That seems to be true in the case of my friend's choice in appliances for her kitchen anyway.
Mmmm hmmm. Isn't this range stunning?! It's not a vintage piece.
Nope.
It's new. She did in fact buy a vintage range, but when the inspector took a gander at it, he informed her that it would not pass some sort of code. Disapointed, she gave the vintage range to a relative to put in his cabin, where the code wasn't an issue. She then found these amazing new-to-look-fabulously-retro appliances and the rest, as they say, is kitchen heaven history. (She also got a wall oven, and a coordinating fridge, shown here in a not-so-fabulous photo I took, but I wanted to share anyway...at least you cna get the idea of how great they look in her kitchen...oh, and I was lovin' the fact that she had the foresight to think to add a modern day touch- a flatscreen TV in a cupboard that was hard to reach anyway...so perfect for keeping an eye on the football game while cooking the bird and prepping the feast on Thanksgiving.)
Pretty cool, huh?
