#21 My Chamber Stove Finally Arrived. I've Had It A Couple Of Weeks And Have Enjoyed Cooking On It When You Know You Know
For those who aren't planning a big renovation, your vision can be achieved by adding vintage touches and various accessories to your cooking area. “Buy unusual pieces, try putting things in your kitchen that might be traditionally suited to a living room, or even your grandma’s home,” suggests Helen Parker, creative director at deVOL. “Mix up old with new and always try to source authentic and well-made pieces.”
Adding wallpaper, an interesting backsplash, or brass accents can also transform your kitchen into a vintage one without putting too much labor into it. If you’re ready to put more elbow grease into your dream kitchen, swapping your cabinets and appliances for retro ones is also a great option. Repurposing antique furniture and appliances for this can add to the charm even more. Patterned fabrics like curtains, reclaimed vintage lighting, or checkered flooring are some additions that are worth considering as well.
