You know what I miss? Retro-styled kitchens. You know, the kind with the glass jars and the soft colors that transport you to a time when ice cream sundaes trumped crème brulées... when gas prices didn't induce hyperventilation... when milkshakes only came in one size, big enough to share with your sweetheart.... Okay! Done daydreaming. Anyway, I'm not saying you have to turn back the clock completely, but a
soda fountain-esque straw holder here and an
old-fashioned toaster there (or my personal favorite, the
Artisan KitchenAid Stand Mixer in 'Pistachio') all add a certain charm to even the most contemporary of kitchens. So prop yourself up on one of those cushy red bar stools, pop a dime in the jukebox, and browse through my slideshow of retro kitchen decor. I'm off to go find a malted milkshake.
