Vintage Kitchen – Evoking memories of an eraThe stools or kitchen benches are more and more popular nowadays, they are very comfortable and they occupy little space and have lots of different designs.
Originally, stools were used in bars and coffee shops to sit down in the bar, for this reason they were higher than a simple seat and they took a support to rest the feet.
It’s curious: when an object is old, instead of loose decorative value , it wins. The antiques are among the accessories to furnish and decorate with a high economic cost, and not only that, it’s very common give modern things a finish that makes them look aging. They are like many other trends in fashion and decoration.
It is not always the best decision to leave perfect the surface of an object when you paint it, or make it look “as new”. Perhaps the aspect of “new” doesn’t match with the environment and need to add an air of mystery and antiquity on the piece. There are many techniques that can be applied to achieve an old look.
In this article I’ll talk about retro decor, specially in kitchens. This is a place that offers many possibilities to give it an aspect of earlier decades. If you’re nostalgic for the old days and want to turn your kitchen into a special place, don’t miss the following ideas we’ll give you.
Use colors as blue, orange or brown combined with checkerboard design soils . The red, white and black are combinations we can also find in the decades of 50s and 60s. Regarding the materials that can be found in this type of kitchen, we have metals, glass and brass (laminated tables too).
When we buy a new wood furniture, sometimes it doesn’t match with the rest of the furnitures in the house. Not because we buy a different style (which would be very foolish indeed), but because of the years old furnitures have a touch of vintage.
The process of antique furniture with white finishing has been fashionable during several years and probably won’t loose its importance for several years. This kind of painting is perfect for recycling a piece of furniture you have out there, and you don’t find attractive anymore. Of course, if it’s old or hardwood, don’t touch it, would be a shame!
Today I want to share with you all … this fantastic collection of blue kitchens : beautiful, smart, sublime… Enjoy the feeling of freshness and relax that this special color provide in our home.
How have the kitchen cabinets changed through the years? The fronts are still very similar to the old ones, but now the stoves of the modern kitchens are higher, reaching to the ceiling or leaving a little air above the top of the cabinet.

Those old kitchens seemed more flexibly, far from the compact kitchens to which we are accustomed today.
