Everything Old is New Again
My husband and I were watching TV last night and saw an infomercial for an "amazing new product".
This apparatus could serve as a colander and go from a pot of boiling water to the sink and vice versa. It had this clever collabsible design.......do you know what it was? No? One of these.
Yup. A good old fashioned egg basket. I've sold vintage versions of these in my shop! My husband and I looked at eashother like "you've gotta be kidding me." He said "Wow honey, don't we have two of those in the chicken coop? And we've just been using them to gather eggs!"
Who knew we had a revolutionary new product just lying around.
But I am not surprised. A lot of early innovations are being brought back, which is awesome. It just really annoys me when they call it new!
A few other old/new things.......
Central vaccums came back in the 80's and 90's as a selling point in high end homes but they have been around since 1902 or earlier!
Fancy Dancy Showers, they seem so innovative and new....check this one out, it's from the early 1900's!
Built in ironing boards...so smart! I hate the sound of mine opening...like nails on a chalkboard!
Bread drawers and all the bells and whistles of Hoosier cabinets. Talk about efficient!

Lots of gadgets and storage bins from Ikea just to equal what you had in one cabinet.
This is genius. Every kitchen needs a holding pen for little kids! I'm
allowed to say that, I'm a mom.
Hooked on Houses
Clever use of space

I do not know this nice fellow. Pictures of built in ironing boards are kinda
hard to come by. I had to use what I could find. But isn't it awesome? It even has a pretty
cabinet!

Isn't that the cutest kitchen bar?
And I would love to have an office area in my kitchen like this. Looks
like the vintage woman was more modern than we thought.
This kitchen is from 1948.
