Our family's journey building our first house, as green as we can make it, on a budget, in Naples, Florida.

I bought something today...
While waiting for a surveyor to get our survey done, I have started doing a little shopping for the new house, actually my mom has. I saw this phone at an Antique store and HAD to have it for the new house. I cannot even put into words how happy this phone makes me. I don't know why.. but it does.
A little history on the phone:
The Western Electric model 1554 was the first touch-tone wall phone made by Western Electric and only had ten buttons (the "asterisk" and "pound" symbol keys were not present). It was the touch-tone replacement for the model 544 rotary dial model and the compliment of the 1500 touch-tone desk set model. From what I have been able to find out, it was first introduced in late 1963 or 1964
My mom bought me this 1950's Portable VINTAGE 5-SPEED "DORMEY" ELECTRIC MIXER Chrome Model 7600-
Isn't it so cute!! and it works!
I also located a beautiful Hoosier Cabinet that will go in our Kitchen/dining room area. We just need to go get it. This is a picture from another one that is very similar, once we get it I will post a picture of the actual one.
