A kitchen this open doesn't just change how you cook. It changes how you live. ☀️🏠

More room to move, more room to gather, more room to actually enjoy the space you're in.

What's one thing you'd want more of in your kitchen if you could have anything? Dream big 👇

With a heavy heart we wish a Happy Heavenly Birthday to our main man Junebug! We have so many fond memories of you and your amazing presence 🙌🏾

The following is a tribute written by his son Andy:

Vern started at Kimball's in the spring of 1952. June Bug’s father Vern Norton Sr., worked for Darwin Kimball's founder of Kimball Appliance, his father, Harvey Kimball, at Kimball's feed store that used to sit on the corner of Lapeer and 7th Street. That is where Dad first worked driving delivery truck.

June Bug was 13 years old when he started driving a truck for Harvey. How is that possible, you ask?

Well, he got a special permit to drive the truck. He got stopped once and the officer noticed that Dad was sitting on a pillow and was really questioning this. The officer did say that Dad handled the truck as good as or better than a full–grown man. The officer followed Dad back to the feed store and talked to Harvey. From what I was told, Harvey went to a friend he had in the court (Judge Stay) and got Dad a special permit to drive, only for delivery purposes only.

He also told me that if he wanted to go on a car date, he always had a bad of feed or straw or something on the back of truck in case he got stopped. He also had a backup in case anyone called a customer told him to give them his phone number and would back him up and say he was expecting a delivery, pretty smart.

Try to do that in today's world. This sort of thing just doesn't happen anymore.

He worked for Harvey Kimball mostly until he started caddying for Darwin. Then June Bug said he then started at Kimball Appliance Full-Time.

Darwin Kimball was part owner of Midwest foundry in Marysville, Michigan, which for about 5 years. June Bug worked his way up to a foreman quickly with hard work and dedication. But, as many foundries did, it closed, so June Bug still being Darwin’s employee just went back to his first love—Kimball Appliance—and stayed almost 70 years leaving a lasting impression on the town and everyone he came in contact with 🥰

The energy of someone cooking on a Friday night with absolutely nothing to lose. 😄🔥

Here's something worth knowing before you buy a new appliance: finish matters more than you think. 🖤✨

Black stainless, matte black, and traditional stainless all look great but they each show fingerprints, smudges, and wear differently depending on how your kitchen gets used.

If you have kids or cook often, it's worth asking about finishes before you decide. 🥘

This is what June is all about. 🔥☀️

Teaching someone you love the art of the grill, a warm afternoon, and the smell of something good cooking outside.

What's the first thing you throw on the grill when summer officially kicks off? 🍔🌭

A clean kitchen is great. A kitchen that's set up to actually work for you is even better. 🍳

One thing people overlook: your range hood or over-the-range microwave filter needs to be cleaned or replaced regularly.

Grease builds up fast and most people don't realize it until airflow becomes a real problem. ❌

"They don't build em like they used to" but what does that actually mean?
