Wedgewood Love

This is our Wedgewood stove. It was here when we bought the house and quite possibly the first reason I fell in love with our home. I've always cooked and baked but this baby has thrown me full force over the edge. There is nothing like cooking on this stove, and don't even get me started on the magic of the oven. We also discovered that the world's best quesadillas are made on our Wedgewood griddle. Unfortunately a few weeks ago the griddle knob broke off. Wedgewood parts are hard to come by and we thought our perfect melted cheese days were over. Luckily we have a local Wedgewood specialist who had the necessary and rare knob for our little stove.A picture of our happy stove with its missing knob back in place. By the way, notice that door on the left? The oven is on the right and the left side is a storage space....so very cool. And yes, the clock sitting on top of the stove works.
ps- We installed the hood ourselves as the normal ventilation system for a Wedgewood scared us and that's a railroad spike hanging on the wall above the light switch.

Wedgewood stoves are so beautiful. Everytime I see one at an estate sale, I immediately want to buy the whole house. It's my dream to someday have one of those griddles!

I am so envious of your Wedgewood, Shayna. I can't wait until I have my own. There were two beauts at Urban Ore this weekend, and I had to refrain...

I have an original Wedgewood in bright Chinese Red (original color)mine has a griddle in the middle too. It also has a salt and pepper set built in on either side of the clocks. Friends say it looks like the Cadillac of stoves. Always a conversation piece when friends come over.
Enjoy!
