It’s Secondhand September, so I’m sharing some of the many things I have purchased secondhand.
Allow me to introduce you to my adorable vintage pink stove.
My partner purchased this off of Craigslist and drove out to the country to pick it up. He got it moved into our kitchen before he realized it was set up for propane, not gas.
He called an “appliance expert out to our house only to be told it was impossible to convert the stove. But if you own anything vintage and mechanical, you’re not going to buy that answer.
It took time, patience, perseverance, and a few trips to a hardware store where someone who worked there knew a thing or two. The day my partner connected the gas to see if it would work, I’ll be honest: I hid in the other side of the house.
But it works now & I love it!
The other gift this pink stove brought was the fact that it gave me the confidence to tell my partner I wanted to paint our bedroom a subtle pink, which I also love.
