Retro 50's Kitchen Design Ideas
There comes a time that no matter how much you love your kitchen, you get tired of living with the same look. I am seriously planning on redoing my kitchen and have been looking for ideas. On my search, I came across pastel colored kitchens and loved what Merle M. from TroedelHouse did. In this kitchen you can see how old second hand store finds have been spruced up with paint, like the big hutch. The homeowner also added some retro, pastel colored kitchen supplies that give this kitchen a very cozy and fun feel.
As you can see the colors used are pale yellows, turquoise, off white, pink and mint green. The feel is retro, circa 50's style. Since I was working on a new design for Valentine's Day and worked with a pastel colored heart design, I thought you might enjoy seeing how you can accesories a pastel colored kitchen with an entire line of dishes that do not necessarily have to break the bank.
Pastel Heart Plates
These plates are made out of porcelain and can be hung or placed on a tabletop as decor. Little decorative touches in pale pink, orange, turquoise, yellow and off white can bring together that vintage look of a 50's kitchen.
Pastel Color Kitchen Appliances
A retro kitchen needs retro looking appliances as well. Visit my blog to learn how you can create this look for your kitchen.

Really like the coloured appliances - turquoise, red or whatever goes! My application just now only extends to those bright coloured old Pyrex containers with the clear glass lids that I use for butter - either a pound or 1/3 pound. Sold my Mom's heavy duty chrome kitchen set. The chairs had red seats. Just didn't have the room for it at the time.
