12 Inspiring Real-Life Vintage Kitchens

Beautiful doesn't have to mean slick and new. See how these older kitchens make the most of their vintage style.

I stumbled across this article while hunting vintage themed rooms and thought it was most definitely worth while sharing. 

...................................................................................................................................................................

We lived in our house for 12 years before we remodelled our kitchen. For 12 years we had original 1941 cabinets, stained Formica counters and a collection of the cheapest white appliances available. Basically, a version of what many homeowners and renters live with.

So, what to do when all you can really afford are a few cans of paint and maybe some dishes? Embrace vintage and strut your unique style.

These 12 kitchens embrace and enhance their vintage style. Many of them are way nicer than our old kitchen, but they are not decor-mag stylish. They are not new and slick and perfect. They are real, lived in and cute as all get-out.

If you have ugly cabinet doors, remove them and go with open shelving. Paint everything thing white (an accent color on the interior back wall also looks great) and feature your stacks of dishes, cookbooks or spice jars.

White makes everything look fresh and clean. And mismatched chairs, dishes and fabric say, "This is all intentional."

Many older kitchens sorely lack in storage and counter space. Use furniture meant for other things to help you out. This wooden dresser works perfectly as kitchen drawers, and it adds eclectic charm. Also, if you have a fridge that's seen better days, why not cover it with chalkboard paint?

Draw the eye away from less-than-adorable appliances with bright splashes of color. These red accessories look less like a cover-up and more like an intentional design feature.

This is a remodelled new kitchen, but the fun embrace of the chaotic is a great lesson for older kitchens too. The opposite of going all white and uncluttered is to let it all hang out. You just know the person who cooks here is fun to be around.

Here's the other side of the same kitchen, proving that mismatched can be very stylish indeed.

The oldest trick in the book: Paint the cabinets a vintage color and replace the hardware. The rustic island makes it all look intentionally shabby chic. Very cute.

Going monochromatic in a fun, vintage color has a similar result to going all white: It makes everything look fresh and bright.

Embrace the era. This is obviously a remodel, but it does show what enhancing things like dated tile counters by matching colours and accessories can do to an older kitchen.

Nothing about this kitchen is sleek, new or fancy. But everything about it is adorably stylish. Replace yucky lower cabinet doors with a curtain in a cute vintage fabric. Paint your backsplash a fun color. Embrace wild, mismatched, eclectic style.

by Debbie Dusenberry, aka curioussofa.com

Go simple, spare and elegant. Vintage pieces like this chandelier and island table are rustic and chic, but not slick or new. The muted colours keep it calm.

by Vintage Renewal

This open kitchen succeeds by being utterly eclectic and "matching" the decor around it. Quirkiness and colour go a long way toward disguising less-than-perfect bones.

Display your vintage collections, hide your unattractive stuff in attractive vessels and keep your visual chaos in one, tidy place.

Mr.

Father's day is just around the corner so I thought I would put together some great pieces for the home to suit the male personality & then a little something from the professionals. Enjoy!

Two Toronto designers transform their century-old townhouse into a stylish masculine retreat.

Malcolm Patterson and Rodney Smith know a thing or two about style. As design afficionados who work with private clients, dress windows for top retailers and contribute their expertise to TV shows (you can see Malcolm's work on HGTV's Pure Design, hosted by Style at Home contributing design editor Samantha Pynn), these guys have the inside scoop on where to shop and how to pull it all together. They've embraced their own open-concept small space and created a mood of high style while maintaining the comforts of home. Carefully pairing luxe elements with some real deals from the local antique market brings an eclectic feel to their space.

Everyone needs a chair when putting on boots or shoes. Malcolm and Rodney were drawn to the humour in this artwork. Viewed up close, the oversize piece is pointilistic; it's only when you stand back that the image reveals itself.

Graphic lines and strong accents give a small space big presence. The vintage chair was an antique-market find. It took homeowners Rodney and Malcolm about 5 years to find the right fabric to re-cover it.

The cabinetry blends into the exposed brick, making the space look less like a kitchen and more like an entertaining hot spot that flows with the rest of the home. "The mirror just ended up there when we moved in," says Rodney. But it tricks the eye by visually expanding the small space.

Create balanced tension with a mix of soft and hard lines. For sculptural interest, the oval table is paired with the iconic Cord Chair, designed by Canadian Jacques Guillon in 1953. Custom drapery and layered rugs add comfort and warmth.

"Our bathroom is so big you could park a Mini in it!" says Malcolm. The vanity, a repurposed stereo cabinet found at an antique sale, provides storage and is a great conversation piece. Sculptural sago palms make a style statement.

Dark enveloping walls -- perfect for cocooning in a basement -- and oversize lamps frame the teak bed, topped with a blue Hermes throw for a luxe touch. Glowing cubes add form and function: they're both bedside tables and lighting.

Style at Home: What's your design philosophy?

Malcolm Never compromise; keep hunting until you find the perfect item. Stick with classic, timeless looks.

S@H: How do you set the mood?

Malcolm We make sure our home feels calm, warm and inviting. We insist on putting dimmer switches on everything.

S@H: How do you maximize space when entertaining?

Rodney We use the kitchen island as a bar, which frees up the dining table for eating. If we have more than six people over, the dining table becomes the hors d'oeuvres table. The trick is keeping the flow going.

S@H: What do you tell clients who live in a small space?

Malcolm You don't need to buy small things. A larger sofa will carry your eye farther, giving the illusion of a bigger space. The same goes for drapery. Don't just cover the window -- do the entire wall.

Love decor was styled for a bridal event at Ruby Press - just gorgeous!
