While working on a retro-inspired kitchen renovation I grew to love the element of fun vintage accessories bring to a kitchen. My clients were very confident in their choice to purchase a cherry-red Big Chill Refrigerator; however, others who also love the look may choose to explore this style on a smaller scale.

Retro themed accessories, in moderation, are a great way to evoke nostalgic feelings of the yesteryear. Luckily, there are no shortage of options in the marketplace. I couldn’t resist choosing a few of my favorite items that will turn a neutral kitchen into a tasty throwback.

Let’s go shopping: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5  / 6 / 7 / 8/ 9

If you live in a cottage style home or bungalow, then you could have even more fun with these kitschy kitchen concepts. How would you take your kitchen back in time?
