to point out that in the event of a collision, my metal truck would simply repel the other vehicle. So good for my anxiety!
Can I get one in yellow?
Do y’all know what a cooler porch is? A cooler porch is a porch where it’s not built onto the house, but rather a porch that has been enclosed. A cooler porch is phenomenal, because you can use it as a mud room, a place to cool pies, stack soda, store bikes, hoard your bizarre collection of enormous pine cones; you can put your deep freeze there, or another fridge, whatever! A lot of older homes have their laundry facilities in them. Eyesore, schmysore, I love them!
Is it me, or is that wall paneled?
Old books. All bibliophiles love old books, right?
..and sniff them!
And metal patio furniture? From the 50’s? Remember those? Love those, too.
Sweet!
So I’m weird. Maybe born in the wrong time. Or missing a life I had before.

I like old stuff too. We have wood paneling in my house now and my wife wants to get rid of it. Ugh. Also, I’d LOVE to have an old truck! They’re easy as hell to work on, and they look awesome. Only one thing, I just watched a video on Youtube about a collision test. They took a new car and a 60s car and crashed them head on. The new car won. I was shocked.

You’d probably have loved the house full of furniture I have gotten rid of in the last 10 years and replaced with brand new furnishings. I lived most of my life with old stuff, now I want it new and shiny and modern and dust free and comes with a magic fairy to clean and dust? Please?

Probably! About half of my furniture is heirloom!

Thanks for dropping by my blog (Backstreets and Alleys). It is fun to meet new people. I like old things too! Yes, the books and their smell! Old clocks, galvanized buckets, vintage clothing, and old dogs.

I love the milk glass nesting chicken! These pieces are not very usual in Barcelona (Spain)… but this is a very good reason for collecting milk glass!
