Retro Cottage Kitchen

March 7, 2010 by Jane F 2 Comments

green retro cottage kitchen - Country Living via AtticmagThree shades of green worked well with the owner’s dishware collections in a retro cottage kitchen.

When the owner of this wonderfully fresh retro cottage kitchen bought the 19th-century house, the shelves and cabinets were a mess. She knew the kitchen needed a transformation and that green would be the color because it reflected all her collectibles.

Then, a darker “awning” green was added to anchor the beadboard wainscoting.  All three shades worked together and because they tied in visually with the owner’s collections of jadeite glass dishware, glassware and vintage accessories.

While that space is painted a fourth green — one just lighter than the kitchen wainscot. The inside of the shelves were painted blue and  Easter-egg-colors also were used for kitchen chairs. Then there’s the antique 6-burner, 2-oven Magic Chef 1000 from the 1930s. These beauties are not for everyone (pilot lights are on continuously and ovens tend to be small) but this one  helped complete the overall look and fit perfectly in a space between a window and a door. The painted, checkerboard floor was professionally done.

Green milk-glass canisters are displayed in a shelf found at a local antique shop.
