Doesn't it remind you of your Grandma's kitchen? Didn't everyone's Grandma have these plates? Well, it got me feeling very nostalgic.
And also, it got me thinking, the kitchen that I'm moving to hasn't been updated since the seventies. And, since I'm renting, I can't update it. So, I thought, why fight the obviously outdated cabinets and stove? Why not work with the whole retro kitchen thing?
So, I dashed together this inspiration board to see if I thought it could work:
And, I think I'm diggin' it! What do you think?

These look like some dishes that I just got from my grandma. She gave me and Mr. A a whole ton of them because she said that she doesn't want to clean around them anymore. Works for me!

This so reminds me of my great grandmother's kitchen. She had orange everywhere! I think you could totally rock an un-updated kitchen. If you can't update it, why not have some fun with it?

ReplyDeleteDO IT!!! Retro is chic!
The design you've created around that plate is wonderful -- and it definitely reminds me of my grandmother's kitchen. She had those dark wood cabinets that made it feel like a bit of a cave. I miss that place sometimes.
ReplyDeleteCute idea! We've lived in some very old houses with VERY dated kitchens. It's not always fun, but working with it sounds like a fun idea! And that inspiration board totally looks like my grandma's kitchen. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I say "go with it"! Why fight the obvious? And retro is very chic. Have you seen those espresso makers that come in colors like orange and avocado? One of those would be so cute in your kitchen!
ReplyDeletedo it!
ReplyDeleteLove it, I think you'll pull off the retro look beautifully.
ReplyDeleteIm JEALOUS!!! I am a retro girl! I totally love love love it! can I come have coffee in your kitchen?
ReplyDeleteAww, that's totally a grandma's kitchen plate, but so adorable! That would make me way happier than my boring Ikea plates :)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so cute!
i'm diggin' it! the colors are way fun and would totally fit a stylish kitchen.
ReplyDeleteYou should do it - looks super fun! My great grandmother bequeathed some of those colored canisters to my mom and I want them really badly!
