First Glider of the Season


For those of you that are regular SoBo customers, you know we always have great vintage gliders every spring and summer. This is our first one of the season and it's in super condition. It's a heavy-duty metal glider with the lattice pattern on the seat and back, in a medium 'sobo' green. These vintage gliders demand a front porch or a screened-in-porch and a cold glass of ice tea.

My Vintage Stove



I'm always telling everyone about my vintage stove. I actually bought it for the store when we first opened in 2001. I thought we would use it for display purposes but it quickly became to cumbersome in the store. We started selling so much furniture it was always in the way and trust me, this thing wieghs a ton.




So, I took it home to my own kitchen! My plumber thought i was crazy when i had him hook up the gas line but he knew i loved it and did as he was told. The stove top worked great but the oven never really stayed at a constant temperature. Let's just say i don't do much baking.




I finally found a vintage stove repair place in California that would fix the thermostat and I quicky sent it off for a diagnosis. I've got a working oven now, still have to manually light the pilot light but that makes for an interesting party.
