Comment on My 1940s kitchen by Nicole

Thanks for your comments, ladies – it’s great to hear that I’m not the only one who appreciates the vintage domestic style.

Thanks for the link, Princess Tachana – great pics!

Judi, I love the flowers in the sink too – actually, that whole kitchen is fabulous. Interesting that it has chairs on both sides of the breakfast bar, so that mum can sit down too, for a change.

Monika, I’d love to keep our current kitchen but it’s rather impractical – benches are good things – so it will depend on whether we can find more of the same to expand it, but I suspect we’re looking for a ’30s or ’40s kitchen salvaged from an old home. Ours is actually a Depression era style, very simple and quite appealing but already out of date by the time the house was built in ’42.

Hi Henry, if you take him to a restorer they should be able to advise. It all depends on how badly damaged he is.

I recently bought a toddler mannequin he’s about two and a half feet tall,jointed at the shoulder,holding a dog bone in his right hand.Just wondering if he’s worth restoring.

I remember my mother’s kitchen from the 50′s and 60′s. Started off with neutral walls and the kitchen cabinet and formica table. We had a pantry with a stone shelf. We had a stove and Aga even in those days. Later in the 60′s my father and I papered the walls in a very bold pinks and black wallpaper! (what were we thinking!) i’ve enjoyed looking at the pictures of these kitchens’

Well, Nicole, I will agree with Vicky Smart, and urge you to keep as close to original as it will be so rare and valuable. Can you add to what is already there, rather than alter the purity of it? I am sure whatever you do will be with care and lots of thought! I do love the originals, and once it’s gone, it’s gone!

Supercute! If you haven’t already found it, retrorenovation.com is a great source of inspiration (and pictures and sources for hardware) for owners of mid-century and atomic era kitchens.
