And, I love it!!!  Don't you?  :D

Like the sink shown previously, this metal Monitor Top Refrigerator was designed by Jacqueline Kerr Deiber.

I love the shelves and the ice box.  :D

Furthering my 1920s inspired kitchen is another recent acquisition - a cast metal Roper range, also by Jacqueline Kerr Deiber.

It's a very heavy piece, even more than the refrigerator.  It's also very wide, just like the sink.

This stove will have to sit opposite the sink since they both take up a lot of width on their respective walls.  I tried out a number of layouts just to see what I liked best.

I used the island from the Newport to see how an island with cabinets would look next to the range, but it just didn't look right to me.

Flipping the island and the refrigerator didn't work since the refrigerator is completely obscured.  That just won't do!

This one doesn't work because I would have to close up the new casement window above the sink and the interesting stove-top burners would be hidden.

This is the best layout to show off these fabulous pieces, but it really limits any shelving and cabinets.  I can add a small side floor cabinet to the right of the stove and either a matching upper cabinet or open shelves.  The remaining cabinets would be imagined on the open back wall.  :]

I absolutely love these pieces as is, but I'm going to have to age them a bit to get the right look.  I am terrified to touch them, though, so I might wait a bit until I am completely sure.  :D

My gift also included two unfinished doors with working hinges and a Phoenix parlor grate kit in addition to the refrigerator, all of which you will see in posts to come.
