Fire Damage

 
For those of you who have been to my home, you know how much I adore my oven.  It is the original General Electric that was installed when our house was built in 1957. When my husband and I found the house, his first home improvement item was to replace the oven. My response was "over my dead body."  Needless to say I have a lot vested in this oven. 

So, last week when it caught on fire while cooking a yummy steak, I knew I had to protect it - not just against my husband's wrath but also from itself.

We couldn't remember the last time we replaced our fire extinguishers. We could get a generic replacement at Costco for $70 but didn't my oven deserve something better after all those years of service? Something to express its personality?  Something that is so pretty it could be on display?  Or even better, a fire extinguisher that we could custom design?

As luck would have it, the French think like I do.  Enter www.fire-design.fr.  Ooh-la-la!

Love it, I have the generic version near my kitchen and share the same love for my 1960's Westinghouse oven with it's little adorable analog dials and original Westinghouse logo by Paul Rand. Good find.
