Hmmm "Vintage Kitchen" makes me think of those roadside diners full of gingham and kitsch that attract seniors through the summer months up here in the Northeast

How about adding "Mrs. Beeton's Scrapbook" (or similar) to the library area? Mrs. Beeton being the author of the very first cookery book

On moving day, I found what I thought was an old book, high up on one of the shelves in a cupboard next to one of the fireplaces. Finally pulled it down and discovered this! It's full of old recipes!

What a find, don't tell the previous owners you've found grandma's cook book. They'll want it back. And it seems she got a new stove, on layaway for the grand sum of $37.
