Vintage Retro Kitchen
Your Vintage Retro Kitchen isn't an exact re-creation; it's a homage to the great pieces of the past. Nothing too sleek or clever, this look is all about charm and simplicity. Start with free-standing furniture like old butcher's blocks, hutches, and flea market bureaus; add lip-smacking retro appliances and open shelves to your showcase collectibles. A wood floor makes a great base for this look; hanging pans will prove both practical and eye-catching.

 

I just love this look.  It reminds me of my childhood, its rustic and full of yard sale, and auction treasures.

Do you like it?

Love it! If the style of house permits, I want to do kind of a farmhouse look in the kitchen at my next house.

Mission Possible: Organize new house and KEEP it that way!

Me too.  I am a country gal and I love the old farm houses.  I lost mine in my divorce.  Such is life I guess.

I used to have a table like that and when I decorated country that's pretty much what I did, the old country farm style.  I don't care for the chair though, brings back some bad memories LOL.  I had some wonderful chairs.  I still get a tingle when I see country things, but they don't really work.
